Key Features & Benefits
-
Versatile Application Methods: Trowel undiluted plaster for heavy stone textures and raised stenciling, or dilute up to 15% with water to roll onto large surfaces quickly.
-
Realistic Stone & Clay Aesthetics: Recreate honed limestone, rough rockface, antiqued friezes, or rustic adobe wall finishes effortlessly.
-
Controlled Crackle & Distressing: Achieve controlled aging by heat-drying thick coats with a hair dryer, or layer over Cottage Paint Easy Crackle Medium for random, authentic fissures.
-
Superior Open Time & Clean Tape Releases: Extended workability allows ample time to detail surfaces. Furthermore, buried masking tape pulls away cleanly to reveal sharp, realistic block joints.

Step-by-Step Application & Coloring Guide
1. Surface Preparation
First, prepare your wall and prime using Texprime or Sharktooth Primer. This essential step ensures maximum adhesion, proper absorption, and optimal material yield.
2. Base Application & Styling
Next, apply 1 to 2 thin coats using a trowel or roller. If you roll the diluted plaster, flatten the wet surface with a rounded-corner wide blade to eliminate harsh trowel marks.
3. Tinting & Color Washing
Custom color your project using these professional methods:
-
In-Base Tinting: Tint the plaster base directly with universal colorants to match any major paint manufacturer’s color chips.
-
Glazes & Washes: Apply Stonewash Powder Pigments (non-fading natural oxide colorants) over cured plaster, wiping away excess material to accentuate carved textures and joints.
4. Sealing & Surface Protection
Finally, lock in your design with a durable protective topcoat:
-
Texturtop Flat Wax: Apply with a spatula for a universal, highly durable protective layer.
-
Zero Gloss Varnish: Seal over Stonewash accents for a completely flat, washable surface that leaves no visible film or colour shift.
💡 Pro Tip: Map out your faux stone block pattern using narrow masking tape on the primed wall. Trowel Carolina Sandstone directly over the tape, glaze your texture, and pull the buried tape while dry for razor-sharp mortar lines.
