Thank you for posting DIY about the plaster. I needed your tips, had to apply plaster by myself.
Had a challenge with the primer. I used synthetic roller which didn’t live that rough surface and I was short on primer. Had to apply second coat with another roller still it was too smooth. It seams it has to be rolled several times over the same spot to make it rough . Maybe you can post videos on it. Thank you again. Blessings
Were you using quartz primer? If not, the surface is probably always going to be relatively smooth as most paint is made to go on smoothly. Quartz primer has fine aggregate in it, sorta like a fine sandpaper, so it doesn't necessary add any texture but it adds a grit to the wall that the plaster can latch on it. If you have more information on what you are dealing with, I'd be happy to chat further.
It can be touch up after the sealer soup aplicación ?
What would you recommend for venetian plaster as a backsplash? We have read water based sealer... acrylic sealer or something would be suitable.
Firenzecolor has a Wall2Floor system that is good for high level water areas. This might be something you look into. If you don't want to do the complete system, I believe you can use the sealers from that system over your plaster to get a similar waterproofness. Feel free to use our code AFIA10 for 10% off if you decide to order from them. It also might be worth sending them an email to discuss your exact project needs.
What's the difference between this and Cera wax? And do you recommend one over the other? Thanks for your video!
With cera wax, you’ll be able to get a high amount of shine. So, that would be great to use over a shiny Venetian plaster like grassello fino to retain the appearance. Protection soap, gives you a less shiney look and is better suited to matte/satin Venetian plaster in my experience. That being said, you can totally use either in both cases depending on the look you want. Does this answer your question?
@@AlongForItAll Thank you very much!
So I have this behind my kitchen units, the decorator never finished the job. So at the moment it’s got daily cooking stains and just feels quite chalky... How can I rectify this without a lot of effort! (I’m in the U.K.. if you could recommend any products, it would be really appreciated)!
If you are happy with the current look of the application, you might just need to seal the product. I would look for a Venetian plaster sealer to protect the plaster. This will also give you a nicer, chalk free finish. There are tons of different types of selaers and I'm not sure what is available in the UK but all the Novacolor products are awesome so I would start there. Hope this helps!
How long do you need to wait after plastering to apply the sealer?
It's good to wait till the final coat is fully dry. Dry time all depends on your specific location and the temperature but once it's dry, you should apply your sealer. It's usually best to do this as soon as you can after your plaster is dry.
Only by trowel it can be applied?
You could apply it other ways. The main reason for the trowel is that it allows you to apply it relatively thin so you don’t have to buff so much product off your wallZ
Can it be touch up after the soup aplicación ?
Yes, but you’d want to sand the area a bit in order to make a repair then reapply soap. Does that answer your question?
Wow
👍
Much better to add beeswax. The Marseille Soap acts much like borax and emulsifies the beeswax in some water and then mixed thoroughly preferably with an electric whisk and there you have it - Cara del Vecchio
Never tried adding beeswax but thanks for sharing.
@@AlongForItAll 300g soap and 60g white beeswax so 20% works beautifully. Grate the soap in, add the wax, and add water to cover. Simmer and when low hot, not hot, whisk in. Takes a little time. Allow to cool a little, top up with water and repeat, whisk until the wax and soap have homogenised. A wonderful material to work with.
@@smartviewer2004 The wax is part of the soap "polish" and hardens off over the plaster. There would be no reaction at all is my guess but I have never tried it. But to soften the wax, one would need to expose it to direct heat and serious heat at that, like an iron for example. Next to a wood stove = not a problem at all. Remember the wax layer is very thin. it is not like putting a candle in front of a stove and seeing it slowly turn downwards as it can no sustain its rigidity. And even then, it does not actually melt to liquid - unless it is touching the stove/burner.
