What is that? When I did a google search this thread is about the only thing that came up (along with boating links)-nothing related to floating cement.
n/m. Magnesium float. I found it but can't see how it works for this purpose. Unless you use it in place of a ruler, in which case how do you measure?
A "mag floater" is the rectangular shaped object with a handle that is used in masonry to level, or "float," concrete soon after it is poured into a form. It is light weight, makes cutting more accurate and it takes less pressure to hold the mag floater on a rectangular shaped ruler than it takes to hold the ruler by hand. I believe some quilting companies (F&P perhaps?) sell a similar object that is made just for quilting.
