I don't know what your limited mobility adds up to but i am 70 years old and have ostia arthritus in both knees and i have had a go a "glopatta" and it was hard for me; we did make a long ramp out of bricks and coated it with this stuff to make it look like Queensland sandstone.It wasn't hard work but is was hard to be bothered doing; we did get a consistent and believable coating with good colour. the colouring we used was biege and here are the ratios we used, 84 millilitres might sound a funny base but it is 1/3 of a cup. 1 hydrated lime, 1 fireclay, 1 portland cement, 1 colouring, 30 mortar mix and about 11 water. if you make double that; it is about all you can use before getting to tired, if you are my standard physically. i will do 3 of these in one afternoon, here in the tropics and late in the day.Many people use chicken wire and stucco as a base and shape their mountain like that.Its important to be consistant about everything. Colours are another matter and this is an art and trial and error.Rene has an article by Jack Verducci and if you can get it off her; you will know a lot more, i have the article but don't know enough to send it to anyone.Rgds Ian
