Had to pick between a power trowel and a hand float for a tricky corner on a garage slab

The boss wanted it done fast with the machine, but the corner was too tight and I knew I'd leave marks. I spent an extra 45 minutes on my knees with the magnesium float to get it right. Anyone else ever push back to do it the slower, right way?

Old timer always said corners show the finisher.

But is it really that deep? corners show the finisher, sure, but who's gonna see it under a car anyway, cameron_hernandez69?

Oh man, it matters more than you'd think. If you're sloppy in the corners you can't see, you're absolutely sloppy where you can. Plus, grime and salt get trapped in bad seams and welds, that's where rot starts. Do it right even when it's hidden.
