is this able to be used as a shower wall? so occasional water contact for short periods of time?

[craigathonian]

Great demonstration !....especially on this flimsy board. This technique is so much easier on a real wall. I'd like to add a bit of advice for DIYers, take a metal file and round off the sharp tips on the spatula corners as it'll make doing this kind of random movement technique a lot easier to accomplish.

These videos are great. As a new homeowner with a million ideas watching these I feel like I could do this or the lime paint.

Amazing work! Stunning ...However I must gracefully bow out... It a lot of work

Being in the trades it's fun watching a master of another.

Can you do a video on how to apply roman clay to rounded/curved edges?

[michaelklaehn]

I was thinking of using this around my fireplace. Is it heat resistant?

[AtEboli]

Thanks for the video- very clear explanation. Based on what you did here, it looks like application time is roughly 20 sf/hr? Would you say that is accurate?

[shannontate]

Love this but I imagine it would take me forever to complete one room. Anything similar that can be painted on with roller?

[jessicahowitt]

you guys need to come through and answer all these questions. I have all the same ones.

[MrJupito]

Can you apply this directly to already painted walls? My walls have some texture that I dislike. Do I need to sand it all or can it cover it ?

[MrJupito]

What is the color you are applying? Thanks

[Burningdaylighter]

My arms hurt just watching this. This would take f o r e v e r to do this in a house or even an apartment.

[heidiross]

Do you need to prep before applying to avoid cracking? How easy is the plaster to remove from wall?

[annaharris]

What is the color of the clay used in this video?

[charitygrant]

What color is this one? I dig it... it's the suede look my mother has been after for years. Thank you xoxo

Can you apply this directly to drywall or do you need to prime the drywall first?

Can i use a 12 inch blade to do the work?

[KerriWalsh-sh]

Did you start over primer or paint in this video?
