We are coming to the end of over a years worth of work repairing roman cement decoration on St michael's mount in cornwall, thought i would would share a few pics. We have been hand modeling, casting, in situ running and re rendering all in Vicat Prompt natural cement.
 
excellent work - its a credit to you guys - good to see the artistic side to plastering :RpS_thumbsup:
 
Nice. Very nice indeed! Good to see these old buildings in order.
Have not been to St Michaels mount in years, might take a spin down.

Cheers perlite,
We have been using prompt with a range of different sands, much like as with lime. 2.5:1 coarse sands for coring out/ base coats through to 1:1 fine sand top coats. Casting has been at 1:1 aswell. You can use prompt neat too for bonding slurry costs, as an adhesive and a grout.
Finished top coat is a pigmented prompt blend which we have kind of re rendered everything with to act as a shelter coat.
