Hi,
I'm new to this list. I was wondering if anyone out there could give me
any tips on how to prepare an existing brick fireplace facade so that I
can install handmade tile over it. I've read one VERY short description
of a technique call "screeing" to fill create a smooth surface with a
thin coat of concrete, but not really enough to go on. Anyone have any
tips or resources they could point me to?

Many thanks
