Product Description
Description:
Tonachino Firenze™ is a natural lime-based plaster which is used as a decorative wall covering system. This modern version of an early Italian plaster can be used to create magnificent exterior and interior finishes. Its natural makeup allows the Firenze™ to replicate the authentic “Old-World” sand finish.
With a unique blend of natural ingredients, like slaked lime, river sands, and marble dust, along with polymer admixtures, Firenze ™ possesses suburb adhesion, durability, and water repellency.
Available in 1 kg, 5 kg, and 20 kg.

Application
Preparation:
- Surface should be smooth, clean and free of contamination.
- Interior new surface – Prime substrate with PVA acrylic primer and let it dry fully. Apply one coat of diluted Meoded Quartz Primer™ allowing it 3-5 hours to dry.
- Interior & Exterior existing surface – Sand oil-based paints and glossy surfaces.
- Prime substrate with multi-purpose primer and let it dry fully. Then apply one coat of diluted Meoded Quartz Primer™ allowing it 3-5 hours to dry.
- Preparation of flat surfaces requires only the application of diluted Meoded Quartz Primer™.
- Exterior Brown coat – First surface should be pressure washed and clean.
- When surface is fully dry, apply Meoded Quartz Primer™ diluted with 50% water. Let it dry at least 3-5 hours. To economize costs, it is recommended to apply a leveling coat using finer grain cement or acrylic base material over the brown coat to fill up low spots and create a flat surface.
Application Methods:
Use stainless steel trowel to apply Tonachino Firenze™.
First coat – Apply first coat in the same fashion you would apply a standard joint compound: in a smooth even fashion leaving a wet edge to avoid lap marks. While the plaster is still moist, it is recommended to use a wet sponge or a plastic float to create a more uniform design. Allow at least 12 hours to dry.
Second coat – If required to smooth, lightly sand first coat with 180-320 grit sandpaper before proceeding. Apply second coat in the same manner as first coat. While Firenze ™ is still moist, it is recommended to use a wet sponge or a plastic float to create a more uniform design. Avoid formation of dark trowel marks.
Sealer:
After a minimum of 48 hours dry, Water Block™, a water-repellent sealer is recommended to provide your finish with protection from moisture and dirt.
