Hi . Unless this is a very small area, I think you'd be better off getting someone to do it for you. Dashing can't be patched up or rubbed down, and it does take a bit of doing for even a regular plasterer to get 100% right.

I'm not trying to put you off having a go, so if you are happy to give it a lash do a search on this forum first, but be prepared to to live with whatever the finished job it looks like.

LOL reading this brings back memorys of a job we done. we done 1 panel for a bloke to see if he liked it. he said the stones where not the colour he wanted ( he said wash them so we did) he liked it. so we done the hole house like this. LOL in the end the house looked like a bowl of suger puffs. white cement and yellow-ish stones. lol
