The correct way to finish drywall seams for American Clay Plaster is to finish to a Level 2. The joint compound does NOT need to be sanded, but high points DO need to be scrapped of with a drywall knife.
Please note, for a more refined look to your wall you might have to finish to a level 3.
Level 2:
All joints and interior angles shall have tape embedded in joint compound and wiped with a joint knife leaving a thin coating of joint compound over all joints and interior angles. Fastener heads and accessories shall be covered with a coat of joint compound. Surface shall be free of excess joint compound. Tool marks and ridges are acceptable. Joint compound applied over the body of the tape at the time of tape embedding shall be considered a separate coat of joint compound and shall satisfy the conditions of this level.

Are your pad’s walls and floors a big turnoff? Natural Interiors can help you whip them into model condition. NI sells everything a house could need – from wool carpeting (nice for those photo shoots in front of the fireplace) to bamboo cabinets to hemp window treatments. It’s all made with sustainable materials that won’t off-gas VOCs. Tomorrow, NI’s got a workshop on sprucing up your walls with American Clay Natural Earth Plaster. Even nonhandy types can effortlessly slather it on with a trowel for a textured look in rich, earthy colors (see photo). And if you make a mistake, just spritz it with water and rework for a different effect – you won’t have to take it all off. Click here to view original post.

Please keep in mind that there are restrictions as to our color matching abilities. Restrictions include:
- Deep / Dark Colors. Our clays allow a 3 pound maximum capacity of pigment per 50 pounds of plaster. Pigment overloads cause the plaster to crack or craze in some cases and dust in most cases, after final compression.
- Light Colors/ Pastels / Bright Whites. Keep in mind that the Sugarloaf White is the brightest and lightest white that we can achieve in our products; although we can create subtle hues in the Sugarloaf White by adding small amounts of pigment.
- Bright / High Chroma Colors. With the usage of only natural, mineral-based pigments, we are unable to achieve most bright colors. Experienced applicators use pigments outside of our color lines to achieve brighter colors, but please note that usage of such pigments and tints voids the product warranty.
Lead time for a one Custom Color Match is 5-7 business days (this does not include shipping times). Lead time will increase for multiple color matches and/or if special pigments are required for the color match.
A $75.00 fee plus shipping will apply to the order. Your order will include one 12’’x12’’ sample (up to three upon request) in your desired finish: Loma, Porcelina, or Marittimo. A minimum order of three color packs does apply.
