So you don't need to be so perfect smoothing it out.<br /><br />Also, I haven't really had any issue on my roads in terms of damage that would show through. And remember that mine are a thin layer of joint compound over foam so I could squish it and create cracks.<br /><br />However, concrete roads crack differently than asphalt, so I'm not sure if I would do concrete differently or not. I guess I'll find out as I build my sidewalks to Bill Chapin specs!Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18392489035115793196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5376057412116187041.post-10744416958696858352020-03-20T19:00:19.516-07:002020-03-20T19:00:19.516-07:00I've seen acrylic paint brushed on then dabbed...I've seen acrylic paint brushed on then dabbed with a sponge in order to reduce/remove brush strokes, to good effect. <br /><br />Glad you were able to salvage the road. Your crossings are looking great!Galen Gallimorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10272822237546731134noreply@blogger.com
