How smooth will a magic screed get surface?
What's best for smooth indoor surface and rougher outdoor surface both working off road forms or previously laid pads?

Use a power float, the panfloat will leave it like a wood float finish where you need a little grip, change to the paddle floats for smooth and really smooth, depending if you want to stay up all night with it.

The tamp really just floats on the surface but you can kind of move the concrete by angling the tamp as you go along .the laser level as you roughly level the material really is the key .this might sound complex but it isn't really

You need to poker it ahead of the roller.
Just floats on surface , secret is to kee it moving so need to be stepping back as you pull towards you no stoping , best with someone with a rake to fill footprints between screed and operator

You have to be kidding!
Wooden shitters and hand tamping?
Yep! Not any more though, laid all of this in 3 pours and didn't break a sweat. No going back now

We do most of ours with 5" by 3" boards or 6" road forms if we're being extravagant[emoji1]. Hire in a hydraulic powered roller screeder in a length to suit. Works well, getting it fairly close to level first is key, usually pour half the lorry first then screed just to make sure we're not to far away level wise so if we have to shovel a bit out or in it's not going to far. Need to get the lorry away before he crosses the 30mins unloading line though [emoji23] [emoji383]

Best shuttering is a 40ft rsj 8inch by 6.
Weld on end plates so you can bolt them together, and weld on lifting hooks recessed out the way of the screeder
