All old crumbling or unstable coatings must be completely removed.
2. Application of a contact primer to strengthen the base, for better adhesion and to ensure a more stable surface for subsequent coatings.
3. Leveling with fine polymer putty, if necessary. In case of irregularities, cracks or other defects on the surface after priming, they must be filled and leveled to achieve an even and smooth surface. On smooth surfaces, it can be applied without putty, the consumption increases but the use of putty is saved.
4. Sanding the putty to obtain a smooth coating. After the putty is completely dry, the surface is sanded with suitable sandpaper or a grinder. The sanding dust must be removed.

APPLICATION
Stir well before use until a homogeneous mixture. The ready-to-use product is applied without dilution. The decorative plaster is applied in at least two layers on a primed
surface. It is applied with a trowel or spatula. The interval between layers must be at least 6 hours. When applying the second layer, the desired patterns and effects are given with tools such as a trowel, sponge, comb, etc. When applying a second layer on a wet base, the decorative effects are created mainly with a "grass" type trowel, but it can also be done with a standard trowel. After shaping the patterns, while the surface is half-dry, it is smoothed with a trowel. With a completely dry layer, the effect is not obtained and slight moistening is necessary. After shaping the pattern and its complete drying, a finishing color is applied - matte or satin, with varying degrees of gloss and in different colors. The main color can be emphasized by wiping with a wet sponge, which produces dark and light shades. When applying an additional color, a wiping technique can also be applied, which gives light and dark shades.
