I need that scaffold

[@SuperDrCaramel]

I attempted & it was too thick. What’s best way to remove?

[@sarahmoore6759]

Is this safe for heat if you're actually going to use the fireplace?

[@YourNewHouse]

Yes, it's mortar mix. It's used for brick and stone work, including chimneys. Thank you for watching!

[@randyellingson4997]

Who cares about your hair, it's perfect. Enjoy the process and have fun.

What's the difference in outcome between using whitewash ( watered down paint) vs mortar?

[@YourNewHouse]

I use mortar because I find it more durable and I prefer the stucco-like finished texture. Thanks for watching, Shanon

[@jodiegarris2220]

I have river rock, darker colors and they stick out and different depths up the entire wall and have very deep pores I guess you could say. Would this technique work?

[@blondie8902]

@@jodiegarris2220my fireplace is the same with deep crevices & I’m about to try this technique on it!

[@KLSpray]

@@blondie8902let us know how it turns out. Mine is the same and we’re considering doing this.
