Frequently Asked Questions

What type of fabric works best for rag rolling?

Natural fabrics like cotton rags or cheesecloth work best as they absorb glaze evenly and create consistent textures without leaving lint.

How do you maintain color consistency across large walls?

We work in manageable sections with overlapping techniques and maintain wet edges to ensure seamless color transitions across entire surfaces.

Is rag rolling suitable for high-moisture areas?

With appropriate sealing and moisture-resistant glazes, rag rolling can be successfully applied in bathrooms and kitchens.
