3. Applying
Stir the product carefully before use.
One coat application:
Apply a coat of the product homogeneously with a stainless spatula or trowel. Then form the pattern with a spatula, a trowel, a corduroy tool or other decorative tool, depending on the desired pattern. Flatter the surface in 10-20 minutes after stabilizing of moisture. Harden and level the surface with a stainless trowel. When the surface is going to dry it is necessary to continue hardening the coat with a plastic trowel to avoid blackening of the surface.
Double coat application:
Firstly apply a thin coat homogeneously with a stainless spatula or trowel. Apply the second coat of the product with a stainless spatula or trowel after full drying of the first coat. Form the pattern with a spatula, a trowel, a corduroy tool or other decorative tool, depending on the desired pattern. Flatter the surface in 10-20 minutes after stabilizing of moisture. Harden and level the surface with a stainless trowel. When the surface is going to dry it is necessary to continue hardening the coat with a plastic trowel to avoid blackening of the surface.
Perform application at the temperature of air and the surface from +10°С till + 30°С and maximal air humidity of 80%.
Do not apply the product under direct sunlight, strong wind, frost and precipitations. The surfaces shall not suffer from precipitations or subzero temperatures during 24 hours after application.
It is recommended to work in a group of two or three persons, as the work on a single surface shall be performed continuously.
4. Polishing
Treat the surface with an electro-polishing tool for the polish look of the surface when the surface is completely dry and before applying the wax.
Remove the dust thoroughly after polishing (with a vacuum cleaner or compressor).
5. Applying of finishing layer
Decorative coating Travertino can be used as the only coating.
It is recommended to use wax Cera TM Maxima for creating additional decorative effects indoors.
It is recommended to use CeraFrontale TM Maxima to add decorative effect for facades or protect the surfaces with high exploitation load.
Way of application, characteristics and necessary tools for wax are stated in technical data sheets for waxes Cera and CeraFrontale TM Maxima or at our website.
6. Tool cleaning
Wash the tools with water. Don't let it get dry. Parts of rejected product can be removed mechanically.
