New Venetian Plaster Video

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.

The Fine Marmorino is extremely easy to apply compared to most synthetic base plasters which are neither Venetian nor Plasters. If you are able to have a fellow applicator work a long side of you then your job will be complete in less time. Try to apply together and cover the wall with the same technique. You can avoid undesirable results by planning ahead the area that you will cover from beginning to end. An experienced applicator should be able to apply about 300 square feet per day. Two applicators can cover over 900 square feet. Burnishing the wall can be much more thorough when you have 4 sets of eyes checking the sheen is consistent and aesthetically pleasing. If you have a customer paying substantially well for your job, then this tip can prevent much trouble when the job is complete.
