To fill in nail holes, the best thing to do is to get a matching plaster. If they are small you could probably get away with some putty and a paint match. Let me know if this helps.
Hi, thanks for making this video. ! It's not uncommon for Vienna plaster to stain when it comes into contact with oil or lotion. Do you have some tips for touching up?
Without seeing it, it's hard to know exactly. My suggestion though would be to sand the area down a bit and apply more plaster over the top. This can be a tricky thing to do in order to get it to blend in with the old stuff. As always, I recommend sealing your plaster as plaster is porous. This will help avoid stains.
Hi- great video - I did my walls years ago and needed a refresher on the technique. I have several hairline cracks (old house- figure it’s from settling)- how do you recommend repairing? Thank you!
I always recommend priming. It might not be 100% necessary over plasterboard, but if you have taped seams, you'll want to prime over that so your compound doesn't re-activate while applying plaster. Again, I always recommend primer. It sets you up for better success.
Hi. I have started doing venetian plaster and sometimes it blisters/peels off. Ive done a few walls, they look good but they aren't perfect. I use lyme base plaster. Do you know what are the causes of blistering?
Too much compression is usually the answer. Different products need to be applied at different thicknesses so make sure you’re not applying it too tight. Hope this helps.
i have a 108 year old house and it is all covered in hydrolic lime. What would I prime it with to get it ready for venetian plaster? I have to repair some the existing venetian plaster and I want to practice on a wall that doesnt have it first. It looks to me like there was just lime plaster under the venetian plaster (which has a high shine and incredibly hard)
Usually lime is a good substrate for lime based plaster so in theory, a light sanding might be all you have to do. Otherwise, using a quartz primer to add grit back onto the surface might be a good option. Or you can do both. Obviously your situation is going to be unique to you so I always recommend trying a small area if you are unsure.
Is any wall really as smooth to begin with as a MDF board ---The question is older house drywall with the usual orange peel wall would you need to smoothwall plaster to make it smooth enough to use this product? How smooth is smooth?
Similar techniques could be used for micro cement. If you don’t need the strength of cement but want a similar look, I like getting Venetian plaster and tinting it grey. It gives a really nice look but looks like cement.
@@alloy2005 If you are looking to use plaster in a shower area, I recommend checking out the Wall2Floor system. This will provide the strength and waterproof you are looking for while maintaining a plastered look. bit.ly/wall-2-floor
Depends on the thickness of plaster but typically you want your wall smooth. For thicker/courser venetain palsters, you can obviously get away with a less smooth wall. That being said, I've never been mad about making sure my walls are smooth, only the opposite.
Great video! The one thing I wouldn’t agree - even though you are beginner invest in your tools. It will make your work so much easier and enjoyable, it will make the result of your work so much better and it will save you money in long term. Especially you don’t have to spend thousands on equipment, just get at least those 3 mentioned in the video- application trowel, burnishing trowel and a scraper.
Thank you for this! I built a range hood cover out of plywood and want to cover it in venetian plaster. Do you have a video on how to prep wood for plaster or could you give some guidance?
Awesome! That sounds like a fun project. I don't have a specific video on that but what I'd do for that is first prime it with a standard paint primer. That will lock in any wood tannins, if any. Then I'd plan to go over that with a quartz primer. That will add a bit of grit to the wall, sorta like sand paper, which will help your Venetian plaster adhere to the wall. This is exactly the method I use for a kitchen plaster project we did here if you want to check it out. ua-cam.com/video/MxeYSupK1zM/v-deo.html
Yes, that was pretty vague. What I was asking is, can you use for instance, joint compound added to your paint to achieve a similar look? It's really the look I'm after without all the intensive labour.
@stormcloud7137 it definitely won’t have the same look as this. If you are purely looking for texture on a wall then you probably could but it won’t look nearly as nice.
Yes! I don’t see why not. If the plaster doesn’t have a sealer on it, you could go right over the top, otherwise you’ll want to apply a primer or sand the wall slightly.
Depends on what type of look you want. Usually grassello is done as a smooth shiny coat, so in that case you’d want to make sure you are applying it smooth. There will always be some movement from the trowel so don’t get too caught up with it being completely perfect. That’s what will give it it’s plaster look!
@@AlongForItAll One more question: Customer doesn’t like the color of the plaster and the final coat is already painted. Can you redo it with another plaster with different color? Do second final coat on top of it… 😓
We get the primer from Frienzecolor as well. When we order our plaster, we usually get it pre-tinted by them so we don't have to try to custom mix our own colors. Hopefully that answers your question.
Yes, you can do your celling with Venetian plaster. You'll need to prep the celling the same way you do any other wall before applying. To make it look like marble, you'll want to use a fine Venetian plaster like Grassello Fino which you can find here - bit.ly/grassello-fino . To add veins to look like marble, you'll need to get multiple colors and use a brush or small trowel. This method is very artistic and can take some practice so my recommendation would be to practice on some boards first so you are comfortable and are happy with the look first.
Sure! You'll definitely want to apply a primer just to give it a good surface and make sure the wood tannins don't come through the plaster. Might even apply a couple coats depending on the type of wood. If the wood has any grain to it, you'll also want to smooth those out before hand so the grain doesn't translate through the plaster. If you are using a thicker plaster, this might not be as necessary though. Hope this helps.
