Tried a magnesium float for the first time on a driveway in Austin

The surface kept tearing no matter what I did, so I slowed way down and kept the float wetter than I thought I needed to. Has anyone else had better luck with a resin float over magnesium on hot days?

Yeah I switched to resin on hot days and it made a huge difference for me too.

I live in Phoenix where it hits 115 and I actually went back to paste from resin last summer. The resin got so soft my bowstring was practically sticking to it when I pulled it back. Plus I had a release that felt like it was slipping because the trigger mechanism was heating up. Maybe it depends on the brand you buy but the cheap stuff turned into a sticky mess in my case. I'll take a good synthetic wax over resin any day when the temps are that high.
