How to float a concrete canoe! (Density)

So the real trick in designing a concrete canoe is to make it the right shape! As long as it contains enough air that the density of the whole canoe is less than the density of water, it will float. In class we didn't make boats out of concrete, but we did make boats out of a material denser than water: aluminum.

When should you float concrete?

When the concrete is initially poured, it should be leveled and graded with a hand trowel or a bull float and a screed, which will help make the surface smoother. It is also essential to use a float and a brush before the concrete sets, as this will help eliminate air pockets and smooth the surface further.

Flotation Principles

For instance, to make a mixture of zinc sulphide and oil as light as water, it would be necessary, even with the lighter oils, to use from 3 to 15 times as much oil by weight as the blende. This suggests that flotation, even as conducted on the lines of the older patented processes, cannot be due entirely to the buoyancy of oil.
