Application
Depending on the style and technique, EcoPlaster Smooth can be applied with a stainless steel trowel, a wide colorwash brush, comb or other texture tool for different creative effects. Drying time between coats is 2 to 4 hours, depending on conditions. EcoPlaster Smooth dries to a lighter color than the wet mixture.
Wet EcoPlaster Smooth has a pot life of approx. 2 weeks, depending on storage conditions and climate. Dry EcoPlaster can be stored for as long as needed. After mixing Natural Earth Pigments in EcoPlaster Smooth, we recommend storing and labeling a small portion of the dry mix for possible touch ups.
