#0, (Weird as it sounds) Chemistry
Posted by Kat on 09-Oct-02 at 04:29 PM
We happen to be doing our Independent Research project in Chemsitry, and I chose to test the endurance of a fresco under extreme heat.
Weird, huh?
Anyhoo,I thought I had a basic idea of how to go about making said frescos for testing, when I reached your site and found a much more detailed and difficult painting process that what I had assumed.
If someone owuld be nice enough to tell me what is required for wet plaster painting and dry plaster painting I'd be eternally grateful. I'm not worried about designs either, it's pure color I'm testing.
Thank you very much to anyone who replies! ^_^

Aside frome buying lime putty from our store - main ingredient in fresco plaster (sand is the other one) and mixing plaster yourself...

you can get "Base Materials Kit" for children classes
http://truefresco.com/frescoshoppe/children_index.html

we will replace tiles and brushes (from the kit) with some fresco paints for you. That would be everything you need.

Fresco supplies as art supplies are not available in US.

alternatevely you can study this topic:

in our forums to learn how to use industrial materials for fresco experiments (only for experiments).
