of a wall, a thin sheet of metal is placed near the form and 

 the intervening space is filled with a cement mortar which 

 has previously been prepared by being mixed with the 

 proper coloring matter. The metal is pulled up as the 

 pouring progresses. 



Spatter finish. If a rough finish is desired, it may be 

 secured by means of cement mortar mixed and thrown 

 against the face of the wall with a wire or willow brush 

 after the wall has been thoroughly cleaned and wet. This 

 finish is known as a spatter finish and looks better when 

 coarse sand and small pebbles have been mixed with the 

 mortar. (See Fig. 151.) 



Stucco finish. A wall or other structure may be given 

 the appearance of concrete construction or a cement finish
