Just figured out why my bull float was leaving those faint lines on a garage slab
Turns out the magnesium blade had a tiny, almost invisible burr along one edge from a previous job. Spent three hours yesterday trying to fix the finish before I spotted it with a flashlight. Has anyone else had a tool issue that took forever to find?

Honestly I've had the opposite problem. My lines always came from a dirty float, not the blade itself. Took me ages to figure out I just needed to clean it better between passes.

That's a good point about the float. I've found the blade can still leave lines if it's not perfectly flat against the wall. A tiny bit of dried mud on the blade holder will tilt it just enough to leave a ridge every time.
