yes i agree this is the only way to do this pattern
but if you can't get hold of the grub try a slug or a worm
still works out the same top results top dollar everyone's a winner ;D

[spunky]

Thanks for the pictures mate your Mrs can sure dance .... ill pm you some of mine

 

[spunky]

no worries mate what do you think of the pole ;D

 

[church]

not sure a wooden pole is the best idea but hey wish my Mrs could do the splitz like that fair play

 

[Render Systems]

i will tell you... for internal work you put the finish on thick then roller with a smooth roller to bring it up like a bark finish... then when its setting you flatten the texture in gently to achieve the pattern

 

[church]

in all fairness RS i know what you are talking about it is the laced bark affect mostly used when artexing walls , im not sure if it is what james is on about he said its a rendered finish ??? .

That's called laced bark, never ever heard of it being called drapery texture. If it's a pattern in sand and cement done with a stiff broom it's more likely to be a stipple type pattern, but never heard that called "drapery" either.

 

[Chris W]

isnt that what you might call a errr 'brush finish' on concrete?

 

[james]

whats the best way to stipple finish render and the best mix for this time of year please.
