Water based liquid beeswax plaster wax, add shine and protection to all your Marmorino plaster and Venetian stucco finishes with this easy to apply liquid wax. Acting as a protective barrier for dirt and dust as opposed to moisture on polished stucco finishes, wax application is used on authentic Marmorino and also for the Veiled finish on the Pitted Terra Grosso.
Liquid Beeswax Application:
When the Marmorino Veneziano finish has dried over night or two days you can begin with the beeswax application. Follow the same pattern as when applying the polished stucco from left to right / top to bottom covering about 8-9 square feet at a time. You must work the wax into the surface and wipe any excess fluid off when no more will penetrate the surface. Move on to the next section. Allow it to dry fully again preferably over night and then buff with soft batting or a clean soft cloth.
Color washes:
Liquid beeswax can also be used as a color wash by adding some pigments. This can be very useful if a particular finish looks too wild on the surface. By adding some of the same colorant used in the plaster it will clam everything down a little.
It is also what we use for giving the Velato or Veiled look on top of our Terra Grosso and other finishes.
