Terra Nostra

Description

Terra Nostra is made using minerals and slaked lime, both ecological and of the highest quality. Its coloration respects the environment, being formulated with natural earth colors. Terra Nostra is a truly innovative product, allowing the applicator to achieve several different effects using the same filler. In this data sheet, the following effects are presented: Terra Nostra Craquelee, Terra Nostra Damascato, and Terra Nostra Spatolato. However, the effects obtainable with Terra Nostra are virtually endless.

Application 

1. Make sure the surface is completely dry. If the surface is plastered, make sure it had a curing time of at least 28 days, depending on temperature.
2. Make sure that the media has been well prepared and is suitable for coating:
3. Plaster must be dry, not have any granules.
4. On old walls, make sure that there is no poor quality or powdery paint, remove flaking paint, etc.
5. Apply 1 coat of Scik Pural Acril primer if necessary.
6. Apply with a brush or roller one or two coats of Decor Fondo Primer diluted with 5–10% water.
   

   How To Apply Terra Nostra Craquelee Effect:

   Premise

   • To obtain the correct effect, do not apply the product in the presence of damp surfaces or humid days.

   • Environmental temperatures at the time of application shall be between 15°C and 35°C.

   • The product shall dry completely between each step of application.

   • If the above conditions are not possible, do not proceed with the application.

   Application Steps

   1. Once the Decor Fondo is perfectly dry, apply 1 coat of Trasparente Spaccante using a short nap roller. Let dry for minimum 6 hours.

   2. Apply the first coat of uncolored Terra Nostra Prima Mano (this stucco is only for the first and only hand for processing the craquelée effect):

   o For large cracks → apply thicker.

   o For smaller cracks → apply thinner.

   o Do not pass over the same area with the spatula to correct imperfections.

   3. Allow to dry completely (18–24 hours or more depending on temperature) – cracks will form in this phase.

   4. Sand the entire surface to remove imperfections. Brush the surface to remove dust.

   5. Apply a second coat of TERRA NOSTRA colored according to the color chart with Toner Tn or the Tinting System.

   o When partially dry, polish the entire surface using a steel trowel.

   o Allow to dry thoroughly (18–24 hours or more).

   6. Apply Hydrocera D’arte Or Cera D’arte using a stainless-steel trowel.

   o Wax will fill in the cracks, creating the craquelée effect.

   o Polish with a woolen cloth.

   How To Apply Terra Nostra Damascato

   Application Steps

   1. Once the Decor Fondo is completely dry, apply 1 coat of Terra Nostra colored by Toner Tn or Tintometric System, using a short nap roller. Cover evenly.

   2. Once the first coat is dry, apply a second coat in an irregular manner, covering only partially the surface, leaving some areas covered only by the first coat.

   3. Immediately after this application, when only partially dry, polish the entire surface using a steel trowel.

   4. Once completely dry, apply Cera D’arte Or Hydrocera D’arte using a stainless-steel trowel.

   o Wax will fill in some areas, resulting in the Damascato effect.

   o Polish using a woolen cloth.
