First Coat: Vega Plaster™ should be applied evenly, covering the entire wall. It is recommended to use a wet sponge or a plastic trowel in a circular motion before the Vega dries to create a more uniform design, expose the aggregate, and eliminate all imperfections. Allow at least 12 hours for the first coat to dry.
Second Coat (Smooth Finish): Apply the second coat in the same manner as
the first coat, but this time apply it a bit thicker to embed the large aggregate. Spread the material evenly maintaining the same thickness across the wall. For a smooth finish, smooth the wall with the trowel applying minimal pressure and cleaning off all excess material. If extra smoothing is needed, spray minimal amounts of water before the plaster dries and continue burnishing. Then, let the plaster dry for a minimum of 48 hours before applying a sealer.
Pitted/Precast Textures: Apply the second coat in the same manner as the first coat. Before the plaster dries, use a plastic trowel and stick it onto the wall. Then, in a circular motion, move the trowel to drag the large aggregates and smooth again in the desired areas until finish is achieved.
