Urbane Concrete
• Make Mixture A & B
• Step 3: Apply a medium layer of Mixture A. Allow 20% of the base to peek through.
• This is a wet-on-wet technique.
• Step 4: While wet, randomly apply Mixture B on top.
• Note: Be sure not to overblend. Allow all colors to show separately.
• Step 5: At 50 sec, Note: If needed, add more of Mixture A to create the desired composition.
• Step 6: Pull tape and with your trowel, soften any soft edges, moving horizontally and vertically.
• If needed: Step 5: While wet, randomly apply Mixture B on top. Lightly blend while allowing blend while allowing both the base and Mixture A to remain separate in some areas. Note: Do not over blend.
• Base paint surface area - Urbane Bronze SW 7408
• Tape desired grid
• Create mixture A: 4 to 1 ratio 4 parts TTG to one part urbane bronze latex paint
• Create Mixture B: 4 to 1 ratio TTG, add black colorant
• Apply a light layer, allow 20 percent of base surface to peek through.
• Speed up through troweling.
• One of the things that differentiate us is the flexibility to change the paint.
• While wet, apply Mixture B
• text underneath for description - randomly on top of first layer allowing some of the colors to remain separate while blending other parts.
• Don’t overblend
• Pull tape now soften the harsh edges

Glazing Stonebridge Sample
This is demonstrating how you can easily glaze on top of Texas True Grit plaster or any other plaster.
I am using the Stonebridge sample from a previous Texas True Grit demo.
I have taped off half of my sample to show the differences between two surfaces.
Step 1
Create Mixtue A. This is a 4:1 mixture. Use 4 parts Time After Time acrylic glaze to 1 part coffee latex paint or colorant. For this demo, I used a chocolate colorant.
Lightly spritz surface with water. Don’t oversaturate.
Now apply a thin layer of untinted Time After Time glaze to your surface. This will help your mixture to move easily.
Step 2
Now apply glaze Mixture A to surface, remove excess glaze with a soft cloth until desired effect. Let dry.
