An old timer in Spokane told me my broom finish looked like a cat walked through it, so I started wetting the broom for the last pass.
That simple trick from a guy who poured concrete for 40 years gave me a way tighter, more even texture on every driveway since.

My uncle’s a mason and he swears by that same trick.

Ask your uncle if that trick works on old brick too, @jake_sullivan.

Are you talking about the baking soda and vinegar trick or the hydrogen peroxide method? All the old brick around here has that white fuzzy salt stuff that won't budge.
