VENESTUK
Stucco Venetiano
DESCRIPTION
Venestuk
is made from a base of high-quality, vegetable components, lime putty,
carbonates, mineral colour pigments and various additives to simplify use. The
decorative chip technique of Venestuk
gives walls and ceilings a particularly aesthetic appearance, with a refined and
elegant ambience. The surface is
smooth and glossy, graceful in form, rich in colour effects, structures and
light-shade nuances.
The
use of Stucco Lucido (masterpieces) originated in ancient times but reached its
peak in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, particularly in the Venice region.
Venestuk is the splendid
result of the rich experience of the stucco masters of that period. The
particular properties of the stucco materials have been further refined by the
use of modern production techniques.

PROPERTIES
Specific
density
approx. 1.750 kg/litre
Dilution
ready-mixed, dilute with water
COVERAGE
0.3 to
1.5 kg/m2, depending on base.
COLOUR
Supplied
ready-mixed in white. Can be
coloured using Coridecor-oxide
colour concentrates by mixing in an agitator.
There are also 8 ready-mixed shades available.
Special shades can be produced in the factory from colour samples.
USE
Venestuk
can be used without any problem on almost any base, after the appropriate
pre-treatment : on all types of new or painted plasterwork, concrete,
plasterboard and wood bases and with a special primer on plastic (coatings) and
metal.
Pre-treatment
is not necessary if the base is plastered with plain plaster.
But if the plaster contains gypsum or has already been painted, a base
coat of Corifondo should be
applied. If the base is not a
stable background or comprises several coats of paint, lime paint or washable
paint, it should be made smooth. Residues
should be removed and a base coat of Corifondo
must be applied. Wood bases must be
treated with Corifondo wood
impregnator.
2
to 3 coats of Venestuk should be applied, depending on the condition of the
base, using a special flexible trowel made of spring band steel, until the
surface is completely smooth and homogenous.
The flexible trowel or a palette knife is then used to produce the
required surface structure. To
achieve the characteristic and typical effect of the Venetian plaster, Stucco
Lucido, the product should be applied until a uniform and perfect gloss finish
is achieved. The same tool can be
used for polishing the surface as for applying the product. Another option is to use a cotton cloth.
If Plastelux is used as a
final coat, the base coat can be Venestuk.
Venestuk
can be given extra protection against dirt with Coridecor
wax protector : this makes Venestuk
washable. The wax cannot be applied
to the Venestuk surfaces until 10
days after completion.
A
waxed stucco surface can only be repaired to a limited extent.
Plastelux can be easily
patched and reapplied without leaving streaks.
PACKAGING
5 kg and
25 kg tubs.

Venestuk
should be stored in a cool, dry place, at a minimum temperature of 3°C.
