[TowerTalk] Cure for slump in fresh base pour?

[Tom Hybiske]

I poured a base for a short tower over the weekend.  I'm installing a Rohn clone tilt-over base plate.  After the pour, a thin sheet of plywood and the base plate was used to align 6 J-bolts in the wet concrete.  I guess I must have leaned on the center of the template because after removal of the template, there is a nice 3/16-1/4 in. slump at the middle of the base which collects and holds water.  But as hard as I tried to foul this pour up, the base is dead level.  Case of luck beats skill I guess. Now I'm afraid of water will collect and freeze under the base plate and cause havoc.  Is there skim coat material available that I could trowel on to remove the slump?  Should I just leave it as is and not worry about it.
