This tintable acrylic plaster base contains titanium dioxide which allows for it to be used as a white or to create light pastel colors. Various looks can be created such as lightly polished marble, stone or suede.

This tintable acrylic plaster can develop a beautiful, highly polished marble-like appearance. The more you polish, the more translucent the finish becomes. This translucency creates the depth seen in real marble, and the beautiful finish is so smooth, it even feels like marble. Although it was originally intended for creating dark and ultra-deep colors, finishers prefer this base for light and mid-tone colors because of its translucency and ease of polishing.

This trowel applied clear protective topcoat is intended for use over Venetian Plaster finishes in high traffic areas where washability is imperative or for rooms that experience high humidity.
