Application Tutorial

Perhaps one of the greatest features other than the look and texture of Marmorino is its natural composition which serves many of purposes. (1)The slaked lime binder found in Lime Spatula is a natural disinfectant that bears anti-molding and fungus fighting capabilities. (2)Due to its porous nature, Marmorino can actually breathe. Absorbing humidity and oxygen, Marmorino surfaces provide natural climate controlling aspects not found in any known synthetic paint or wall covering. (3)Marmorino has an amazing hardening effect that attaches to the surface it is applied to with amazing force, making it a durable finish, free of synthetic and environmentally hazardous materials.

Overall, Marmorino is a decorative solution that provides amazing depth and natural color, bringing to life to surfaces with its overlapping transparencies and unique decorating power.

Application Tutorial

Getting Started...
During the application of Marmorino, the eye must learn to be able to recognize the right time for proceeding with subsequent phases. This is especially true during the vitrification process, or compression of the surface. When finishing Marmorino, it is important to imagine the finished work; based on knowing exactly how particular movements with the tool will appear after the application is complete. Through practice and experience, realizing adequate timing and such particular issues becomes mandatory for successful applications of Marmorino. The following demonstration breaks down the basic fundamentals of applying Marmorino. Here it is applied on drywall over a base of Acrylic Fixative.

Preparation
Ideal conditions for applying Marmorino are at room temperatures and over interior walls with perfectly smooth surfaces. Mandatory for a long-lasting guarantee, a thin coat of Acrylic Fixative. is always necessary. Application over standard PVA primers eliminates the ability of Marmorino to breathe, however, for adhering purposes, PVA primers are suitable. For more information on advanced preparation techniques and preparing alternate surfaces such as cement, wood, or even metal, refer to the advanced preparation tutorial.

Step 1.
Apply a medium size amount of Lime Spatula to a stainless steel trowel and work a thin, even layer over the area. When gathering material from the pail, always use fresh and fluid product from the center of the bucket. Covering the container directly after with a wet rag or lid is important. During the first coat, it is a good idea to cut all outlets and special trim work if necessary.

Step 2.
Spread a thin layer evenly onto the substrate, working 4-5 square foot sections at a time. When working with multiple walls in a room, complete a base coat on each section individually before moving to new areas.

Step 3.
When working with Marmorino, be sure to apply a thin amount of product to the wall in a similar and consistent fashion. Using the same movements and timing throughout a project will assist in creating a homogenous effect throughout the entire project.

Step 4.
After a thin, first coat has been applied; you may lightly remove any excess product if the surface is still moist, however, if drying, allow the surface to first dry, and then later remove the unwanted product. The first coat should be extremely thin.

Step 5.
Allow plenty of time for Marmorino to sufficiently dry and harden. The finish will have completely changed color and lightened up to 50% once thoroughly dry. Depending on the porosity of the surface and climate conditions, dry times may vary. Based on a room temperature application with 60% relative humidity, dry times on drywall are at least 15-20minutes, however not ready for new coats until at least 1 hour after the surface has appeared to be physically dry.
