Important Tips
Mix up all your Mud in advance to make certain colors match (the mud gets lighter as it dries). We only had to touch up the corners with gray paint once the wall was screwed onto the frame & seal all With Thompson’s Water Sealer.
You can also add vines, shading with a sponge , Natural or painted Moss, for whatever aged look you need.
We also used this technique over foam & more plywood in the crypt. It “feels” more like stone walls.
