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

sponge or a plastic float to create a more uniform design. Avoid formation
of dark trowel marks.
