New Faux Brick Tool


I haven't used these yet, but they look interesting and if they do what they say, they look like a supply and cost saver.


BrickBratz -Create texture faux brick and stone with ease - no taping!Create texture faux brick and stone with ease - no taping! The "Brickbratz" system was created about 3 years ago when Brenda Brunderman (inventor) was having difficulty with a faux brick job for a restaurant. After spending a tremendous amount of time taping grout lines, I then applied the texture medium. Apparently the wall had not been prepped correctly, and the base coat along with the medium was pulling up with the tape. She had no time left, so came up with this system, and finished the wall very quickly. Time saved has left her wanting to share this with fellow Faux Artisans struggling with current brick techniques. This time saving, user friendly system helps create textured brick without having to tape and measure all grout lines.
