Preparation of the Substrate:
1. Make sure that the surface is clean and dry, free of dust, oil, laitance, pain, curing compounds, and other contaminants such as algae and mildew.
2. Scrape off any cement residue and loose material, and sand away rough edges for a smooth surface.
3. Surface must be cured for 28 days (or 5-7 days skimcoat preparation) before application.
Product Application Proceedure:
Step 1: Apply one (1) coat of Wall Art™ DecoPrime™ using a roller. Let dry for 8 hours.
Step 2: Apply one (1) coat of Wall Art™ Classico™ using splatter brush to make diagonal strokes. Quickly work on areas of 30cm² at a time with consistently-angled strokes, feathering and overlapping edges so that brush restarts are not visible. On the edges, apply a straight continous stroke. Let dry for at least 8 hours.
Step 3: Polish the surface with a stainless steel spatula or trowel for the texture to emerge. This method darkens the textured brush strokes, giving the surface a tone-on-tone contrast effect. Regulate the force adn pressure to avoid scratching or damaging the textured surface.
