My uncle in Buffalo told me to keep a spray bottle in my truck for finishing, and it actually works

My uncle has been pouring concrete for 35 years and he told me this when I was complaining about surface crusting on a 20x30 driveway in August. He said just keep a cheap spray bottle of water in the truck and mist the edges while you're waiting on the mud to set up. I tried it on a small patio pour last week and it made a huge difference, way less tearing when I ran the edger. It's such a simple thing but nobody ever showed me that in my first 3 years of finishing. Anyone else have old timer tricks that sound too simple to work but actually do?
