Thanks a lot for your comment, I truly appreciate it 👍. They are special walls that’s for sure and once you have seen them, you want them 😉. All the best on your next project! Regards from Australia

@@antolinsoldadocamps8396 thanks for your comment! A good start for me is 1ml of tint per 1kg of product for light colours. Easy to keep track this way. In case you want it darker a 5ml/kg would be a good start. I used liquid tints from the paint shop, the same they used to tint acrylic paint. Powder tints tend to not mix properly, then little grains of tint burst when troweling the product onto the wall. It will require a bit of trial and error to achieve the exact colour you want. Good luck and I hope I could be of any help. Thanks again

Thank you, I'll try a couple of different shades. What tint did you use for the wall on this video (graphite?) How much water do you add to 100gr to get a nice consistency?. Last question, how much tint did you add for the wall ont he video? 5ml per kg?

@@antolinsoldadocamps8396 1 or 2ml/kg of black tint. Make sure to mix the product with a proper mixer, it will get a nice consistency to work with, no need to add water at all. Mix again when the product gets a bit hard on the drum. Keep the drum shut at all times to stoped from drying out.

@@venetianplaster thank you. I am a plasterer, started in the UK and now we live in France. I've wanted to do Venetian Plaster for ages and not had the time, now I am making rhe time to teach myself and add it to what I can offer customers. Thank you very much for your time, your videos are great. Keep up the good work 👏 👍👍

Hi there, Around $180-$200 AUD sqm for a clean wall with no corners or niches, easy access, etc.. I hope you liked the video.

This is Marmorino high polished, classic Venetian plaster (stucco) Even though it has some water repellent properties, I would not recommended for a shower wall. Feel free to check my website for more info about products and applications. www.thevenetianplaster.com.au/explained

I will consider this for future videos 😉. Thanks for the input. Cheers

Hello my friend. Thanks for your comment! I used Tadelakt because I like the finish after applying water base polyurethane sealer. I’ve tried marmorino with 2pack sealer but leave strike marks and “burns” the product removing its shine finish. Some people would use different kinds of natural wax to improve water resistance but they don’t last long, with modern shower gels and hair products it damages rather quick, hence-why I chose polyurethane sealer for shower walls 😉. I hope I could help with your question. Have a nice day and thanks again

Hi Saren, thanks for your comment! You are wright and wrong at the same time! 😉 This is not Venetian Plaster, it should be called Moroccan Plaster. However, you are right, this is not the original 10mm thick solid plaster used over timber or river rocks as per ancient times. Now we use plasterboard which is 12mm thick

@@venetianplaster no its not my man, its a venetian plaster tadelakt style. yes this fake tadelakt is hydraulic lime like the orignal, but the orignal doesnt have marble dust and additives mixed to it. no the original is not used over plasterboard or wood. it needs to be a lime render coat and then 8-10mm thick tadelakt on top. The italians and germans jumped on the tadelakt name and called it tadelakt. its nothing in anyway shape or form a representation of the original. what i love about the real is the fissures and little cracks all over the surface and the smooth and beautiful shiny and feels like skin (no marmorino chatter lines or pin holes) surface. Also real tadelakt is a render (almost like a sand and cement weight) consistency a fake is a marmorino consistency (a thin frail lime coats).

Your point is pretty much my point as well. Before I keep writing, I have to say that I am a painter decorator who has used lime base products since 2002. I am not a chemist to know the exact composition of materials but I never said Tadelakt has marble dust in it, that’s Marmorino, Grassello and others high polished finishes. I am an applicator who name the products from what companies name them and follow the instructions. Not many things nowadays are the same as before, not even paint itself. Materials change and improve to adapt to new times and new bulding regulations. I would love to hear where you come from and what’s your knowledge and experience with this products. This is a big community where people can learn and share. No need to get rude with nasty comments if you believe otherwise. Thanks!

Water based polyurethane sealer. 👍

Hi there! Thanks for your comment. I am afraid no, I made a sample out of timber so the client could see the finish product over corners in their house. Thanks for your comment 😉👍

Thanks for your comment mate! I really appreciated. For wet areas make sure to use a polyurethane sealer once you finish the application. Microcement is the best product for it. Also Tadelakt is the natural option for polished plaster. Check on my channel a bathroom reno i did and I show this product and finished. Cheers

@@venetianplaster cheers man. I've only been using marmorino and istinto tbh , im heading up north to go on the Novacolour venetian AND floor to ceiling course which is for the wet areas 🙏 how is paint over plaster board safer than say 3 coats of marmorino with a sealer ?

