One of my other hobbies is "rock polishing". When I empty out the tumbler drum, I have a slurry that, depending on the stones, has several different shades that when used for mortar on model structures looks GREAT! Heck, maybe I should start bottling the stuff for sale. I recently did a Walthers warehouse kit using this stuff, and I couldn't believe how "real" the brickwork looks. If anyone wants to try some of this stuff, E-mail me at buford6126@aol.com <br />I'll send a small jar "gratis", providing you cover shipping. (probably a couple bucks). I pre-paint the brick with a suitable color flat paint <br />then when paint is good and dry, bru***his stuff on and let it dry. Then, I take a DRY paper towel, and gently expose the brick. At this stage you can simulate different effects, such as repairs to the brick, etc. A light spray of Dull-coat finishes it. <br /> Todd C.
