VENETIAN PLASTER TOPCOAT ~ GOLD/ONE QUART

Modern Masters was the first USA manufacturer of acrylic Venetian Plaster, which has been used by professional applicators and do-it-yourselfers on thousands of projects across North America. Venetian Plaster is a finishing technique using thin layers of plaster applied with a spatula or trowel and then burnished to create a smooth surface with the illusion of depth and texture. You can control the sheen level of the finish by simply sanding and burnishing until the desired sheen is obtained. The more you burnish, the more translucent the finish becomes, re-creating the translucency found in real marble. The finish becomes so smooth it even feels like real marble. By varying the color, application technique and the amount of burnishing, other finishes can be created including stone, worn leather and suede.

In fact, Venetian Plaster was formulated to imitate a complicated "Old World" Italian technique called "Scagliola." It has been used for centuries to create the look of marble on areas where marble structurally could not be installed. Scagliola is very time consuming and difficult to apply, but Modern Masters Venetian Plaster requires only 3 EASY STEPS. A beautiful, high polished, marble-like finish can be achieved, but with much less time, effort and cost.

Modern Masters Venetian Plaster Topcoat is used as a protective sealer over a dry Venetian Plaster finish.

High traffic areas where washability is imperative or rooms that experience high humidity, such as bathrooms, should be sealed with Topcoat.

Other protective topcoats cannot be used to protect the Venetian Plaster.
