Had a fun morning working on content for 5 STAR Finishes LTD and learning about their liquid metal decorative plaster! Liquid Metal is used to create genuine metal coatings that look, react and feel just like real sheets of steel, iron, copper, brass. The 5 Star Finishes metal powders are genuine and resist stains, patina and oxidations etc. They're applied with a revolutionary and proprietary binder technology that allows for easy application via Venetian plaster trowels without the need for any sanding to produce shine. For interior surfaces. Can be shipped to most places in Canada and the US! Fun working for Trevor and team. They have so many innovative plaster and finishing products. If you are a general contractor, interior designer, or into unique finishings for fireplaces, floors, walls, etc., you should have a look! https://shop.5starfinishes.ca/products/liquid-metal-decorative-plaster
