TrainNut said:I use wall joint compound from the home improvement store to cover my plaster cloth. It's affordable, pre-mixed to a perfect consistency, comes in it's own sealable container, stays mixed perfectly for months on end, takes paint well & drys into a nice hard shell.
If you cake it on real thick, yes, you get shrinkage cracks. However,Biased turkey said:Doesn't it shrink ?
I have used that pre-mixed joint compound quite a bit. I have used a small container, put in a nominal amount of compound, added a tad of water to mix to the desired consistancy, then put in some Hobby Lobby acrylic paint to the desired color. Then it is easy to just smear on, or paint on if thin enough. I will say this, tho, it takes a mite longer to dry hard, but has worked good for me.
