The photos above, show the basic materials used for most of the set.

 

The photos below show the finished textures.

The deck The stone walls The walls
This texture is Homosote coated with a mixture of two parts of Foamcoat and one part of FlexBond. This texture, used on the deck and steps down stage, can take the high traffic it gets in the play, accepts scenic paint very well and has a dulled sound quality. The texture above is the white beadfoam, pitted and coated with a mixture of Foamcoat and FlexBond, but this time one part Foamcoat to two parts FlexBond. It was used as the surface for the stone walls and has a smooth stone-like quality. The scrim-like texture is metal screening primed with Rosco Tough Prime. The areas are filled with a paste-like substance created by mixing Foamcoat with Cabisol (1:1). This surface gets no traffic, but needs to be rigid and to simulate stone.
