Here is a video of Giovanni Polistena, Italian founder of Stucco Italiano, plastering a large surface with Marmorino Classic. The video pays special attention to color mixing, trowel angle, and how to handle corners.
The shiny marble-like finish in this video is similar to the wall Gianni plastered in our studio when he was here teaching a class.
Stucco Italiano is a member of the US Green Building Council. Naturally high in pH, lime finishes act as an anti-bacterial surface, neutralizing the development of organic substances such as mold and fungus.
Non-toxic and green, our lime plasters are ideal for interiors or exteriors. A breathable system, our lime plasters allow water vapor to permeate freely so moisture evaporates quickly, unlike acrylic finishes which can trap moisture inside the wall.
Nice, one thing…. I cant believe you show someone sanding a super sharp edge trowel with their bare hand’s!!! Crazy, dont get the blood on the wall’s…
Just saw Gianni recently – his hands looked fine. Think we need a “don’t try this at home” warning for DIYers?
