Up® Venetian Plaster gives a beautiful, rich, and layered surface to any wall, piece of furniture or object. Follow instructions below for an easy and quick venetian plaster appearance.
SUBSTRATE PREPARATION
Substrates must be sound, dry, clean and as smooth as possible. Tape off adjacent surfaces with the proper low tack tape. Apply primer or flat paint in a similar color to the Up Venetian Plaster.
APPLICATION OF VENETIAN PLASTER
Up® Venetian Plaster is a fine acrylic stucco that can be applied using a mini-roller, then Back-Troweled or Troweled directly to the surface. Product is ready to use. A minimum of 2 coats is recommended.
CLASSIC APPLICATION
- 1st Coat - Roller & Back-Trowel: Using a mini roller apply the Up® Venetian Plaster in random rolled directions (up, down and diagonally, creating random “curving X’s”). Immediately “Back-Trowel” randomly using Up® Flex Trowel to create the random pattern.
- 2nd Coat - Trowel: Apply the Up® Venetian Plaster directly to the surface using a Up® Flex Trowel in a random “X” to fill in and smooth the texture.
- 3rd Coat - Trowel: Apply the Up® Venetian Plaster directly to the surface using an Up® Flex Trowel in a random “X” to fill in and smooth the texture. Skim tightly.
- 4th Step: Burnish/Polish/Compress: When the Up® Venetian Plaster is dry or nearly dry, create your desired level of sheen by burnishing/polishing/compressing using a Up® Flex Trowel in random directions.
Up® Venetian Plaster is a naturally environmentally good option for paint.
Very low in VOCs with no harmful chemicals, this water-based plaster paint is easy to use and has an amazingly beautiful finish.
Roll it on and wet trowel with random strokes. Let dry and “burnish” again with your trowel by simply troweling again with just the edge of the trowel by itself. Such beauty!
Such rich layered surfaces! The surface comes to life during the burnishing process. And so easy to do!! Do you have a room in your house that could use something a little a bit different?
Do you want a rich expensive looking surface that is sure to beg the question, “how did you do that?”, well look no further!
