Old Concrete:
Old concrete should be clean and in good state of repair i.e., cracks, holes and other irregularities should be filled in.

After 5-10 minutes press the spatula and move it on the surfaces to obtain more glossy effects. Since the drying and carbonation of Stucco Grassello are highly susceptible to the temperature and humidity of the air must be <80%.
Colouring can be obtained either by our Tintomachine or manual tinting. It is advisable to use preferable oxide-based pastes. In the event of different brands of coloured product are used, or a piece of work completed with a product produced by the tinting machine, it is recommended that the various product is compatible to each other to avoid slight differences in colour.
