so you've got a different technique to show us i do uh similar techniques but i like to use mine on the exterior it's masonry based not paint-based would you paint exterior brick i wouldn't do a paint because paint will stays on the surface will create a film and will block any moisture trap behind the brick trying to move out and that water is going to move out eventually so you're going to blow off the paint absolutely so what's your special mix so the mix that i use is a slurry mix which is basically portland cement a lot of lime and just watercolor so you're making your own huh yeah a couple scoops of portland and lime with a little bit of water a lot cheaper than a gallon of paint right maro i guess so right all right this looks pretty good now i'm just going to switch to my brush and just go to the wall like this that's almost like you're putting this stucco coat on it looks like huh yeah it's thick it's thick but again this is made to weather off i'm now going to switch to my water bucket so that's similar to mauro dabbing the paint off that's what i meant when i said there were similar techniques but a different result that's it right there right there there's the variation yeah and because this is outside not inside like morrow's fireplace this will continue to fade and aware that's right so we don't care how sloppy we are when we're applying because the weathering over the next few years is what's going to really give us what we want thanks for watching this whole house has got a video for just about every home improvement project so be sure to check out the others and if you like what you see click on the subscribe button to make sure that you get our newest videos right in your feed
