Afterwards, smooth out the surface with a spatula or a plastic trowel. Use a narrow edge of the trowel to draw slightly wavy, partly also deliberately broken lines.

Slate look - step 3

You might need to try first and if needed, hold the trowel slightly slanted. As the metarial dries slowly, the pattern can be smoothened out and tried again.

Slate look - step 4

Gently smooth out the edges and bulges if too sharp, until the desired structure is achieved.

The structure can be smoother or rougher, according to your personal taste.

Slate look - step 5

The edges have a "vivid" appeariance while wet. They will "fall" during the drying process (24-48 hours) and get less visible.

Slightly smoothen too sharp edges and too high areas with sanding paper (150 grit), but do not even them out completely.
