Step-by-Step Application Guide for Pietra Focata and infinito carrara

Special processes can be carried out to make Infinito Carrara a unique decorative effect, such as for example with PIETRA FOCATA.

To achieve this effect, spread the infinito carrara with a Stilsaw trowel for the thickness and smooth the product when it is still wet working it with the stainless steel trowel, placing the blade flat to create a "natural marble" effect.

Compact the excess ridges without closing the drawing created. Fill the various holes with PIETRA FOCATA to obtain a white colored nuance, or PIETRA FOCATA with the addition of metal powder to obtain metallic nuances;

Let it dry for about 24 hours and sand the wall with a orbital sander with grits (320 - 600 - 800 - 3000 and 6000 trizact) protect with MANTRA PROTEX.
