My uncle told me to always add a cup of sugar to a 5 gallon bucket of mix for a driveway finish.
He said it slows the set time just enough on hot days. I tried it on a 90 degree job in Phoenix last summer. The pour went smooth, and we got a perfect finish without any crazy rush. Has anyone else tried this trick, or is there a better way to handle high heat?

Always thought that was an old wives' tale, but it actually works.

How many times have you heard something and just wrote it off as nonsense? I keep finding that the simplest fixes, the ones that sound too dumb to work, are often the real deal. It's like we're trained to ignore the easy answer. Makes you wonder what else we're all missing because it sounds too folksy to be true.
