HI All,
Would anyone know what plaster would work over hardwood flooring or if necessary just over plywood underlayment. What sort of durability would I get? Doyle what did you do on the floors of your school? Would you recommend that?
Or if anyone knows of a product out there that's specifically for floors, I would appreciate hearing about it.
Many Thanks,
Kerry

Skim Stone is a good product for floors

Skimstone is a good product, but like all of the others, you should probably learn it in a class first. It is a cement based coating that can be applied beautifully, but it should be applied over cement or other specified substrates, I don't know if it would work over wood.
Kerry, if I were you, I would do a knock out painted floor.

Thanks, I'm familiar with skimstone. My understanding is that it does need to be applied to a cement substrate or vinyl, such as a countertop.
I attended the last FAUX EXPO in NYC and there was someone there who had a product that could be applied over existing floors. I'm pretty sure it was a synthetic in that it had the ability to expand and contract.
The hardwood floors I'd be going over need to be replaced and the owner would really like a cement look without the weight. I would advise keeping them as well except for the fact that they are in excess of 100 years old and no longer able to be sanded.
It's always fun to find new products.
Thanks for the info.
I look forward to any new ideas.
Kerry

Hi Nancy,Just looking at doing something with our kitchen counter tops.Real stone came in at over $12000.00.No way will I put that much in tops.By the way hows it going?Email me .Ken. studiouccello@wi.rr.com.

Hi Ken,
coffee seems to have a chemical reaction to the skimstone and I have had it chip. Maybe the acid, not rally sure. Otherwise, I've had them 2 years and they still look great.
Oh yeah, it does touch up easily, make careful notes on your color formula
