Anyway, by 6:30 it was a light rain....It started raining hard around 8.
I went out to check, and where the rain is falling off of the house, there is a 1" or so ravine in the hardening concrete the full length of the patio.....
Not knowing what to do, because its a little late to trowel it(let alone in the rain), I threw a tarp over as much of it as I can reach so the water at least wouldnt' hit it so hard.
Ideas on what to do?

Short of tearing the patio up? It takes concrete a full 28 days to fully cure. I'd get some bonding compound and paint your ravine then use portland to fill. Better now than trying to bond to fully cured concrete. The sooner the better. Did we learn anything?
