the venetian plaster

topic posted Tue, July 3, 2007 - 8:58 AM by  Marisela
ok...so I /we have decided to venetian plaster most of the walls in the front of the house--7 gallons, 3 colors.....

I realize now HOW much work is involved..
so if ya'll have any tips, time savers, warnings! let me know!

We got the plaster from lowes valspar line.

Let 'er RIp!!!

FYI, I'm a pretty patient person--see the fire place I did in my album.

    d'oh! Marisela!! I meant to get back to you weeks ago on this.. life's been busy!

    If you haven't done your project yet.. the trick with venetian plaster is to not put on each coat too thickly, and be sure sure sure each layer is COMPLETELY dry before you put on the next.

    I love venetian plaster... post a pic of your project when you're done... :)
