May darken the color or keep it as is, just waiting on the boss. Once color is final, we are going to flood it with UV-1.

Trowel coat was 1 oz of palomino and then I mixed up about 1.5 gal of ultra-stone @ 3:1 and added a half cap of chocolate. The base coats went down with 6 oz of chocolate for the grout.

Posts: 482 12/02/11 08:00 AM	Yes , such a lovely slick surface.........was it 50/50 thinfinish and micro on top.? Also pattern is very nice.....I understand what Gene is saying..you just lay out a tile pattern and then cut out the unwanted pieces of tape. right? Also when going on metal lath..did u use texpave or thinfinish? Last Edited By: dekco 12/02/11 08:05 AM. Edited 1 time.

It took about 2 hours to tape. Decko - All TF on this one. Just lay out a square tile pattern and cut away. Scratch - I quit counting after 10 staples.

Posts: 3428 12/03/11 06:54 PM Moderaor in training	Nick, how was it to troweled out pretty smooth with Thin Finish? I think that would be good to explain. Did you have to do multiple coats? I've found that using bag per bag of thin Finish and Micro Finish, I have more cream (paste) to work with when troweling to fill in areas that area sandy... gritty. Looks great by the way.

The first guy lays out the Thin-Finish with a magic trowel. The next guy follows by sporadically throwing out material and then knocking it down. Now, when knocking it down, keep the trowel at a slight angle so you don't just smear everything together. This will give it a pretty smooth finish, but still give you the highs and lows when coloring. We also like to stop on our tape if there are long runs. This will keep those lovely cold joints from showing up. Be careful not to build on your tape if you are using 1/4" tape. Hope this helps.
