A friend of mine is a top plasterer and I recall one day he had just plastered a big long wall in a new Hardrock Cafe in Bristol. The client rep was visiting the site and said, "Oh no, that's no good. It'll have to be done again." We all stopped and looked at him in dis belief, it was perfect. The plasterer was furious and told him so.
The client said, "No, you don't understand. It's supposed to look uneven and cracked and tired, this looks far t0o good."
The plasterer had to admit he didn't know now to deliberately do it 'bad'!!
Farmhouse finish. I did 5 harvester restaurants, all farmhouse finish, lay it on quite thick and leave the lay in pattern or rub it up with a sponge. Was getting the same rate as a finished product!
