Paint it with thinned down Yoghurt (cheap stuff from your local Asian supermarket), will grow algae and mellow it a bit. -- Dave Fawthrop dave hyphenologist co uk Google Groups is IME the *worst* method of accessing usenet.

Tried some treatment from a company called "Dye Brick" in a rustic brown colour, applied several coats but know where near in visual appearance. Concerned now that we may need to approach the professionals to get the appearance we need. Any ideas ??? Mark |