If you only do one coat, it won't have that layered movement look of venetian plaster. The second coat also gets compressed into the first coat, closing a lot of the pores of the first coat. This allows the finish to look really nice and clean vs rough. You could definitely apply a single coat if you like the look, but traditionally venetian plaster is a layered process.
When adding the pigment to the Venetian Plaster Puty, what is the recommended consistency to mix the pigment and what is the % ratio of pigment per kg of Plaster Puty? THANKS
Depends on the room temp and humidity. If you have the time, I often leave the first coat to dry overnight. If you don't want to wait you can set up some fans and dry it off quicker. Unfortunately theres not an exact dry time I can give you.
Depending on how thick of a plaster you use, it will be totally fine. If you use a thinner/shiny Venetian plaster, you will see the texture from the surface below.
On the website linked in this video, I have no idea what all the different types of VP listed mean….is there a Venetian Plaster for dummies somewhere that explains what the differences between all of these products are???
There are a lot of products thats are good for difference application. Our favorite is marmorino KS. If you want a shiney look you can look for grassello fino. It all depends on the look you want. Feel free to explain more and I can try to point you in the right direction.
Take a class, real venetian plaster is harder than it looks in the video. There are lots of hand techniques and movements that you'll learn in a class (hands on) and constant practice.
Yes, you can definitely over burnish. You can burnish good Venetian plaster pretty far, but still wouldn't recommend it. If you want sharp outside corners, just scraping with a putty knife works well to maintain the edge. If you want it rounded, getting a plastic bullnose tool is probably your best bet.
@@AlongForItAll after I burnish, I notice a few corners that aren’t very crisp. Can you just smear some plaster on, let it dry and then sand to form a crisp edge?
If you've already burnished, it might be good to lightly sand the plaster to open it back up a bit then work on redoing the edge. Often times what I'd do, is make sure I have a decent edge on the first coat. If not, I work on fixing that edge and then sand it down prior to my second coat and burnish after that.
Every plaster has a different coverage rate. If you look at details of the plaster, they’ll tell you the coverage rate. For example, this plaster has a coverage rate of 8-10sqf per kilo for a two coat process.
Alright. Got Modern Masters plaster (not sure if you’ve used), followed a brand/tinting tutorial I found elsewhere. I “finished” 3 days ago, 2 coats, on a plain white wall. The intended color and color in the bucket and tools is very light, almost an off white. The color on the wall, 3 days later is very warm and looks like Grey Poupon. Doesn’t seem prematurely burnished as there’s zero shine (didn’t want shine). I have not sealed yet as I wanted to make sure it was fully dry but, why is it that color?? We also did a mantel like yours from the fireplace video (thanks for the inspo) but more so just layered it on, didn’t care so much to have a certain finish outside of it being uniform and that color is a 10/10. Do you think the dark wall just needs more drying time? Thanks!
It’s hard to know without being there to see. Typically plaster will go one darker when it’s wet and dry lighter. If you noticed a general lightening up, then it’s probably the color it’s going to be. Hope this helps.
What if I have already painted 2-3 coats of normal paint and then decided to do Venetian plaster on it? Would I have to prime the wall? Awesome video. Thanks
Your base coat can be the same venetian plaster you use for your top coat. Usually you do 2 coats for thicker plasters and 3 coats for thinner. This gives it that nice movement look.
There is plaster that can be used in showers so it is possible. If you are interested in using plaster in areas that are constantly getting wet, check out the Wall2Floor system Firenzecolor offers.
I used the same color for both coats. That is the standard way to apply. You can use two colors to produce interesting effects but that would not be the standard way to apply.
I am wanting to find a way to have different colours showing through top coats as though it's years old and has had a lot of paint used on it. Some old plaster walls can look like that and I really like that look.@@AlongForItAll
Thank you so much for all the detail- most videos I found were very basic and quick which left me a little lost. Appreciate the time you took to be specific! I tried to buy Venetian plaster from Sherwin Williams and the manager just gave me the name of their vendor. I bought a gallon to test it out, however it’s not tinted. Do you suggest taking it to them for tinting? Does the company you purchase from tint before they ship to you?
I've never tried Sherwin Williams plaster. I assume it's probably not the best product. We like using the Novacolor products that Frienzecolor sells here in the USA. You can check the links in the description if you are interested. We like getting it pre-tinted that way their color specialist can match to a specific color.
I haven’t personally run into any flaking. It could be the type of plaster you used or that you were burnishing too hard. Do you know what plaster you were using?
Correct. Make sure your wall is smooth so you don't waste your plaster filling in holes. You also don't want that texture to show through on your final coat.
chatter marks and inconsistent hand as evidenced by the very dark areas. If I could get a better look I'll bet there were small scratch like marks because your plaster looked a little old, used and dryish after so many passes and scraping it back to trowel. And this was only a small sample board. I hate to see what a cock up a large wall would look like. VP is relatively expensive so you really should do a better job.

A quick question
When I started burnishing plaster started flaking off in a few spots.

I haven’t personally run into any flaking. It could be the type of plaster you used or that you were burnishing too hard. Do you know what plaster you were using?
Why is my plaster drys

Is it old? Maybe it needs a remixing.
