Working Instructions

Clean the surface and remove any loose material.
If dusty or coated in old chalky/flaking paint, apply Rialto Primer diluted 1:6 with water first (or Rialto Primer One diluted 30% on plasterboard).
Apply Rialto Veneziano Sottofondo with a stainless steel trowel.
Leave for at least 24 hours, then sand by hand and remove any imperfections in the basecoat.
Apply Rialto Veneziano with a stainless steel trowel or flexible spatula, following the classical technique for Venetian stuccowork.
For a softer, cloudier (Annuvolato) effect, colour 3 parts Sottofondo with 1 part Veneziano of the same shade before applying the basecoat.
Store between 5°C (41°F) and 40°C (104°F).
