Decorative plaster for stone effect by Polidori Barbera design
STONE by Polidori.Barbera design is a pre-blended plaster made of water dispersible acrylic resin, micronized inert charges, light stable pigments and specific additives.
Recommended for fine decoration of interior walls.
The action of time forges a material of solemn impact, in which the mystical energy of millennial emotions survives.
Paradigm of pure forms and geometrical identities. Natural harmony of neutral places where space is just a balanced concentration of lights and shadows.
Stone brings about a virtuous and peaceful feel. Its expanse conveys the unique experience of eternal beauty.
Method of application
Base Coat
• after the wall preparation, apply a priming undercoat of VIEROQUARTZ thinned 1:1 in water in the same colour of STONE. The use of VIEROQUARTZ as a base coat gives an initial coloured covering and protection and facilitates the application of the coating.
Steel trowel + foam roller + steel spatula
When VIEROQUARTZ is completely dry, apply a uniform layer of STONE with a small stainless steel trowel all over the surface as base coat
Once the first coat is dry, apply with the same tool a consistent layer about 3mm thick of STONE to the wall
While the material is still wet, roll over the surface vertically and horizontally with a foam roller. Stipple the product
inside the corners and along the edges to achieve an even and consistent coat thickness. Give the last roll always
vertically in the same direction to achieve a regular stipple
As soon as the plaster is no longer tacky to the touch work across vertically the surface with a blade of stainless steel
trowel in a quick sweeping action to smooth the surface
When the surface is completely dry (12-24 hours) burnish the wall with a soft stainless steel spatula
Wax application
STONE can be finished with the application of NATURWAX. The wax penetrates into the plasters pores and seals protect them from unwanted moisture adding protection and enhancing colour and shine.
Apply wax using a clean blade or a dry, clean white cotton cloth, wiping away excess of wax. If the wax is left unworked
on the surface, or is squeezed into the surface with a trowel, the deep penetration can cause dark stains, which cannot
be removed
Wait the first coat of wax until dry and buff it with a dry, clean cotton cloth.
For best result a 2 coats application is necessary.
Practical Advices
For application of STONE we advise a minimum of two people.
One person should apply the product on the wall in areas from top to bottom spreading the product on the wall without interruptions to keep the edges of the areas of product applied always wet. Applying wet material to wet material will result in a beautiful even texture.
A second person should roll the product on the wall following the applicator and smooth the surface when no longer tacky.
