Got a concrete wall and steps to quote.
Its been painted so I was going to hand grind it.
Then they want the look of stone,so was going to towel on 2 coats and hand carve it and stain it.
I havent done this before and need talking through whole process.
Also one step runs out about 2" over a width of 3'.can I just build it up with ec products?

Stucco glaze

feeds@yuku.com (canu4see) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 16:04:51 GMT

Can anyone give some advice on stucco glazing. Technique, product supplier, ect. Also, drywall glaze. Both application seam to be the same basically as US on overlays (antiquing) only it's verticle and probably a little different product.
Thanks

thought I'd play a little

I just can't sit around and twiddle my thumbs so I thought I'd start a project in my shop. (It will look better when I get it done).

Had some 1x3's so I framed out the counter top we poured in the advanced Plus class.

Stapled diamond mesh on frame.

Cave bar

feeds@yuku.com (xfrk) — Sun, 22 Feb 2009 19:38:16 GMT

I'm working on a house where the owners want a bar with cave-like walls and ceiling. I have a contractor who can do the shaping and finishing of the surfaces, but he is a waterfeature builder who usually works in rebar and concrete. This will be too heavy for this room since it is on the main floor with a basement below. The floor is 3/4" advantech on 18" deep truss/joists, 16" o.c. Tentatively, I thought we could panel the walls and ceiling with 1/2" plywood, add...

Vertical mix help

feeds@yuku.com (international) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 13:19:28 GMT

A couple years ago I did a vertical overlay using thinfinish and vermiculite. I added it to thinfinish and stamped a wall. I cant find my mix and cant find it here. Help please.

Coloring Vertical overlay

feeds@yuku.com (Kai Mahoney) — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 18:03:23 GMT

Hey guys,
Can anyone help me find out what type of stain is applied to verical stampings? The websites selling the stain seem to imply it's acrylic based, but is it easily available in hardware stores under some other guise? I live in Australia so is'nt so easy or cheap to get it from the US.
Help very much appreciated

Vertical applications

feeds@yuku.com (hiddentreasure) — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 14:14:59 GMT

How can TF and or TP or other products be applied for vertical application?

One Idea I have in mind is to use a product on some sheet form and then rais it and attach to the wall around fire place (wood stove) after it has cured.

How thin can it effectively be used for vertical applications, or can it?

Any insights?

vertical stamp applications

feeds@yuku.com (swalls36) — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:24:00 GMT

I've got a job where the customer wants a porch done in a stamped stone look. Only problem is there are vertical surface areas at ends of porch. some are 6", some are 12"+. Is a stamp possible on vertical areas? I am trying to steer them towards just and acid stain, as they are budget conscious, but if a stamp can be done vertically, how would you do it? If not, what other applications would be recommended for a porch with vertical areas? If I stamped porch, is there another...

vertical overlay on concrete block

feeds@yuku.com (bonvec) — Sun, 02 Dec 2007 15:09:08 GMT

I'm going to use a hopper gun and wonder if adding vermiculite to the mix would help cover the block joints. I layed the block myself and didn't joint them as deep as normal but I think they will still come thru do to the lack of thickness with TF.

Splatter then micro to wall???????????

feeds@yuku.com (Elite Ohio) — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 19:52:36 GMT

I was considering doing some cinder block interior walls. I was going to do a finer mist splatter to the walls to build slightly then trowel down pretty smooth to hide the mortar joints and to give me a good base to roll on micro finish and then wet sponge sand. Or should I roll on 2 coats of tf instead of splattering. It seems like it would be much quicker to splatter with a fine mist.

Does this sound viable? Does anyone else have any ideas?

Building a nice looking cinder block retaining wall.

feeds@yuku.com (creteartisan) — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 07:28:29 GMT

Does anyone have any insight and tips on building it, or photos of the end result?

I know the basic design required, but am mainly worried about it not looking really good. The wall will only be 30 feet long and 2 feet high, basically inline with a planters box.

I was thinking that I would apply a solid colored stucco finish with tf.

Also, for this size of project would it be easier to form it up and call in a concrete truck instead of dealing with mixing the bags of...

feeds@yuku.com (premiercc) — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 22:20:14 GMT

I notice no one really writes too much in this topic area but just in case. I have the opportunity to do some work on 3 fireplaces. I was thinking of doing a vertical overlay and just wanted some feed back from any one who messes with this. I know it's not EC products but has any one used Flex-c-ment or fossil crete or even made their own stuff? Also would it be better to do cultured stone instead? Let me know

Has anyone ever used EC to do shower walls?If so explain in detail how to use, and the best sealer to use. I tried a sample using cement board,troweled TF base, then MF,stained horizontal, then mounted vertical, screwed to studs, then filled screw holes w/leftover MF.

I'm Overlaying cracks in new fireplace,need help??

feeds@yuku.com (GreenMountainMan) — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 06:27:12 GMT

I have a customer that tried to build their own fireplace to save some money. They used Sacrete for the base and overlayed with an unknown material. It now has hundreds of small cracks(possible shrinkage). Can I overlay it without the cracks broadcasting through? If so how thick should it be?
