2. The dreaded wood chip - does anyone use that any more?

I still have wood chip in my house. It tended to be quite thin and
was good at hiding crazed plaster surfaces in Victorian type lath
and plaster walls. It didn't/doesn't hide the bumps and dips that
the OP is complaining about.


I have woodchip too, on an old lath and plaster ceiling in my office.
IMHO it doesn't look too bad, but these days I wouldn't normally put
it on a wall for fear of the style police.


I agree it won't hide the OP's bumps and dips, but it lessens the
visual impact of them (IMHO), compared to a smooth finish.

I like woodchip.



I think blown vinyls are deeper and even more effective than woodchip.

Horrible stuff, not least the texture. It isn't easy to put up either.

Having said that, some people hate woodchip- the world would be boring
if everyone liked the same things.

I don't like blown vinyls at all, but I do quite like anaglypta in
suitable Victorian and Edwardian settings.
