My old finisher Ray in Tulsa told me to stop adding water at the truck, and it cost me 2 grand to learn he was right
Ray ran crews for 30 years and I ran into him at a supply yard on Peoria last month, and he asked why my slabs keep showing craze cracks. When I mentioned I like to splash a little water in the chute to keep the mix workable, he just shook his head and said that extra half gallon is why my finish never sets even. I brushed it off until a 1,500 square foot driveway pour in Broken Arrow last week, where I wet it down out of habit and watched the whole thing scale and dust two days later. The homeowner held back $2,000 and I had to eat the patch work myself. Anyone got a fix for workability that doesn't involve touching the water, or am I just supposed to suffer in this heat?

Ray's wrong, half a gallon in 95 degree Tulsa heat barely moves the slump anyway.
