Original Message "RE: scagliola" Posted by Bernardo on 23-May-03 at 04:43 PM Dear Marmorino:On thesubject of the stains,if they went deep inside the stucco, unfortunately, the only way to wipe them away is to sand it again, then aply the pastina on several times as needed.If the stain is only a single spot, you can carve it and fill it with stucco again, taking care on the colour.Then go on with the polishing till it turns similar than the original piece. The best way I found, to avoid stains in the Scagliola is to carve on the piece with the pastina on, so its protected. the cutting must be very neat,and it is a bit unconfortable, because you dont actually see the stucco vains becausev of the pastina, but its safe.Specially when its filled with different colours. Second : if you refer to the thickness of the carving,3 to 5 millimeters works fine to me. When there are colours side by side, the only way is to fill one at a time, then , once dried you can cut it perfectly. Well, hope this to be helpfull, Bye Bernardo PS: if there is any interestig reading on Scagliola, let me know, thanks.
