BEES WAX - Does the bees wax need to be put on regularly. I never seen this technique before. Looks beautiful. What is the maintenance for this?

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I have walls with Venetian plaster at home which were done 5 years ago and I never added more wax since I made them. However, maybe every 2-3 years in case you see it fading. Sun exposure will accelerate the process for sure.

would it not be recommended to place a clear coat epoxy over this to really protect it?

@venetianplaster 11 ай бұрын

Yes, but so far all the epoxy sealers that I tried “burn” the product and makes them “dull” , happy for you to share your experience 👍

I like to paint with laquer like holland lac and something automotive on doors and furniture. Id like to try this but I have no idea where to start. Is the trowel just to spread it out evenly and flush or to create dimension by going different directions? Id love to do my dining room walls in white pearl effect. What all would I need to order and do you have a basic step by step directions for beginners?

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. The trowel is the tool to use for this product and finish. You will need to keep it very clean and with sharp edges so you don't get scratches while applying the stucco. (work with very little product to start with) The movement you use on application, will show on the last coat, after the burnishing step. Try to keep the same pattern over the whole area/wall Look online where is the best place to get Venetian Plaster next to you, I would get a 4kg to start practicing. You can always play with a piece of wood or plasterboard first. You'll need: primer with grit Venetian plaster Bee's wax or Carnauba wax Thanks

For wax, do you first add it with sponge, then water and stainless steel trowel and then wipe of with a cloth?

Apply wax with sponge, troweled in and wipe off the excess, buffer or polished once is fully dry for better reflection. No water. Thanks for your comment.

Could this be done on kitchen counters? If so, would you seal it with polyurethane or beeswax? I'm wanting to try this but I'm afraid frequent cleaning would cause issues if I used beeswax.

Hi Hailey, thanks for your comment. No, I would not use this finish for a kitchen. The abrassives cleaning products would damage the wax and then the actual product. For kitchens benches you should use a water-base polyurethane sealer. However, marmorino stucco plaster (likes this table) “burns” and fades with the polyurethane sealer. So you are better off trying Microcement which can handle everything, its even design for floors. Hope it helps! Thanks for your support 👍

how long does it take to fully cure once finished?

@venetianplaster Жыл бұрын

Hi there, depending on weather conditions. For a normal 50-60% humidity at 20-30 degrees it takes a couple of days. However, once the wax is applied its ready to me touched 😉👍

I want to do something similar. How durable is it?

@venetianplaster Жыл бұрын

Hi there, that depends on what kind of use it's going to get. In my case is just the occasional coffee and some food (maybe used twice a month) and it is lasting pretty good. It is also seating outside under a terrace with all the weather and moisture levels changing.

How does it not scratch!!!!?

@venetianplaster Жыл бұрын

When not look after it will scratch like any other table. However, once fully cured its very tough.

Is this waterproof if so.. what did you coat it with?

@venetianplaster Жыл бұрын

@@jaythebarbarian5220 No, it is not waterproof. However, it is water resistance with the coat of Bee’s Wax as a sealer. The table is placed undercover 👍
