Venetian Plaster application can be arduous when trying to achieve a smooth glossy finish. Firenzecolor, Fine Marmorino is very smooth and can be applied in three coats. Each coat of application needs to be perfectly dry and all the edges need to be sanded down. This process requires time and attention to detail. The last coat of burnishing is the coat that will complete the process of this Venetian Plaster. We recommend that you apply a thin coat covering about 2 square foot of Venetian Plaster and then being burnishing. In order to avoid areas missed or not reached in time before drying you can have a team applicator burnish right after you apply your third coat.
