Georgina,

I'll get back to you on your question. Been very busy with baking stuff.

I noted that Jim couldn't find this thread so he posted the picture...

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find the post asking for a picture of basic perlite plastering from a lady wanting to use it in her house interior. Here's a pic of the "rustic" look I used in part of my house. This is a two coat job: rough out, then top coat to, ahem, more or less smooth and up to grounds (light boxes, switches, etc.). To get a, more or less, smoother look, cooked lime and water would be used over this, but it would never be exactly smooth. You could use drywall as a base, rough side out, scored with a knife for grip.
