Float

A flat, rectangular tool used to smooth and level fresh mortar, concrete, or plaster surfaces. Wood floats produce a textured finish, while plastic or metal floats create smoother surfaces. The floating process brings fine material to the surface and embeds aggregate, creating a uniform, workable surface for final finishing or further treatment.
