Making the slate for the top & treads
 |
| I (scribbled) the water putty on to a piece of mat board - using a eye-dropper (see previous posts for details.) |
 |
| I let it dry - then sanded it... |
 |
| I painted it shades of grey with blends of red & blue... Next I'll cut this into tiles, then round off & paint / touch-up the edges & corners... |
 |
| I'll use this configuration for the slate that will go on the top (or floor) of the porch...on the treads I'll just use 3 tiles across the steps... |
