basicly its paint with plaster fnish effect or its plaster?? 1 more question is: do i need to peel of the old paint before using this product. If its plaster so its "yes"
First, is Clay like Lime? I’ve heard..Once you use Lime, you have to completely sand it off ‘remove it’ if you ever want to change the color, other put another type applications on it.
Would you suggest like with lime, removing this clay application as well?
Also, although this is a slightly different product, in as far as the thickness, how would you compare a lime and lime wash with this process and product?
Sorry for all the questions, but I’ve been reading about lime wash, and the problems and issues with either 1. application, and or 2. diversity ie anti microbial aspects which prevent future application of another product later.
To make it clearer of my concern, because I know! It might be confusing how I’m trying to explain it.
So!
“Let’s say” one lime- washed their wall, and in a year, they wanted to change it up, or maybe add this clay application; how would they go about that?
Meaning, should they first remove all the lime first? ie sanding! Like I’ve been hearing!
Or could one have applied a sealer perhaps to the lime washed wall, making it easier to cover it with another application in the future.
Thank you for your time!
Painting Over Lime Wash or Roman Clay
Over Lime Wash
Preparation: Remove any loose or flaking lime wash from the surface.
Primer: Apply a high-quality, alkali-resistant primer to ensure good adhesion.
Paint: Use a high-quality acrylic or latex paint.
Application: Apply at least two coats for even coverage.
Over Roman Clay
Preparation: Sand the surface lightly to create a smooth base.
Primer: Use a high-quality primer suitable for clay or mineral-based surfaces.
Paint: Use a high-quality acrylic or latex paint.
Application: Apply at least two coats for even coverage.
In both cases, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for both the primer and the paint to ensure the best results.
Have you tried a different outcome using a combination of trowel and brush to maneuver the mixture?
Can you share the color?
How do you get different colors
I'm getting ready to use Roman Clay Fade to Black on my office walls. They are new drywall, but painted black with a satin finish (so a slight sheen). Can I use this as my primer base, or do I have to prime again? Has anyone else had any experience (good or bad) using Roman Clay on a satin finished wall?
once the first coat is sanded, do you need to wipe it with a tack cloth to get the dust off or can you go ahead and apply second coat without wiping off the sanding dust?
Definitely a good idea to wipe the dust off. I usually do a quick once over with a micro fiber cloth.
Can I do 3 coats if I don’t love how my 2nd coat looks?
This video is not completely clear, was the top coat a 3rd coat of roman clay or another product that was not shown?
I’ve got a new fireplace mantle I’ve DIY’ed. Do I need to mud and prime the drywall before using Roman clay? Or is just priming it enough?
You want the surface to be primed and and as smooth as possible. Skim coating is great, but not always necessary.
I’ve heard some people say that when using a metal knife, it sometimes leaves unwanted dark marks? Have you had that happen with your experience? Thanks!
We have, yes - metal knives can occasionally leave dark burnish marks when used with light colors in Roman Clay. We recommend using plastic knives with lighter colors to avoid this.
@@portolapaintswould you say Charleston is a light or dark color to use metal or plastic putty knife?
@@nguyenie3 - Charleston would be considered a light color. It can be done carefully with a metal knife, or to be safe, use plastic.
What's the color? I ❤️ it
This is Piano Room
How long typically would you recommend waiting between coats ?
My wall has eggshell paint and I want to use Roman clay on it. What prep work should I do? Thanks!
Essentially, any all-purpose stain-blocking primer should suffice as long as your surface is smooth.
