Five years late to the party, but sealing the brick with clear lacquer before applying the "mortar" is exactly the trick I needed. Looking forward to trying this on a few structures.
That is absolutely incredible! What a superb effect that is ๐๐๐ I'm almost believing I could do that, though bitter experience tells me my effort will end up a complete mess ๐
Nice work Dan, thanks for sharing ๐๐๐๐๐๐. I've got another two versions of that I've used (three if one counts whitewashed brick) and a complex method using weathering powders, which adds texture for specific applications ๐๐