@@geordie-drywall sorry but I’m not sure I understand your question? Courses are okay, the problem I see is that they don’t teach based on real escenario, like working around power points and tight corners. Instead, they have you on a comfortable position, working on a piece of timber which you can actually move around as you please 😅. Still, is pretty cool to be able to “play” with different tools and products to get a first feeling for them. 👍

Hi mate, Just ask and I can tell you. Where are you located?

@@mimihaus1984 Hi, I am located in Australia and some of the construction suppliers shops sell Venetian plaster. Your best option would be online search in your area. Venetian plaster is known as Marmorino. Is originally from Italy, where you can find many companies which sell online or have suppliers in different countries. San Marco, Decora Italia design, Giorgio Graesan are some of the brands. Hope I could help. Cheers

@@mimihaus1984 have you found a supplier yet? I would appreciate your response so I can tell other people from the USA. Cheers!👍

Where are you located? Cheers mate!

Hi mate, it is very difficult to repair an area and make it non visible. Pretty much like a touching up metallic paint on a car, you need to re do the whole wall. However, depending on the colour it will be less noticeable (light colours, easier to fix)

Makes sense mate, I run a surface repair company in London, we recently had an enquiry to repair a water damaged polished plaster wall in a high end retail store. I have been exploring potential solutions but it’s not looking good, I wonder if sealing the wall with an impregnating sealer then touching up or air brushing the discoloured area with paint would work.

@@CN-kf1me water damage is never good. Most likely it will need to be re done. Even-though I am located in Australia, I know someone who could do the job in London. Let me know if you need his details. He’s been working with solid and polished plaster for a long time and knows the trade. Good luck buddy! All the best 👍

Hi mate, first of all thanks for your comments and your questions. Happy to tell you the way I do it even though I have used multiple different products from different brands. I don't get any extra support from any brand so my advice is pure haha. 😅 First of all, I always sand the tiles to scratch the surface so the primer stick into it, then clean them with a cloth and some Metho or Thinners to remove any dust. I use a good quality water base acrylic sealer over the tiles and let it dry for a day. Then the area is ready to be treated like any other wall basically. I apply 2 coats of sealer with grit (it creates the texture of a 80 grit sand paper. The size of the grit will determine the thickness of the product, usually 2-3 mm. I did the same process on the floor. The transition between Tadelakt and micro is not a problem. I finished the walls first, then start the micro cement. Once the micro is finish, create a "bridge" between the two making a small "grout" so the silicone can adhere properly so any water pooling on the corners doesn't get into wall or floor. So far my other bathroom at home was finished 4 years ago and still no problems at all. Hope I did answer all your questions and thanks again. 😉

Sorry to hear that, I created a full online course with more info and myself talking at the camera 😅. Hopefully I get better at it cause it was a terrifying experience. Check it out and let me know what you think. Cheers

Glad to see that someone recognize the difference 😉. It is Tadelakt mate, in powder form mixed with water. Venetian plaster turned out to be a pretty good marketing sales point

This version of tadelakt is European and therefore a glorified Venetian plaster tadelakt good spot

@@saren6538 Need to clarify, ceiling was done in Venetian plaster, walls in Tadelak and floor in Microcement. Thanks again

Great job. Thank you for sharing. I like the curved shower head. Can you share the brand and model?

@@christopherharris21 thanks, I really appreciate your comment. I will try to find out the model, however we got it from Highgrove bathrooms 😉👍

Thanks to you for commenting 🙌

Definitely YES. This highly polished Marmorino requires 3 top coats.

@@venetianplaster would this be the case for other brands, such as, DecoVeno marble effect venetian plaster?

@@raj080288 as long is natural lime base Venetian plaster, yes. There are some acrylics product that work different.

No, better to use quartz primer with grit. Please check my free online course for more info in every step. Thanks

@@venetianplaster thank you brother? Is that what you are using in this video? What does the grit do?

