Preparation for faux brick painting

To start with one should use wood or steel framed flats covered in lauan. Either muslin covered flats or hard covered flat surface should be used.

Using a sponge try daubing the surface in order to create the required textures. Then the surface should be allowed to dry completely before painting.* Cardboard Method This is the most cost effective and easy way to get a brick painted wall. The desired sizes of the brick should be glued to the surface with the help of white glue of sculpt or coat. Then a very light layer of sculpt and coat should be added to the top surface of the bricks in order to seal and add texture. Then it should be daubed with sponge or rag in order to give surface texture while the sculpt or coat is wet. The next will be to wait until the sculpt and coat dries totally and then start painting.* Saw Dust Method A sawdust collection which can be found in any of the scene shops as well as in the piles of sawdust around the house must be saved and recycled. As soon as the tapes were applied for the mortar lines, the whole area should be fully brushed with white glue. Then the sawdust should be shacked generously over the whole surface. The sawdust should be then patted with gloved hands. The surface should be elevated or tapped so that the excess sawdust may fall off. All the masking tapes must be removed before the bricks dry and finally the bricks should be left untouched for drying before starting off to paint.
