have been talking about this product for years but thought you'd like to see an actual application; it's called Snow-Tex and it saved a badly damaged vintage ceramic tree from the trash heap; it's available in local craft stores and online. Read more about it--and Pete's Coconut update--here http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/20 ... -tips.html We love Snow-Tex!

Hello everyone. I know Maria and Howard have used Snow-Tex and have had good results with it. I am using it for the first time on my current project. Can anyone give me some tips on how to use this stuff? It doesn't really spread easily and I have to thin it down with some water to get it manageable. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Any advice would be really appreciated! Thanks, Lee |

Lee... Like every product...we each develop our own application techniques...the following works for me... I use small brushes with stiff bristles...those soft water color type brush don't work for me...on Wednesday I'll take a pix of the brushes i use...note...I sometimes have to apply a thin coat, wait for it to dry...and apply a second coat...also note...I've never found it necessary to thin snow-tex with water... I believe it can be applied with a small spatula or oil painting knife...but I've never tried... By the way...I tried to make my own snow-tex trpe product...I never could get anything that looks and works like the original...snow tex is a superior product...very bright, a nice texture an it dries quickly... My very best regards...Howard... |

lee...good morning... here are two of the three stiff bristle brushes i use...not shown is a 1/8" wide tip one... try this...load one side of the brush with a "glob", pat down the snow-tex and smear around in a small area...repeat, etc... i have never been able to apply snow-tex in broad sweeping strokes like craft paint... hope this helps... my very best regards...howard...

Good morning Howard, Thank you very much for your reply. I think I was trying to work too fast and use it more like paint than stucco. I will slow down and use your technique. Thank you again, Lee |
