KathieB Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Depending on the look you want, Spackle, drywall mud, or finely sanded regular grout might work. Or the wood might be painted grout color to peek out in the interstices between the bricks and quoins. Again, depends on the look you're going for. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shannonc60 Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I just grouted some home-made tiles with texture paste from the art supply store and it went really well. It is very smooth textured and stays flexible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minigirl Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 You can tint your spackle or mud with a bit of acrylic paint too. The artist tubes from the craft store have less moisture and make a great way to tint. I have been reading and watching video on this. Hope it helps.
