This week the American Clay Plaster was applied to some of the walls.
The color is Amber Grain......hum along
cozy and warm
But they ran into a few problems......they were given the wrong advice by EcoHaus regarding the base/primer product.
It began to crack....
And then pop off!
But the good news is that once they scrap it off all the walls.....it can be recyled and reapplied once the correct primer is in place. Our contractor feels terrible. However, I think he has gone above and beyond to solve this problem. He called the president of American Clay Plaster to correct the situation. I understand they will be contact ing EcoHaus to help clarify the right application techniques to avoid this in the future.

ReplyDeleteAmerican Clay is a wonderful, incredible, amazing, healthy, beautiful.... product! The company is one of the greatest family run businesses that I have EVER had the privilage to work with! I would recommend going to www.americanclay.com and click on where to buy in your area. Then go to the find an applicator tab to find an applicator who has met all of the qualifications to be listed on the website. Sustain Interiors is an American Clay dealer in the Gorge and is located in Bingen Wa. and has had the privilage of working with American Clay for the past five years. Sustain offers classes and can service and answer all questions about this amazing product. Happy plastering!!
ReplyDeleteNever use clay when you can use lime plaster! The average lifespan of a clay plaster is less than that of a bottom of the barrel paint!
ReplyDeleteClay filled paints are the cheapest and worst made!
Use limeplasters or you will be sorry!
