August 4, 20242 yr Hi. I’m looking to produce this effect (pics attached) in my porch as the walls are badly plastered. Any ideas on what compound would be best to roll on the wall with a masonry roller and not break off the wall at slightest touch when dry? Was looking at these two options which are available from my local: British Gypsum Gyproc Joint Filler - 12.5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Joint-Filler---12-5kg/p/148846 British Gypsum Gyproc Easi Fill 20 Compound - 5kg | Wickes.co.uk https://www.wickes.co.uk/British-Gypsum-Gyproc-Easi-Fill-20-Compound---5kg/p/141939 Thanks in advance!
August 4, 20242 yr The joint filler sets a lot harder than the easi fill. I am not convinced either will look good as a textured coating. Why not just get the wall(s) skimmed smooth with multi finish?
August 4, 20242 yr Author Thanks. Cus I ain’t got bars of gold to pay plasterers rates these days… It’s in the porch which is barely used and cannot justify the money to get someone to skim it. But want something that looks deliberately textured rather than terrible plaster. Edited August 4, 20242 yr by Logan