@@raj080288 the grit is to create textured wall so the base coat adhere better 👍

@@venetianplaster that makes sense..thank you very much for clarifying

@@raj080288 no worries mate, thanks!

Same tint as acrylic paint, easy. Just head to your paint shop and ask for it. Remember that doesn’t need too much, usually 1-2ml per kg of product for light colours is enough!

Thanks for your comment, I really appreciate it 👍. It holds the heat very well, better than paint. I have done many fireplaces and no problems. Thanks!

Hi, the product needs to be dry to burnish it, however it does need to be compressed while is wet, otherwise it won't burnish after. The drying process happens quick due of using very small amounts of product. I found working on small areas is best, so I can compress over and over again the product I just applied, making sure is ready for burnishing. Hope it helps!

@@venetianplaster thank you for the tip, apreciated, 👍👍last question here.... 😭 if i compress when is still wet, i am afraid that the pattern would disappear. it doesnt matter?

No mate, compressing and burnishing has nothing to do. The patter is created when we applied the product. Try with long strokes and short strokes to see the difference once finish. Therefore, shorter strokes with small amounts of material are helpful when we have to work around small areas like, light switches, above or below window frames, etc.. an uniform patter is more pleasant to the eye. Start small, then go big mate! Keep me posted with your progress and maybe share some pictures. Cheers

@@venetianplaster thanks so much! one of problem was... i chose marmorino <naturale>, it has some kinda sand it it, evey time i make pattern, it has scratch by sand, this time i bought high gloss stucco, i did 2 coat of base coat and waiting to dry, once it dried, i will do light sanding base coat and give it a go! i will let you know! thanks a lot!

@@wantang2 marmorino naturale good for base coat, but you won’t achieve much pattern. Good luck!

Total 3 days. Day 1: Sand, primer and base coat Day2: 3 top coats and burnishing Day3: Waxing 😉👍 You were spot on! Thanks for commenting mate, it really helps

@@venetianplaster can it be done in one day?

@@tonimaria2100 very unlikely, even when I create samples for clients, it takes 2 days.

Thank you so much for your comment, I’m very glad you liked it. Please check my online course in case you are interested on learning more! Thanks

Hi there, check my free online course mate. i talk you through all the steps and how I do it. Hope you enjoy it and support my channel 😉 Cheers

Gracias 😉

Hi Victor, there were around 20 square meters. Sorry but I don’t comment on total cost “money wise” please understand this is a private residence. What I can tell you is that working on a staircase complicates things, scaffold was needed and it took me a total of 5 days to complete, around 38h of labour and 1.000km of driving distance from home to the job site. Materials were close to $900 AUD price can vary a lot when you start changing these factors. I hope my answer was helpful. Cheers

Definitely NO. For large areas you will need help. One persone applying the product and a second one compressing and burnishing. You could have up to 3 people working on one wall, but each has one job. Applying Compressing Burnishing If there are two people applying the product, you will get different pattern and it will show up. Hope I could help.

Thanks for the visit

Thanks again mate, all I wanna see is more people learning about it, specially the ones paying, the clients. Too many cowboys using the term Venetian plaster to overcharge for basic products. I have seen it so many times. Using these platforms to share my knowledge 😉💪. Keep up with the good work and give it a try mate! Cheers

Hi mate, I used Marmorino fine 👍 (2 coats)

Hello and thanks for your comment 👍. You are completely right, therefore Venetian plaster should be protected with natural wax.

Carnauba wax or Bee’s wax as an option 😉

Stucco Venezia 1/019 😉. Thanks for your comment. Cheers mate!

Sorry, colour 019/1

Legend thanks mate!!

Normalmente un par de horas es suficiente, teniendo en cuenta condiciones normales (25grados 60% humedad) Seca muy rápido porque se utiliza muy poco material. Gracias por tu comentario.

@@venetianplaster I did forget to mention that it looks beautiful 🦋

Thanks! 😊@@clearskiesart2670

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 👍

Thanks for your comment @lildenac, the answer is: the exact same process, sanding and priming being the very first steps. In case of new gyprock plaster sheets or solid plaster, then there is no need for sanding.

@@venetianplasterthank you :) yes I have solid plaster the brown stuff! Cheers mate nice job

@@lildeanc you can always dilute the first coat of primer a bit to help rolling on raw plaster 👍,
