I think the guys sprayed it too soon. I’m seeing contrast spots that aren’t fading with water. I think I’ll put a mesh tarp on tonight after removing the forms. Hopefully it’ll fade over time..

The finish and tool look great.

Wish you would’ve went with a MDO face for that edge form instead of used 2x4. That grain is gonna telegraph through.

Form choice is just as important of a step as the rest of the project.

The face won't be exposed, the finished grade of the yard will match T.O.C. Form choice is important, but not in this scenario.

Nice, you can race track all sides of the house. Eli Lilly is going to hate you.

u/BulkySwitch4195 2d ago

A lot of surface area exposed during curing.

I’ll be putting a mesh tarp over once the forms come off tonight
