Shoutout to the guy who showed me how to use a bull float on a 100 degree day in Phoenix

I was pouring a driveway in Phoenix last July and this old timer came by, saw me struggling with the float sticking. He showed me to wet the float down every 2 passes instead of keeping it dry. Has anyone else found a trick like that for hot weather pours?

lol I remember when my buddy tried this "hack" in Phoenix last July and ended up with a handprint that looked like some alien artifact in his driveway. The concrete was dry in like 20 minutes anyway, no shot the water was sticking around long enough to make a difference. Reminds me of that time someone on Nextdoor swore putting wet towels on their driveway would cool it down and they just got a bunch of moldy towels. Phoenix weather doesn't care about your hacks man.
