Application

STUC ACRYLIQUE Venetian stucco is generally applied in 3 coats but 2 coats may be sufficient in case of very smooth surfaces. If you apply in 2 coats, begin by the point 2.
1) Apply a first coat to cover the surface. Scrape closely to leave a thin coat. After drying (few hours), sand imperfections with n°100 or 120 sandpaper. Then remove all sanding dust.
2) Apply a second very thin coat so as to obtain the smoothest possible finish. After drying (few hours), sand imperfections with n°320 or 400 sandpaper.
3) Finish by the decorative coat , applying extremely thin layers, in natural patter. This can be achieved by rotating the wrist, varying the shape and size of the layers. And polish it before it dries completely so as to obtain the nuanced and shiny stucco effect .
Several colors may be superposed or alternated during the final coat to obtain a unique, personalized finish.
