Had to choose between a bull float and a jitterbug on a weirdly hot patio pour in Austin
Went with the jitterbug to close the surface faster, but the heat made it set up so quick I was basically chasing it with a trowel. Anyone ever have a tool choice completely backfire because of the weather?

Honestly, that jitterbug call was a solid move but the heat just doesn't care about your plan. @kimc86, you ever chase a floating pan across green concrete in Texas? Feels like losing a footrace against the sun. Next time I'm just bringing a spray bottle and praying for clouds.

Man, that reminds me of the time I tried to use a power washer on a deck in full sun. The wood was so hot and dry it just drank the water and started splintering almost instantly. Had to switch to a garden hose and a soft brush, which took three times as long.
