for lime plaster based products, I would LEAVE IT ALONE for at least a week. if it is interior, I would even mist the surface and speed up the carbonation, (spelling??) of the lime. ALLOW it to cure first, then ad the glaze to the surface. That goes for polishing with wax too. Obviously, marmorino is polished wet on the final pass with a trowel but adding anything to the surface, you ought to wait til it is cured, (not so much dried) since natural lime plasters cure, acrylic plasters dry. A dry lime plaster to the touch doesn't mean it is cured.

hope that helps a little
