Thanks Stuart. There's hope then! My slab is 5 or so inches thick thickening to about 12 inches at edges, with plenty o' rebar. I guess I'll just have to find a "how-to" book on mortering and stuff. Any wise words about the process?

I have poured a 28x40 concrete floating slab destined to be a general garage and shop. I did not go with a grade beam (frost wall) due to cost. Up here in Canada, one has to go fairly deep. However, I am now wishing I did; I'm not keen on the timber sitting right on grade. I have searched this...

Can you explain this process of "burning" a smooth finish? I'm in the same boat you were.

I poured a 28x40 floor about a month ago, and it's less than ideal. High spots, surface pitting in spots, etc. How does one "burn" a nice smooth finish into concrete? :shocking:

Just found this resource and community and am looking forward to soaking it in! :canada:
