Colouring Plaster and Concrete

Question:
Hi there, I've got a question. A guy up at bellingen uses some sort of color to color plaster like a sandy color. He says he dips it in. I can get you a pic of an item if you want to see one just curious if u have any ideas and other colors as they look pretty good and i got a lot of wall plaques i wouldnt mind doing.

Answer:

Hi, You get the colours in concrete and plaster by adding metallic oxides. We just put the colours up on our web store where you can see them. Click here to see the range. All the best for Christmas Joseph

In addition it is possible to use water based paint such as acrylic craft paints to the water before mixing in the plaster. Do not use too much as this could cause problems but it is worth experimenting as some beautiful colour effects can be achieved. Stan

You can get concrete stains at www.http://thisoldconcrete.com. The solid color stains cover just like paint and the translucent stains can be used for decorative stuff.
