Tim, the reason you you can't checkout my small place online, is it does not exist. I am not in the marketplace at all. I just thought I would offer advice, and a few samples to anyone interested in trying this method. As I write this, I have a batch of Agates and Obsidion churning away in the basement. As I said earlier, the slurry from the tumbler works great for simulating mortar lines in brick. I just thought that if a few folks tried this stuff out and were pleased with the results (as I am), that I might someday market the stuff. But, no pressure here, I'll just keep my secret to myself. <br /> If you are still skeptical, I can suggest a similar mixture you can make at home yourself. Go to a lawn&garden center and get a box of hydrated lime. This is just basically dust from grinding limestone. Dissolve some in water and add a drop of detergent to break the surface tension. Apply to your brickwork and let dry. Take a dry paper towel and expose the "bricks". When you are satisfied with the effect, a light spray of "Dull-Coat" will fix it. <br /> Todd C.
