Pigment used: Waterford White |
Step 1: Fill holes and prepare room by taping off ceiling, doors and trim.
Step 2: Using a flat paint tinted P&L 24-21 mix one teaspoon of CE Grit Fortifier and shake well. Roll out entire room and let dry. This will add grit for your plaster to adhere to.
|
Step 3: Using a spatula, apply thin coats in a multi-directional patch-work over the surface; imagine yourself creating peaks and then valleys. ( When two people are working, one creates the peaks and the other will fill in the valleys.) This makes an even pattern of cross-hatching. Continue until all of the desired area is covered. Let Dry.
|
Step 4: Repeat step 3 to completion. You are building layers. Let Dry.
|
Step 5: Using CE's Glory Line Pigment, Waterford White, diluted in water about 3 tablespoons to a quart, rub in with sponge or brush until desired shade is attained. Allow to dry. The wash is not permanent at this point and can be diluted with a wet sponge if color is determined to be too dark.
|
Step 6: To protect the look and keep the illusion of stone we suggest the use of CE Vanity Wax - Flat. This can be applied with a regular household sponge. Another option is to use CE Flat varnish which can be applied with a sponge, brush, or short pile roller.
|
Step 7: Using CE's Scroll border stencil apply Metallic Wax - Groton Gold over stencil with sponge, continue the border stencil repeat around the entire room. Let Dry.
|
*For a stencil variation, try using CE's Regal Scroll stencil with white decorative plaster. Placement of this smaller stencil should be strategically staggered throughout the wall space. Apply thin coats of plaster with spatula. Lift stencil and enjoy!
