Abstract
A method and apparatus for making a pliable wallcovering. The wallcovering replicates the appearance of aged, cracked plaster wall finishes, can be readily hung over existing walls, and is durable. In the method of making the wallcovering a putty-like joint compound mixture is applied to a pliable stretchable woven sheet. The sheet is comprised of strands forming interstitial openings extending through the sheet. The joint compound mixture is forced through the interstitial openings and is allowed to dry. The dried joint compound mixture is cracked in a manner which renders the wallcovering pliable.
