Venetian Plaster - Traditionally, a multiple layer finish that is burnished to a high sheen & has a glass-like finish that remains
cool to the touch. Mineral content allows for burnishing with a trowel. Venetian Plaster is often coated with
a solvent based wax, hence encaustic waxing. Classic application or trowel techniques vary for different
looks such as Distressed Stucco Antico, Closed Stucco Lustro, Embossed Stucco Lustro.
Traditionally, Venetian plasters
were lighter & more neutral in color. The darker colors were developed more recently for the American market. Classic
applications of Venetian Plaster require that a wall have a grade 5 finish. Venetian Plaster is not an advisable finish
over imperfect walls unless repairs are made.
