Modern Masters Venetian
Plaster is a tintable acrylic plaster finishing system that can develop a
beautiful, high polished appearance. The applicator can control the sheen level
of the finish simply by sanding and burnishing the plaster. Various looks can
be created such as polished marble, stone and suede.
This
high polish isn't the only unique quality; the more you polish the more
translucent the finish becomes. This translucency creates the depth seen in
real marble and the beautiful finish is so smooth, it even feels like marble.
In fact, Venetian Plaster was formulated to imitate a complicated "Old World"
Italian technique called Scagliola used for centuries to create the look of
marble on areas where marble could not be installed.
What makes this product the best on the
market? Ease of application. The first coat is rolled onto any
surface that will accept latex paints.Roll it on, knock it down with a steel
putty knife. Open time. Applicators have ability to work the product
and remove imperfections before burnishing. In fact, burnishing can be done
anytime after the produc has dried. Because it has acrylic resins, burnishing
will become more difficult as days pass by.
Flexibility - the
product will not crack if the wall flexes.
Decorating Options -
Venetian plaster can be left untouched for a rough adobe look, burnished for a
cut stone appearance or sanded to a high sheen for a formal polished marble
effect. |

When applying the
Venetian plaster, the first coat is the texture coat. The first coat may be
rolled on, but flatten down the roller stipple by dragging the putty knife
lightly across the surface in random directions. If you drag out any pills,
pick them out and fill the scrape by applying plaster to the wall using the
flat of the blade.
For the second layer use the flat side of your
spatula/putty knife to apply the product avoiding the edge of the knife. After
the plaster goes on to the wall drag the edge across the surface to remove
excess material. The second coat is to fill in the texture and smooth the
surface as much as possible. The smoother the surface you end up with after
knifing, the easier it is to polish.
After the second coat is dry, use
the flat edge of your spatula to begin the burnishing process. The surface will
begin to show color variations as it becomes smoother. For higher polishing,
use 400 grit sandpaper, dry. A power sander may be used but be careful to keep
the paper clean and changed often to avoid swirly marks. Wipe the excess dust
off the surface when finished.
Want a shinier finish? Use coarse paper
like a grocery store paper bag. Use the unprinted side to buff you venetian
plaster to a super high shine.
