 Subject:  CASTaCOAT...? fragile?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 1, 2004
 From:  Alasdair Johnston 
Hi Christophe...no problem with it being fragile (I don't understand why you are worried by this BTW..if you could explain I can answer for you)...just use a varnish (slow set type) sprayed on as the adhisive then 'dust' it on..then paint over it as per normal.. ...as with ANY grain powder always use from a big brush to get the 'even' coat you need and a drop of at least 6 inches,,,you would use this method with sand as well..

With Anti-Slip, the advantage of the CASTaCOAT is the grains are all the same size..just like the real thing...unlike sand which is not.

Hope this clears the question
