I've seen some brick effect render and it looks amazing but I'd like to do it in a stand stone style on a small internal wall. Is there any place I can get such things without paying 300+?! I'd consider making my own moulds if I could also.
You can get imprint mats, rigid & flexi versions for concrete, whether you can use them for render I don't know, but they are not cheap. http://www.color-pave.co.uk/acatalog/Printing_Mats.html There are firms who hire mats. http://www.picsuk.com/categories/matt-hire There are also imprint rollers in various patterns.
Cheers guys, I've found another way to do it by cutting brick joints out from a top coat of concrete any way.... I want a sand stone colour but I want it to look natural in terms of colour and shades. If I mix some pigment into wet cement how would I make it so i can get a variation in shading?
