Thanks, just to bother you again! what rig do you use to polish it with, its just that we are just about to cast some concrete benches, and a table, I think this treatment will work a treat. Andy

Hi Rachel, thanks for the kind words re the website, yourself and your team are to be congratulated on you work, very slick. What is the stone that you used on the curved stone bench in the Essex garden? and who supplies? I hope its not a trade secret, I do know some designers who keep things like that to themselves! Regards Andy.

Hi Rachel I have used the paint that you have been discusssing with Jo, the company you need is to be found @ www.sto.co.uk they have an extensive colour range, however your client will need deep pockets! as it is about �50+ per litre. Regards Andy

I Iove your stuff, great attention to detail, ever considered putting solar collection pipe work under tiling or slabs or in walls ? Message me with what you think and I can run you through the concept. Dom

Hi Rachel Thanks for paint info ! Thanks too for comments ! I use pantone pens for rendering my drawings. They don't buckle the paper & have a fairly good range of colours although the greens can be a bit garish ! Jo

Hi Rachel Lovely work - such precision in the craftsmanship - great to see. Out of interest what type of paint do you use ? I have found that masonry paint dulls & can't shrug off dirt - do you use anything special such as that new high tech paint I saw on Grand Designs ? Best wishes Jo - a fellow designer & admirer of your work.
