High-quality water-based acrylic finish for interiors, with a glossy appearance. CeboMarmo reinterprets the marble effect by reproducing the movements of the typical veins and the brilliance of a precious and refined material, giving an exclusive charm to every environment.
The surfaces must be perfectly smooth and flat: otherwise defects in the support could be highlighted during the application of CeboMarmo and especially during the polishing phase. In the presence of smoothing, chalky or absorbent primers, apply a coat of CeboFix M fixative with a brush, diluted 1:1 with water.
Application of CeboFix Primo: apply the white CeboFix Primo primer in one hand, with a short-haired roller, diluted 20% with water and wait for it to dry completely (minimum 6-8 hours).
Application of CeboIdea: to obtain a smooth surface, without imperfections, roll or brush marks and to have an ideal adhesion base, on CeboFix Primo dry it is recommended to apply, with a stainless steel trowel, one or two coats in succession of the base CeboIdea and sand gently with 180 grit sandpaper: dust the surface with a damp cloth. Then start applying CeboMarmo directly on CeboIdea.
FIRST PHASE
Depending on the surface to be decorated, predetermine and mark the position of the grain.
Apply white CeboMarmo with a stainless steel trowel, diagonally to create the first grain, taking care to leave plenty of product. On the still fresh product, apply colored CeboMarmo with the steel trowel. Colored CeboMarmo will mix with white CeboMarmo generating the typical streaks of marble. While the product is still wet, engrave the surface with the CeboMarmo engraver (A/53) following the direction of the first grain: repeat the operation for the other grains to be created. Subsequently, always respecting the direction of the workmanship, apply colored CeboMarmo with the steel trowel in the spaces left empty between the grains and complete the incisions.
Wait for complete drying (minimum 6-8 hours).
SECOND PHASE
Using a steel spatula, remove excess material and sand as follows:
OPTION 1: hand sanding with 180 grit abrasive sponge.
OPTION 2: machine sanding with 180 grit abrasive disc.
Dust the surface perfectly and apply white CeboMarmo on the first grain created respecting the direction of the workmanship: apply colored CeboMarmo with the steel trowel on the same grain and on the surrounding surface, exerting adequate pressure. Apply a further coat of white CeboMarmo to highlight the veins, exerting higher pressure, with a trowel inclined at 90° degrees. Repeat the operation for the other grains.
NOTE: proceed by working one grain at a time.
POLISHING
OPTION 1 - Hand polishing -: before complete drying, polish the surface by repeatedly passing the clean steel trowel, exerting adequate pressure.
OPTION 2 - Machine polishing –: after at least 2-4 hours from the application of the last coat of CeboMarmo, carry out the polishing using the abrasive discs in sequence: 1st grit 800 - 2nd grit 1000 - 3rd grit 2000 - 4 ° 4000 grit.
NOTE: following machine polishing, hand polishing with a steel trowel is still necessary. For an even more realistic marble effect, it is possible to better define the engravings by going over them with white CeboMarmo, diluted with water and applied with a Fine Arts brush.
PROTECTION and FINAL POLISHING
CeboWax: beeswax-based interior finish, breathable and water-repellent. Apply a coat of CeboWax diluted 1:1 with water, using a synthetic sponge. Spread the product for approximately 1 m2 at a time following the direction of the work: immediately afterwards, with a soft cloth, go over the surface to remove excess wax. Wait 10-15 minutes and polish the surface by repeatedly passing the perfectly clean steel trowel or polish with a 4000 grit abrasive disc.
