PSA: I switched from a wood float to a magnesium float on a 12 yard pour in Phoenix and I'm still not sure I made the right call
Back in 2019 I was finishing a driveway slab in Phoenix and my old wood float was warping on me every summer, so I grabbed a magnesium float instead. It pulled the cream up way faster and my arms didn't feel like noodles after 12 yards, but I noticed the surface set a little quicker too and I had to hustle my butt off on the edges. The old timers on that crew swore by wood and gave me grief for a solid month. Now I keep both in the truck but I reach for the mag more often, though I still miss how forgiving the wood was on hot days. Anyone here made that switch and gone back, or do you just run both depending on the weather?

Run mag in winter and wood in summer, that cream comes up too fast when it's hot.
