Its aerosols and not cheap, comes from the states, I am still waiting for one I ordered last week funnily enough....



I have used a few on the market, these arer the ones I find best... No links though I'm afraid though.

You will be looking at 20 quid for the texture, 20 quid for adhesion promotor then 20 quid at least for a tin of colour...

lol....everyone's the same though. If you take your time finding these obscure things from the states you don't want to tell everyone where they can find it in 5 mins!

what about the old screwed up rag and emulsion type effect ginge? I jest....

Seriously though, the info Damo is not giving is his lively hood, I'd be the same, I wouldn't tell every cu_nt on a BB how to put a ceiling up as I would be doing myself out of work.


Cu_nts!
