The technology of Venetian plaster

Venetian decorative plaster application technology The process is not complicated, but responsible. It is important to consider the basis of application and choose the right material. After all, there are several types of Venetian plaster and they are excellent in their indicators and characteristics. Today we will talk about this topic and you can do it yourself, then the final price will not be large.

Properties and Types

The Venetian mixture at the moment is natural and synthetic. To create an artistic decoration, for complex drawings, it is necessary to use technology with styling from five to six layers. For these purposes, a natural solution based on lime is used, masters using such plaster can create real masterpieces.

• The synthetic mixture is quite simple to process, to work with it you do not need special skills, but texture can be achieved in two layers. Therefore, if you decide to do it yourself, the mixture with a chemical base will be the best option for inexperienced builders;
• The Venetian mixture differs in species, whose composition includes various particle sizes. A prerequisite for the good properties of such finishes is ductility, adhesiveness and strength;
• Finishing is divided according to external indicators: smooth, embossed, artistic;
• The smooth composition consists of marble dust, and lime is used as a binder. To work with such a composition is quite problematic, because the color can be light, and areas of a darker shade can appear on the walls.

Attention: Unlike a smooth, embossed type of plaster surface adds some old-fashioned effect and the composition contains marble granules up to two millimeters.

Venetian coating rules

Video Venetian plaster application technology will show you the main points of applying this material. You can also see a lot from the photo. In this matter, the main thing is not to rush and do the work in turn, the instruction below will determine this sequence.

Tools

Decorative Venetian plaster application technology involves the use of certain tools. After all, it is necessary not only to apply the material to the plane, but also to make the desired relief. If you have artistic skills, and you have studied the video that tells about the application of Venetian plaster, you have a desire to try your own strength in this way, do not forget that you will need special tools.

For instance:

• Steel graters (they will be required for mashing and leveling the composition) with a width of twenty and twenty-five centimeters;
• Special spatulas. Their distinctive feature is the round edges and almost polished surface, without any scratches and nicks. Two spatulas will also be required;
• Brushes of several forms: paint brush and bowler and flat fleitz brush. The first can be round, oval or rectangular, and it is a bit like a brush. Moklovitsa should have a thick stubble.
• You will also need a level, tape measure, a ruler of metal. It will also require a grinding grater, with a fine sandpaper.

Preparation work

The technology for applying the Venetian video plaster involves quite scrupulous and thorough work on preparing the surface. Only in this case, the Venetian will delight you with its beauty, as well as its operational qualities - practicality and long service life.

Apply base to the base plane

• Some types of plaster are not too demanding on the base and even allow you to remove minor errors - cracks, chips, minor irregularities. The Venetian, alas, like an aristocrat among finishing materials, will not tolerate such an attitude to the stage of preparation. The main one for it may be drywall, concrete, brickwork, but all this should be meticulously cleaned of dirt and dust, old paint, and also pieces of plaster (seeHow to clean the wall of plaster without problems);
• Thoroughly repair cracks, chips, and other flaws. For drywall sheets, all joints must be processed. After that, we polish the patched areas. Be patient, because this is only the beginning of the whole process.
• As soon as you have processed the walls and visible defects have been eliminated, we carry out the initial continuous putty. As soon as the layer dries, we polish the surface with pumice or plaster. Now you can blow air through the walls or walk around with rags to remove particles. After these manipulations, the surface should be primed, because it is thus easier to subject to further processing;
• The next step is again, yes, putty and sanding - these manipulations will help get rid of scratches and roughness. Now again the primer (seeWhy do we need a primer: technological nuances of finishing work) If the walls are in too poor condition, then a solid putty can be carried out even several times. Finishing putty should be very high quality, and extreme sanding is carried out with the help of a “null” sandpaper with further dust removal with a simple cloth.

Preparatory work will take a lot of time. In addition to laboriousness and laboriousness, such work is of sufficient duration, because after applying each layer, you must wait until everything dries.

Note: Each of the layers will dry for about a day. If the room has a low temperature, or high humidity, then this may take more time.

