General Features

The product is basically meant for the decoration of interior and exterior walls and contains metallic highlights (bronze-silver and gold) which give to the surface highly sophisticated decorative features, in the context of an old tradition filtered with modern technologies and techniques. The high alkalinity degree typical of lime and a good pemeability rate make of TEODORICO a perfect natural antimould agent.

Texture

TEODORICO looks perfectly smooth and even with gold, silver or bronze highlights.

Uses

Finishing coat of interior and exterior facades. Decorative interior finishing coat. Natural lime or mineral plasters represent TEODORICO'S most suitable substrate, since the product reacts chemically with them, building up a unique "body" able to preserve this lime coating for a longer period of time.

Following the correct instructions about surface preparation TEODORICO may also be applied over:

Lime and Cement Mortars
Premixed renderings containing minimum 30% of lime
Pre-existing lime and gypsum plasters
Moisture-permeable plasters
Gypsum plasterboard

Substrate Preparation

The substrate must be perfectly dry, dust-free, with no humidity and salts stains:

New natural lime or mineral substrates: wet thoroughly the wall with clean water, specially in case of windy and extremely hot weather
New or recent lime and cement mortars, premixed renderings, gypsum and plaster boards: apply one priming coat of TEODORICO, mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4/5 parts of clean water. After 4-6 hours apply TEODORICO.
Pre-existing chalking lime plasters: remove damaged and peeling areas with an adequate tool or high-pressure washing; apply one priming coat consisting of MARMUR Fine mixed 1:1 with IsoSil (siloxane clear sealer) and 4-5 parts of clean water. After a few hours smooth the wall with one coat of MARMUR Fine, if necessary. Wait at least 4-6 hours prior to the application of TEODORICO lime coating.
Old synthetic paints and plasters: remove the synthetic finishing coat with a paint remover containing no paraffin. Wash the substrate by means of a high-pressure washing and prepare it according to its nature and following the instructions above.

Application Procedure and Recommendation

TEODORICO lime plaster is ready for use and therefore does not require any water dilution. Apply in two coats with a stainless steel trowel It is recommended to wait 8 hours between the 2 coats. Work into the second coat, while it is still setting, with a sponge float. The "marbling effect" typical of TEODORICO with the metallic highlights is achieved by polishing the second final coat with an inox trowel like, which must be kept wet with water and passed over the substrate until the required level of sheen has been reached. Do not apply with rainy weather or with air or substrate temperature below 5° C. Protect the facades from rain, at least along the first 48 hours, i.e. until lime has finished to set and started to get hard.
