Straw and Mica Texture Additives

Adding Mica to the finish coat of American Clay Earth Plaster creates a suble luster and depth to your wall. One container of Mica should be added to each 50 lb. container of finish coat plaster.

Adding straw to the finish coat of American Clay Earth Plaster gives the look of old adobe finishes. One container of straw should be added to each 50 lb. container of finish coat plaster just prior to application. Straw will mold if left in a wet plaster mixture for more than two days.
