    Quick one for ye fellow spreads, can anyone give us a few tips on how to do a block effect on a sand and cement rubbed up wall. It's something that iv never actually done in my 15 year plastering. Any tips or what do definitely do or don't do? Cheers.

    Do you mean the horizontal and vertical lines scored onto freshly plastered walls to replicate blockwork?
    I'm not a plasterer but I can't imagine it'd be that difficult.
    I'm open to correction though.
