STEP 1. Apply Recol® Travertino with a spatula or trowel (preferable made of stainless steel) to a thickness of approximately 2mm. Try getting a uniform thickness along the application, avoiding excess of product or uneven areas. Thickness above 3mm may cause cracks and affect the final appearance of Recol® Travertino.

STEP 2. With a soft brush (completely dry) texture some areas of the still wet surface of product, in such a way that create an irregular effect. Texture in a soft way to avoid withdraw product.

STEP 3. Once the product begins to dry, smooth lightly the textures of the step 2 with the spatula or trowel to generate the textures that imitate the travertino effect. Before the product dries completely, repeat the smoothing with more pressure of the tool to get additional compaction of the coat.

STEP 4. In order to imitate the joints between blocks of stone, scratch the surface of Recol® Travertino with the edge of a spatula (or a screwdriver) forming the boxes of
the wished dimensions. Use a level of bubble and a rule to obtain horizontal and vertical lines. As reference point, blocks with 20cm per 40cm dimensions are appropriate for an approximately 12m². To accentuate the divisions between blocks, take sandpaper, double it and touch up the divisions. Once the product has dried completely, protect the surface from the water (rain) at least 24 hours before proceeding with the finish.
