When dry, everything was sealed with poly two or three times. For the back wall, the flats were built and covered with beadfoam and metal screen where indicated on the designer elevations. The bead-foam was cut away to create a profile edge which merged with the metal screen. To simulate the pitted stone texture, a small amount of acetone was first drizzled and spattered onto the beadfoam. The painters were careful to wear gloves and a respirator during this process.
Some painters prefer to achieve the pined look by picking away the foam by hand or with a rasp.
The basecoat blend was then applied to all surfaces 7 When all textures were completely dry, the glaze process was applied.
