In this video I'll show you how to finish concrete smooth using a mag float and a steel trowel.
The best way to learn how to finish concrete is to watch how a professional does it, then go and try it yourself. There's no better way to learn how to use a mag float and a steel trowel than to just practice with them in some concrete.

If you're new to concrete, I'll show you the basic techniques of how to finish concrete smooth with these two tools.

In the video I talk about the right time to start finishing the concrete and how long to wait in between each time you float it or trowel it.

Concrete finishing is really an art, it does take some practice. You have to combine both timing the set of the concrete and knowing how to hold and use the mag and trowel. 

You will see in the video how we hold the steel trowel, how we tip it one way then the other as we trowel the surface and how much pressure to push down on the trowel to smooth the concrete.

After watching the whole video, you will have a very good idea how to mag float and steel trowel finish a concrete floor smooth.
