Hot take: I think the push for magnesium floats on every job is overkill

An inspector in Fort Collins told me my broom finish looked 'too perfect' and might be slick when wet, which honestly made me rethink my whole approach. Has anyone else had a client or inspector push back on a finish you were proud of?

Too perfect" is such a weird thing to hear. Had a guy ask me to roughen up a patio once for the same reason. Felt backwards.

That's just rich people problems.

But honestly, how slick are we talking? Like a skating rink or just a normal damp sidewalk? Feels like inspectors sometimes just need to find something to say. I get the safety thing, but @riverthompson might be onto something with it being a bit of a luxury worry. Most people just walk on the stuff. If it meets code and drains right, a good finish should be fine. Making it worse on purpose seems silly.
