Working Instructions
  1. Clean the surface and remove any loose material, filling in where necessary.
  2. If the surface is dusty or coated with old chalky or flaking paint, apply a coat of Rialto Primer diluted 1:8 with water first.
  3. Apply a coat of Rialto Zip, diluted with 15% water, to ensure an even colour for the first coat.
  4. Apply a coat of Rialto Evolution with a stainless steel trowel, about 0.3mm thick.
  5. Once dry (usually 6 hours), apply a second coat of Rialto Evolution with a trowel or spatula, without polishing.
  6. Apply one or two coats of the metallic stucco using the traditional Venetian spatula technique, allowing 1 hour between coats.
  7. Wipe down with a soft cloth to remove excess material and achieve the desired effect.
  8. Do not apply below 7°C (44°F) or above 30°C (86°F).
  9. Store between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F).
