• Tidy up base rails and profiles with a damp paint brush or similar
to ensure a professional finish.
• When green (set but not fully hardened) apply coloured top coat
at a thickness of 4-6mm and texture as required (a rustic effect
can be achieved by lightly stippling the surface with a stiff brush
/ comb / sponge / spatula).
• After the face layer has been shaded and textured, and following
initial stiffening of the applied materials, the face layer is cut
through and the mortar layer cut into, using the appropriate
cutting tool. This reproduces recessed mortar coursing of the
brickwork or stonework; spirit levels, templates and straight
edges should be used for guiding this operation.
• Experience will dictate the best time for the operation to take
place; too soon and the spirit levels and other guides will mark
and spoil the surface, the cutter will rag and tear the material;
too late and it becomes difficult and then impossible to cut. At
the correct time a clean cut is easily achieved.
