   I saw it being used the other day on some 'New Product Showcase' on TV.

   Looked pretty cool, but, I WAS watching TV!

   a customer of mine used it (applied himself over regular finished drywall) in his home.  A coarse, sandy finish.  Supposedly absorbs moisture in the air and releases it slowly as the air drys out.  He used it in his master bath, kitchen and front entry.  I'm not sure if his brand was the one you link to.  Have them send you samples for a look at the finish.

   I've talked to them a couple of times at the HBANM shows.  Mother and son.  Think she was a potter and thus her interest.

   Prices seem high to me, but you're getting a total product and standard colors so maybe that's worth some extra $$.

   Never got into a detailed discussion, but I'm curious as to  how this goes on DW rather than plaster board.  Would think that the moisture would affect it.

   If you've got more time than money you can make your own...just like they do.  Much easier than gypsum...long working time.

   Hang on Jazzdog, there's a review of this product in the Houses issue (should be on the newstand this week, if not already)

   Overall, the results of this product installed correctly is really cool.  I worked with the stuff (in sample form) and it seems to apply pretty much like plaster.

   Thanks! I look forward to reading that issue.-Jazzdogg-

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   Their website is very thorough too, and a really nice bunch of folks that stand behind their product 100%

   To me, the really cool thing about the product is that unlike plaster, you can mix up a batch and leave it in the trough over the weekend, then just come back and add water and your good to go...  it's all natural, so there's no hardening that takes place by chemical reaction or whatnot.

   Just clay, aggregates, and some water to make it pasty - really neat stuff!
