Description
Sgraffito Grip and Base – Royal Blue is a polymer-modified cementitious plaster coat, designed to grip to a non porous surface or to an existing plaster to form a colored base for fresco sgraffito application. (note: comes in dry form – do not mix with water more than you can use within 30 minutes)
We offer Sgraffito Grip and Base in a variety of colors created using lime safe pigments (click on the swatch below).
      |
You can create your own color variations using a “Classic gray” Sgraffito Grip Base and any earth, mineral oxide or other lime proof natural pigment.
Fine (#30 mesh size)
Approximate coverage 3kg – 10 sq feet depending on surface porosity. Mix with water into wet plaster (up to 1/2 of dry material by volume) and apply directly over ceramic tile, unpainted plaster, natural stone or any primed surface (for example – wooden panel or drywall). I use cabinet grade birch plywood for my panels. Prime with flat latex paint (any kind, I prefer exterior paint). Strong water proof seal is needed – I do not use gesso for that because it contains chalk.
This is a Sgraffito Base Color coat, it is NOT an Intonaco Plaster Coat or Roman Marmorino or Sgraffito Topcoat which are cut and scraped as sgraffito and/or painted in fresco (see What is Sgraffito? and What is Fresco? articles).
