first of all i do want to thank all of you who have replied to my posts and helping me i did take the advice sand prime and start over, it came out beautiful but i want more veining and a texture to it i have already burnished and polished and i am using lowes brand my question is after all that can i do more coats? all so is there a time limit when i can go back and put more coats on it will be about 24hours before i can get back to it. thank you again for all you help. michelle
Yes, Doyle is right on. it is also easier to drop back and burnish right before it totally dries. I use a clean dry terry cloth on Lowes plaster and it works great. If you want more veining/texture, take the origional color and cut with untinted VP to get more variation. Just be sure to pull tightly over the previous coat. If you want more info, you can email me directly at carl@luxewalls.com

I actually waited one month and applied Lowe's "signature " plaster to a finished job.It worked fine but usually it seems to come in slightly lighter, but smoother. I "burnish " and "burnish" and... well you get the idea. Only reapplied in a small 5 ft. section and then worked liked the devil to "blend " the lighter color . It came out fine. Shine /glow was even more pronounced. Keep in mind i am a amateur compared to the knowledable professional on this site .
