#0, stucco lustro
Posted by Marc on 21-Aug-02 at 01:58 AM
Hi everyone,
New to this list and greatly impressed.
I am interested in stucco lustro technique.
Can anyone recommend a good source?
Please correct the following if you notice anything wrong. The stucco plaster will be applied on a lime plastered wall.

- mixture of marble powder and lime (equal parts?;
- natural pigments added to each coat (maximum 10%?;
- each coat applied with a supple 10cm blade, starting from top of wall.

Questions:
- Is there any need to incorporate such elements as linseed oil, beeswax, etc. in the plaster?
- What about the colour ordering: which ones first?

Any other tips will be greatly appreciated.
Marc
