Reply to comment by KRed75 in Can this concrete be salvaged? by md9918

If it has dry mix then it doesnt have the right amount of water

Anyways looks like they added water to the mix versus adding the mix to the water which results in a bad blend

It's mixed correctly in the photo. OP just didn't work the surface enough with a trowel or float to smooth it out.

Here's how properly mixed concrete should look which is what I'm seeing in OPs photos. If it's visibly wet it has too much water.

Yep. Based on that video, OP used too little water. The dry mix is not fully saturated (or ‘damp’).
