It's wet-dash mate :RpS_thumbup:

 

[malc]

in suffolk we call that slop dash .

 

[bubbles65]

It's got loads of names depending where you're from marra :RpS_thumbup:

 

[thebigfella]

Ok daft question but how do I do it ? Never done any before customer just wants it something like (he's renting it out) any tips would be great lads

Did that say sloppy gash.

You can match it with a tyrolean gun with sand and cement which is a lot cleaner than rough casting it.

 

[bodplasterer]

Oh yeah we call it rough cast down here

Was going to try that hopefully that should work i guess it needs to be really wet ? :RpS_biggrin:

Depends on the tension on the bar on your tyrolean gun, have a play about on the back of a spot board - or even the front if you like - you will find the right combination of bar tension + thickness of mixture :RpS_thumbup:

And mask up first :RpS_thumbsup:

yes what you need is my one day corse on slop dashing it is intensive. it is very reasonable priced at £350 that includes a starter pack of 3 bags of sand 1 bag of op cement a packet of feb and 2 stop beads. so as you can do a feature panel on the front of your home when you have got the knac.
i am based in suffolk so you can take in some of the breath taking views here . or as the locals say if you have seen a ploughed field you have seen suffolk.
my studio aka as my garage is close to the main line station so i can soon pop down and pick you up in the old bird puller.
rember cash is king.

rough cast has stone in the dash. he said that he can crush the lumps so it must be slop dash as that is done with sand and cement

Rough cast is done with stones usually pea shingle.make sure you put lime in with backing coat to build suction build backing coat on to nearly glush an then just splatter coat.
