First we opted to do a seamless as there is alot going on here. Its over plywood ,felt paper then metal lath . I did in two continious lifts . Cover mesh first then add a touch more water , put a thin coat over first and do large area and add to thickness as you go . Check depth as you go to make sure you get about a quarter of an inch .Stamped right away .Next day i sprayed gold acid at about 6 to 1 and then did my ultrastone in beige and brown . All coloring was done with HVLP sprayer . I wont do any vertical without it . It is very easy to keep from getting any runs and you can just layer it to get the desired color you want . The key i think to do a vertical stamp is the water ratio in your mix . Try starting at 3- 1/4 quarts of water in texture pave and add till you get good results . I did not use anything in my mix , it is straight texture pave . Hope this helps . Tom M
