@Paul Kallus posted:Pat, that was how I got started in weathering brick mortar as well...and unless I can get in touch with the people who make and sell Robert's Brick Mortar, I will be going back to the old latex paint technique. At $13 to $15 for a 4 ounce bottle, the stuff ain't cheap. But, it use to go a long way and was much easier than the latex paint method.
I hear you loud and clear, but I’m not sure if we’re talking about the same latex paint....I use craft paint, from Hobby Lobby, or even find it at Wally World.....Hobby Lobby had the slate grey craft paint on sale for 3 bucks for a pint.......I’ve done 3 or 4 buildings with this jar, and I haven’t used hardly any so far.....I don’t paint on thick like mud out of the jar....I put a small amount in bowl, dilute with water, and a tiny drop of dawn.....brush on with a sponge, wipe off with paper towels.....easy peasy.....
