Adding a handful or so of fine granno chippings will achieve your bobbly effect but it looks bloody awful! !??

How about adding sharp sand put on wet then drag a broom no head down it, looks more like a slurry coat then a finish

Id mix a bag and add grano gradually testing it on a sample if you will amd it looks like a soft brush head had been used to brush down/up to create the effect?? Id defo be trying a bag to test than knocking 6 up at once before you know you can replicate the origional finish

we are doing a sample panel mate on a smaller wall round the back

 

[MikeAtthis]

Might have to seal it first but do a test Panel on a plaster board or something first

would you still float finish it first gregg

 

[stiltwalker]

Judging by the pic with the lumps bumps and waves that don't look like it's been floated, when doing a normal finish with a brush it's not floated first it's just put on neat then pattern

No mate id rule/spat then get the brush on it but not too early. Its trail and error am afraid your going to have to try a few techniques etc plus wether to brush wet or let it pull in a bit etc one of them am afraid pal. Best allow yourselves at least half a day to get it right??

I'll check my sample board when I get back but looks to me like you could use or maybe it is flexirend highbuild dragged down with a sponge float or brush ?

haha think we've been through all that mate

 

[roryston]

Looks like they layed it on then it fooking hammered down and they tryed wiping the water off with a soft brush!

I hate these jobs you can never match to someone else's finish especially with s**t like that.

All the best mate would be good to see what you come up with

 

[3kids1dog]

Just use the head off a semi stiff brush , the boobly bits are only bits of material what the brush leaves on dragging. There's nowt technical about that finish
Maybe hold a rule plumb on each pass with the brush

cheers will have a bash

As said above it looks very gritty. It wants some fine aggregate adding to it. A fatty mix but sharp. Get flat then a stiff broom down it.

I think what was used was a product called alpine. It was applied over the top of rubbed up render. webber make it.

don't think it's alpine mate I've used that before there are grooves cut into the render telling me it's a brushed finish

[GrantyBoy]

It's no wonder no c**t knows what it is. It's hideous.

it just looks like they have brushed the alpine on and not trowel on and floated it.
