Technique N.02 — Matte Stucco
Alkantarus – Matte Stucco Effect
Alkantarus is a professional decorative paint that creates a smooth, matte stucco finish, applied with a Venetian trowel.
Surface
Walls and ceilings must be perfectly smooth for this effect. On highly absorbent walls we also recommend Gruntus deep-penetrating primer by ZUBRA COLORS to strengthen the surface and reduce absorbency.
