And with applications for steel, wood and even masonry, veneer plaster is versatile. The company offers a full line of veneer and conventional plaster products from molding and basecoat to finishing.

Venetian Plaster
Sepp Leaf
Kolcaustico Venetian Plaster is an elegant, tintable wall finishing material that offers unlimited opportunities to create distinctly different surfaces. Mixols are the preferred universal tints for Kolcaustico; their vast color assortment and high pigment concentration make them ideal for this thick venetian plaster. It is easily applied and worked with a blade to form a super-smooth and high-gloss finish. A fine coat of Liberon paste wax is often applied after the Kolcaustico has been burnished. Mica powders or earth pigments can be added in this step to create dynamic results. Kolcaustico provides creative possibilities for both traditional and contemporary settings.
