My uncle swore by a 3 inch slump for garage floors, and I finally get it
He told me for years that a wet mix just leads to more problems with cracking later, especially in our Michigan winters. I always thought a 5 inch slump was easier to work with and finish. Last month I did a big double garage with his advice, and the surface came out way smoother with almost no shrinkage cracks. Has anyone else found that a stiffer mix actually makes finishing easier once you get used to it?

Totally agree, but that's actually a 3 inch SLUMP, not a 3 inch mix.

Nah you're both wrong, slump is how wet the mix is not the thickness. A 3 inch slump would be soup.
