Wes, The first pic was done with a white base coat and then 1 ounce of charcoal on the skip trowel. 1/3 can equivalent of brass reflector mixed with burnt umber hydra stone into the pt1. Then I added a pinch of jet black HS and dribbled it on as I squeegeed the pt1 on.

The white sample board was done with no color on base or skip trowel. Pattern was cut and silver was added to Spartic-All rm and brushed on the bands and 844 black added for the squares. 1/2 hour later we covered the rest of the board with Spartic-All. We were able to cut it up in a couple of hours. That particular sample will be going down on a 6000 sq. ft. show room floor in southern Indiana by a couple of new installers that own an outdoor fireplace showroom. I wasn't that thrilled with the idea at first but I think it was one of the better combos done during this class. The pic doesn't do it service.

Pic 3 and 5 are the same board shot at opposing sides. I couldn't believe how much that board changed when walking around it. Orange gold and Russet mixed together with burnt umber HS and another squirt of black. I'm going to have to learn how to use my camera to show the colors better. gene ec-Indy

No problem Wes. I've gotten possessed with this stuff. I have notes all around me thinking of other ways to apply it. (this isn't normal is it?) I think this is one of the best new products EC has done for awhile. It even gives new ways to use hydra stone. I just saw another application that would be neat to try with reflector on a faux painters board I'm on. (those gals... and guys are deep into the the art thing)

My main goal is to find a quick way to make it look as if we worked hard. (the harder we work, the more we make). gene ec-Indy

Oh lord Dirk..... I will look at my records and get back with you. I can tell you that I use 2oz. diluted 4-1 on just about all colorartions. Will let ya know.   gene  ec-Indy
