ROCOCÒ STUCCO VENEZIANO 500 ALLA CALCE & ROCOCÒ STUCCO VENEZIANO 800

ROCOCÒ STUCCO VENEZIANO 500 ALLA CALCE is a mineral-based wall coating with outstanding breathability which is ideal for decorating interiors and particularly suitable for settings where the idea is to recreate or play up historical appeal or give an area an artistic vibe.

It has a glossy surface and compared to similar products, it gives excellent coverage (4/5 sq.m./L. can be obtained with two coats of product applied to a smooth surface) and once it has completely hardened, a breathable film develops which provides good resistance to knocks and normal abrasion.

Environment performance

• It does not contain harmful substances (PAH APEO or Ammonia)

• It is formaldehyde-free

• It is VOC-LOW, meaning that it has very few volatile organic compounds which are thought to cause a certain type of air pollution and to be harmful for human health

Surface preparation

NEW SURFACES

• Use a filler to adequately repair the surface to be decorated;
• Once it has dried, sand the surface and apply a coat of Primer 1200 diluted 15-20% with water;
• After about 4 hours at a temperature of around 20°, go ahead and apply Rococò Stucco Veneziano 500 alla calce.

OLD SURFACES

• remove old peeling or badly-adhering paint and wash using a suitable soap product;
• next, apply a coat of Primer 1200 diluted 50% with water to act as a fixative;
• after about 4 hours at a temperature of 20°, apply a second coat of Primer 1200 (this time diluted 20/30% with water); should the surfaces be in a good condition and not flaking, a single coat of Primer 1200 in the same dilution ratio should be sufficient;
• after 4 hours have elapsed, apply Rococò Stucco Veneziano 500 alla calce

Application cycle

• Apply the product using a Stainless-Steel Trowel, working to obtain a smooth surface
• After 8 hours at 20°, sand the surface well
• Continue applying the product with random strokes as takes your fancy
• Wait for one hour, then repeat the same process to cover the first coat of product.

If you want a shiny surface, you can energetically burnish the plaster with a spatula or the trowel, depending on the desired effect.

Otherwise, you can burnish the surface with Carta Microfine 2000 with a circular motion, applying constant pressure.

If you want to provide the decorative effect with greater protection and make it semi-washable, the Cera Lucidante 370 or 420 must be applied according to the instructions on the technical data sheet.
