The Plaster-Weld gets rolled on like paint to the original plaster and then the skim-coat goes on. The Plaster-Weld is a bonding agent designed to help the skim-coat stay put. There are other types of bonding agents that you can add to the plaster as you mix it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-90483739044057917552009-07-03T09:25:18.447-07:002009-07-03T09:25:18.447-07:00Greg, if you are using Plaster Weld on the ceiling...Greg, if you are using Plaster Weld on the ceiling, mean you don't do 3 (scratch, brown, finish) coat on plaster.

I'll just throw it out there, venetian plaster. It would be beautiful. the colors are more subtle as they are incorporated in the plaster. Trust me, no one will be looking at the wall with the redwood "masterpiece" in the room. And I'm going to guess, that all that redwood is going to cast a red glow to the room as well.

The only thing I could come up with is that I'm not doing it because I don't want to. I just have a picture in my head of what the room will look like when it is done and a wallpaper frieze is not a part of the picture. <br /><br />I'm sure it would look nice if I got the right paper.<br /><br />The carpet is redish. You can see a picture of it in the May 11th blog entry.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807710209656158413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11904671.post-32189748304714768912009-06-29T18:00:43.718-07:002009-06-29T18:00:43.718-07:00Why aren't you exploring a wallpaper frieze?
