Brick Carving with Wallcrete Stone Effect Render
In a very similar way to how the rock carving was achieved in clip 5, old and new brick effects can be created using a similar procedure. In this example we are producing a new brick effect with staggered mortar joints. Unlike all the other Wallcrete patterns and effects where the quality of the finished trowelled surface has very little importance, or value, quite the opposite is the case when … [Read more...]
The Ultimate Plasterers Radio
Christmas is now over, and we are just starting the New Year and there was a lot of chatter on our plastering forums about the best plasterers’ radio available. Now we all know that a plasterer’s radio has a hard life and a radio that lasts a year or so in my eyes is a good thing. I could not survive without music when I am plastering, and that is the gods' truth. I feel like I am going insane … [Read more...]

Simple Random Rock Effect By Hand Using Wallcrete Stone Effect Render
In this installation sequence, all the work was created ‘free hand’, without using any bespoke tools to produce the desired pattern. Also, as we wanted to produce a contrasting coloured mortar joint, two different colours of Wallcrete were used in the process. First, a grey coloured Wallcrete base coat was applied to the scratch coat immediately followed by a sandstone coloured Wallcrete top … [Read more...]
Colouring and Sealing Wallcrete Stone Effect Render
The Mountain Dry Stack wall was left for a few days to dry before starting to colour with the Wallstains. Wallstains are available in 19 different colours and are seldom used neat. Wallstains are normally diluted with distilled water to achieve a natural opaque colour when applied to the wall, (to avoid a false painted look), and can be applied by sprayer or brush. In this instance the Wallstain … [Read more...]
The Knauf MP Finish Day Out
A few months ago on The Plasterers Forum a thread was started about the finish plaster offered by Knauf and there was a lot of interest from plasterers all over the country and so seeing as Knauf are sponsors of The Plasterers Forum I figured it would make a great day out for the interested members to have a go with "MPFinish". I stayed in a local hotel the night before the event to make sure … [Read more...]
