Meoded Paint & Plaster | Golmex Concrete Look Plaster | Lime/Cement Based Plaster for Interior and Exterior Walls | Concrete Finish

I love the way my fireplace remodel turned out! It made me a little nervous because I had never worked with a concrete plaster before, but i watched a couple youtube videos and that helped. First, it's necessary to start out with the Meoded Quartz primer because it's formulated for plasters to adhere better. That part was easy peasy! The next day I started on the plaster. I did make the consistency thinner than what the instructions recommended because I found it easier to trowel on that way. After each coat, and before it dries all the way, you can take a wet sponge and smooth out any trowel lines. This helped immensely! I ended up doing three coats to get the look I wanted, giving it a day between each coat to dry. It did take two gallons to cover my entire fireplace. I wanted more of a glossy finish so I finished with a gloss concrete sealer, and I love it the final outcome! If I can do it, you can do it!

color and texture came out exactly how i wanted! easy to apply and mix would buy again.

The finish is spot on if you are looking for that contemporary interior concrete look! The results were just as I had hoped (see pics). I would actually have given this product 5 stars, but the instructions could be better. We found that doing it as the video instructed did not produce the look I wanted. 1) Trowel lines need to be gently sponged before it dries. However when we used the dry time guide from the video, the area would already have dried... too late to sponge! I had to do a lot of sanding on the first coat and do things differently on the second coat. I suggest cafefully monitoring the plaster as you are applying it; when you see it starting to set up, grab your sponge. 2) The video has you both applying the plaster and sponging horizontally to achieve a smooth finish, however it also gave my wall funky wipe lines; had to plaster over it. You might like funky lines, but if you like my look, I suggest you experiment with applying the plaster vertically, rather than horizontally; and no horizontal sponging to smooth. When it starts to set just do gentle sponging as needed. 3) If you can afford it or know someone who does plastering, it might be good to get some professional help. Whatever look you're hoping for, I hope you acheive it!

Loved the product easy to use

Used it on my husband's office and it turned out suuuuper cool.

Product actually works very well. Great texture and appearance. The question is, when I’ll get my second order? It s been weeks of submitting new orders and then being cancelled due to “damages during shipping”. I need to finish the job and there is something about this company makes me feel it’s not reliable. Not sure it’s shipping or issues within the company related to supply or production. Remove from Amazon if the product is not available!!

Great product - I am very pleased with the outcome

Concrete was easy to mix with water, application was a little tricky, with large paintbrush and a trowel we spread the concrete out . It dried pretty fast and had enough for second coat.
