How many cans (1 kilo) did you use for this wall?

Well that sure was a casual video from a manufacturer.

Hi. I want to apply roman clay over beadboard wainscoting in my bathroom. Can I fill the grooves with clay, or will the thicker application give it a striped look? If so, would primer prevent that?

So interesting. Can you apply this to a wall that has orange peel texture?

Hey cool Videos, and paints!
Quick question, how would you handle ceilings? Our aim is for the walls and ceilings to be the same color, yet I do like the roman clay finish.
How does roman clay works ceiling-wise? Can roman clay be rolled on?

Can two colors be layered in this process?
