Ok, hands up I messed up. I laid a concrete base for my shed yesterday, no trouble getting it level, but tamping did not smooth it very well. One of 2 causes, or maybe a combination of both. I had to mix the concrete myself, which took over 4 hours, so the first part was probably going off, secondly I realised after a while that the mix was too dry. Anyway what is the best way of smoothing it, so that I can seal and paint later? A strong mortar mix, or self levelling compound maybe? The base is approximately 3 X 2.5 meters. TIA
