• Make sure your walls don't suffer from uneven suction (often the case when repairs have been made). In case of doubt apply a coat ofour stainblocking primer;
• Apply a coat ofVintage chalk paint in the same colour as your Volterra colourand let dry for 3-4 hours. With this preparation your Volterra finish will be at its best;
• After the coat of Vintage chalk painthas thoroughly dried, start applying a coat of Volterra. You will experience Volterra is heavy-bodied and therefore you would need a sturdy brush;
• If you feel Volterra is too heavy to apply, you may dilute the paint with max 10 % water to make it more workable OR;
• Apply with astainless steel trowel. This requires a bit of exercise but you will be more in control; Once Volterra starts drying, you will notice when lighter patches appear, smoothen with the trowel. This is the stage when you create texture. The more you smoothen, the more texture will appear; Let Volterra dry for at least 4 hours. Volterra dries lighter than when wet applied;
• Optionally, apply a coat ofEco-Sealer after Volterra has thoroughly dried. Volterra offers protection against stains without losing permeability and adds even more depth of texture;
• Coverage Volterra, when applied by brush, is app. 10 m2 per 2,5L Volterra tin. When applied by trowel, coverage is app 15 m2 per 2,5L Volterra tin
