Venetian Plaster Polishing Veneciano Tips

Back Next


Polishing Marmorino:

Tired of endless burnishing?..Wrists hurt? Tennis elbow acting up? Rotator cuff swollen? These Venetian plaster finishes can be labor intensive.

Try this: When polishing up a Marmorino or other lime based polished plaster finish, first give the surface a quick sand with 600 grit sandpaper. This can be purchased at most major hardware stores. But the real tip is… (drum roll please...) Give a second sand with 2000 (yes, 2000) grit sandpaper. This can be purchased from an auto paint supply shop. Put it on a nice palm sander, give it some 'decent' pressure, and watch that high shine appear!! You'll be able to see yourself, which may or may not be a good thing.

Want to learn much, much more? Dozens of invaluable tips like this one are taught at our decorative finishing school. Check out our Architectural Wall Finishing and other classes.
