forty bucks or so it costs to rent.

I agree here. Makes the surface look really good (no air pockets) when you
un-form any exposed above grade surfaces. Just be sure to leave the vibrator
in an area only a few seconds or the stone in the mix will settle to the
bottom...ie: the mix will seperate. I could probably send a few pics of a
vibrator in action and of the finished product to anybody that would care to
see.
