This video is about teaching you some of my concrete finishing tips when I'm power troweling a concrete floor. If you're a beginner learning how to finish concrete, this video will show you the basics of how to run a power trowel and how to finish a concrete floor with it. Learning how to finish concrete using a power trowel will take you some practice and some hands on training. This video is a way for me to share some of my knowledge with you about the process of power troweling a floor and the different stages of finishing concrete. I use the terms "floating" and "finishing" the concrete a lot. Floating the concrete is when we make the first pass over the floor. This pass is to fill tiny dips, level tiny high areas, and begin to smooth the concrete. After floating, we "finish" the floor using finish blades. These blades smooth the floor further each time you power trowel the  surface. The process of finishing concrete with a power trowel usually takes 4 - 6 passes of different times over the entire floor. It all depends on how fast or slow the concrete is curing. For more information and help learning how to power trowel floors, you can take my concrete slab course below. I have power troweling training in that course as well.
