These videos are great. As a new homeowner with a million ideas watching these I feel like I could do this or the lime paint.

Being in the trades it's fun watching a master of another.

Great demonstration !....especially on this flimsy board. This technique is so much easier on a real wall. I'd like to add a bit of advice for DIYers, take a metal file and round off the sharp tips on the spatula corners as it'll make doing this kind of random movement technique a lot easier to accomplish.

Love how he says to start in a corner, 1 minute after he’s been applying it and not from a corner.

This was in the Parade of Homes..abs. stunning.

Can you do a video on how to apply roman clay to rounded/curved edges?

What is the color of the clay used in this video?

can the clay be used in an environment with extreme temperature changes.

What colour are you using, vert beautiful

is this able to be used as a shower wall? so occasional water contact for short periods of time?

And this stuff just works and looks the same over all my drywall mud.. like on my corners, inside and out?

How many coats would you need for "In the Navy" roman plaster and should the primer be close to the finished color?

Did you start over primer or paint in this video?

Wow never heard of this

you guys need to come through and answer all these questions. I have all the same ones.

Make sure you skimcoat your surface to a level 5 finish and seal the drywall compound with a primer. Call Portola to find out what the best primer they recommend. Make sure your walls are perfectly smooth as any imperfection with show through the roman clay.

Nice

My arms hurt just watching this. This would take f o r e v e r to do this in a house or even an apartment.

I have orange peel textured drywall. Can I put on a skim coat on and apply over that?

@portolapaints

Жыл бұрын

Roman Clay is best applied over smooth surfaces. Any texture such as orange peel or knockdown are going to cause difficulties in application. A little roller nap texture is usually okay. In some cases priming the wall in the same color matched in our acrylic paint can help if there is a little texture. Definitely put on a skim coat prior to applying the Roman Clay.

Say we have textured walls, what makes it difficult to apply this product? Is it still possible to apply Roman clay on textured walls?

I just finished the first coat on my fireplace! I called Portola and spoke with an employee, as long as it is not in the main area of the fire (like inside the space around a wood burning fireplace) it should be fine. I installed a gas fireplace and sheet-rocked around it, and they said it shouldn’t be a problem. Guessing you already moved forward but thought I’d share!

Could you do this on a countertop and epoxy over?

I wouldn't recommend doing this however we've had people paint their tile (especially if this is for decoration purposes; ideally not a surface that's high-traffic). So feel free to give this a shot if you'd like however we don't recommend because you might experience issues with adhesion.

I tried with piano room and Figueroa colors , never got the effects, rather use Venetian ,

I learned this stuff is way more drippy than it appears in the video. I was losing lots of roman clay dripping off my putty knife as I was applying.

Is Roman Clay fine to use in Bathrooms?

@portolapaints

Жыл бұрын

Hi there, Yes Roman Clay is actually the recommended finish to use in bathrooms. It's actually a lot more forgiving in the long run and a lot more easier to touch up. I recommend sealing the bathroom with our Roman Clay Topcoat. It will add a slight sheen to the finish but it's kind of like an Eggshell level of sheen which ranges between 4-8%. Feel free to reach back out to us on info@portolapaints.com if there are any other questions or concerns. Best, Katrina

applying with a 6" knife on a chalk board size piece doesn't give you the gist of it when you're doing walls and ceilings; quick process? are you kidding? my client wants all their walls and ceilings done with this clay finish

Looks like a knock off of Venetian plaster

Does the surface has to be completely flat? Or can you apply over the orange peel texture many SoCal homes have? Or will the clay fill the texture to create the flat, Venetian plaster, look? I saw the comments regarding matte priming the surface but more worried about applying over a textured wall.
