I am faux painting a tray ceiling using a technique called metallic textured finish, and it requires mixing the paint with drywall compound, using a squirrel mixer and drill. After researching, I think I can create the same effect by using Plaster of Paris, instead of drywall compound. It would be easier, since POP is in powder form. My question is, do you agree? |

Hi, I would like to thank you for this website it is very useful. I do have one question on color washing/glazing. I want to create a old world look and I have a base coat and 2 glazes that I will be applying. after I apply the first glaze do I wait till the first glaze dries then apply the second glaze, or do I put both glazes on and work both at the same time? any tips would be great, this is the first time I am trying this. Thank you...... read more |

I am trying desperately to fix it in the most cost effective way possible. I have tried everything, sanding-the top coat still crackles. I tried stripping-this turns out well and makes it very smooth, but I do not want to use the harmful chemicals that are toxic! I want ...... read more |

I have a 30x40 photo on canvas that I want to stretch and put in a wood frame that is only 7/16" deep. Can I use this frame or is it too shallow given the best option for stretcher bars? I've never stretched canvas before and have a show where I need to do 25 of these! Koren |
