Natural mineral-based covering posessing excellent transpirability and resistance to atmospheric agents. Recalls the antique effetto Marmorino which means little marble or literally "like marble".

Specifications
Transpiring natural mineral plaster in a base of slacked lime of the highest quality, baked in wood ovens, weathered at length (indispensable to guarantee stability and wear of the product), choice marble granuals and dust, additives, inorganic oxides and natural earth. The use of limestone as a binder confers maximum transpirability, its high basicity prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria and mould, it is highly resistant to light, is non flammable, non-pollutant, and non-toxic and the technique of final polishing of the surface layer makes it non-absorbant to dirt. The “Marble Effect” is semi-gloss that may be accented or cut down by using more or less pressure with the trowel on the last passing.

Where to use
Used mainly as a decorative and protective finish for interior surfaces such as drywall, civil plaster, PVC, old painted surfaces, ect., is also utilized for exterior surfaces with the correct preparation using Basecal or Basecem as a base and highly skilled and specialized applicators.

Application method
Interior Finishes:
the application is advised on plasters with a lime base. In the case of plaster that is in bad condition, the plaster must be removed and replaced with a new lime based one such as a coat of Basecal. On plaster or old paint that is well attached to the support but particulary friable it is advisable to remove it completely and follow with a coat of Fissac diluted correctly. When the support is very dusty or particulary dry, moisten the wall with water before the application.
Internal finishes:
on civil plaster or on old paint as long as they are not crumbling, are in good state and sufficiently rough, apply directly. On surfaces such as: plaster, scagliola, plasterboard or drywall, old crumbling paint it is recommended to give a coat of Basecal. At this point proceed with the application of Marmo Antico Fondo using our stainless steel trowel to apply a coat on the supporting surface, and when it has dried a second coat to level the surface. Leave to dry, then apply Marmo Antico Finitura in two or more coats with our steel plastering trowel or spatuta leaving it to dry between each stage until a perfectly smooth surface is obtained. At this stage on the last layer left to “dry out” slightly, being careful that it does not dry completely but that is not too wet, proceed with the polishing, repassing seceral times with the trowel or spatula on the surface and pressing hard. To give the surface a greater shine, make it more water repellent and compact, after about 2-3 hours, with our steel plastering trowel repassing energitically, apply a layer of Sapone Antico taking care to use a small quantity and do not over apply.