Finally, our walls became smooth and even. Now for the last time we cover the surface with a deep penetration primer. Its type must fully correspond to the putty material that they are sold in the kit. After priming, we again wait for drying. Now, finally, it's time to start creating.

Choose color

Before starting work, all the upper parts of the walls must be glued with masking tape.

Attention: During work with the Venetian, this cattle will have to be removed immediately after completion of work, it is not necessary to give until the material dries completely. Otherwise, when removed, chips and cracks may appear that will not look attractive.

• If the putty mass for this material is not tinted, then it is worth adding the right amount of dye and mix well. When choosing a shade, it is necessary to take into account that the finished Venetian usually turns out to be a bit more confined and darker than on a trial piece of material or in catalogs.
• For a living space, it is better to refuse to use too bright tones, stop on the bed tons. The plaster mass and colorants must be of the same brand, because otherwise they will not be combined according to their characteristics.

Application Technique

Venetian plaster technology for applying on a large plane involves applying the material in separate parts. Then it will be necessary to break the plane into sections.If the area is not large, then the application is done immediately and taking into account the drawing.

Application of Venetian plaster with a spatula

• The first layer will be considered the base, but should apply a continuous and will set the tone for the further color of the surface. During operation, it is necessary to use a trowel, on which the mass is applied using a spatula. If you carefully looked at the material on the technology of applying the Venetian, you should have seen that the movements of the tool should be rounded and short;
• We adhere to the general trajectory of movement - from left to right. And whether the mass will be applied from top to bottom or vice versa - it does not matter, here you can do as you want;
• We apply a thin layer of material, without waiting for it to dry, distribute with a spatula, in different directions, avoiding sharp joints in straight lines;
• The spatula should be firmly pressed against the wall, the angle of inclination should be fifteen to twenty degrees with respect to the surface. It is this method of applying Venetian plaster that will make it possible to obtain streaks that ultimately make the surface look like natural stone;
• It will take about four to eight hours to dry the first layer, everything will depend on the brand of mass used. Further work usually continues after a day;
• The next layer should be applied in torn short movements, and immediately overwrite everything with a spatula. The movements should be smooth, overlapping each other. Moving in one direction, material is applied, moving in the other - excess is removed.
• A similar technique for applying the solution is called a butterfly. As a result of such actions, the relief of the base layer disappears, and streaks begin to appear on the surface. Their size will depend on the method of applying the layer. Experienced professionals can carry out work in a different manner, while creating a wide variety of drawings;
• As soon as the decorative layer is completely dry, sand the surface with sandpaper. To visually enhance the effect of the depth of the Venetian and her inner glow, more intermediate layers are carried out, whose total number can reach nine.

Create a shade:

• We color the mixture. The initial primer should be applied evenly over the entire surface and be the base that will provide the overall background. We leave it for several hours, after which we pick up the skin-nulevka and remove the dust;
• The next layer of plaster with your own hands is applied by chaotic movements in different directions. It is always worth removing the excess mixture from the edges of the tool, dried particles of the material can ruin the final result;
• The third layer helps to create the necessary texture. Layering with a brushstroke helps form a specific pattern. To achieve the required gloss, the coating is often ground with a spatula with a pressure almost parallel to the wall surface. Applied plaster on its own will dry for about a day if the room has normal humidity and optimal temperature conditions.

Note: The secret of the coating is that the glossy surface appears due to the special composition of the mixture, which is applied to several main layers. A variety of textures and patterns can be obtained by varying the technique of movement, effort and size when pressed. The process of polymerization and carbonization strengthens the upper facing layer.

Shine

As soon as the last coat was applied, it was time to give the Venetian stucco water resistance and increase the gloss.

Stucco Venetian Waxing Technology

• To do this, the surface is polished with wax. This work should be carried out no earlier than a week after applying the finishing layer.
• In addition to a simple transparent composition for plaster, you can opt for a coating with an additional effect.In this case, the wall will acquire silver, gold or pearl veins.
• We apply liquid wax using a special glove, after it we finally polish the wall with a grinder.
