Honestly, @robinm79, I see your point about waiting for the right time, but I kinda think rushing a trowel job isn't always a disaster. I mean, sometimes you get a unique finish that people might even like. Idk, maybe it's just me, but grinding down ridges sounds like more work than just living with a few imperfections. Plus, working late every time seems overkill when most folks won't notice small flaws. There's something to be said for getting the job done and moving on.

What changed my view? My knees giving out.
