Here are the features that will answer your questions. I have only used paint so far but this stuff is adapitable to anything I have used up to now. The web site recmends "dry colors", I guess that would be like Rit die or something like that. I ahve colored it with a little paint but it takes longe to set up when you have paint in it. You could even make a imprint in the bricks with some little wooden letters (inverted) It would give you a exact mirror immage of the mold.Īs I said it is cream color (ivory) in it's natural state. Th side up will be rough so the finished side would be the side down aganist something smooth. If I were going to use it in a mold I think I would spray the mold with Pam cooking spray first so it would be easy to break loose after it setts up. I think I could paint some pollyuathane over it and have it exactly like glazed tile. I might even try some 1 inch by 1 inch tile. That is what gave me the idea to make paving stones with it. After it setts up you can pop it fight out of the bottom of the cup and have a perfect round flat stone (well it is a mirror imange of the cup's bottom. When I use it I allways have some levt in the plastic cup. Sure would help making bricks/stones/blocks a lot cheaper.

It is something that should be easy to find in almost ant hardware store. Sharon, I get mine at a lumber yard here called McCoy's. The thicker you mix it the heavyer the texture will be. It makes a texture like what we in the building trades called "knock down" Looks something like stucko. I use a brush to "stepple' it on and then use a 3 inch putty knife to go over the top of it after it has set up a little. Naw, this stuff is American-LOL I don't know about it's adhesive quality. Sounds like Plaster of Paris with an adhesive.
