Andre JS Ritins PS The total loss of the Studio and plant 2 years ago to a fire did not help either. Final result: Floor survived, walls did not. It was not however, I do emphasize, a test.

Will it work on walls. What is life span, Is it less expensive than replacing the tile. Do we need a professional to install. Where do we find it? Lots of questions please help us understand your product better. Great concept to bad you sold the right the first time you might be on your way to retirement by now.

Ritstone. Please write if you are interested, and I will respond.
I'd love to know if your procuct is available now? Please let me know when you can. I will be in Canada in a couple of weeks and would love to know (if available) if it is something consumers can only purchase in Canada? Easier for me here (U.S.) if available, but will purchase in Canada if possible? Thanks so much!

Sir, I anxiously await the arrival of this limestone paint product. Any news yet?
I am in the process of building a new home in Texas. I discovered a product called "Decopierre" this is for exterior and interior walls, sidewalks, bridge abutments, in other words has a wide variety of use the brochure I have has a website of www.decopierre.com. Hope this helps someone I plan to use it
I certainly hope I'm doing this right. I saw your show today (January 4, 2007 at 8:30 a.m.) and was also very interested in the Mock Limestone technique. I've read the messages left for you and see that I wasn't alone. This seemed like a very good product and I'm hoping you can give me as much information as possible in order for me to reproduce the work in my solarium. It seems you have had a rough go at it for a while but noticing all the responses from people it looks like brighter days are ahead for you. I'm like everyone else, looking for a product to beautify my home. Hope to hear from you soon. Thank you ahead of time and good luck.
Has anyone found out anything about this product, found a substatute that is of equal greatness, or heard from Andre?
Please I need help....I can't afford to gut my bathroom..but my uncle "Tim the tool man taylor" who is blind in one eye and never manages to complete any project past the "redneck"stage is wanting to do it.
Thanks for the update and I await your response regarding your faux limestone (I am using it on my shower walls and floors over tile. Will it also work over a concrete floor???
