Workflow, layer order description:

1. Basics

The base can be glazed or even painted wall surface. The main thing is that the base surface is dry and durable. It must not contain substances having a separator effect, similar or other substances. Layers, dust and deposits of lower strength must be removed. The base surface must be prepared by an appropriate mechanical process.

Then we can start with the HARZO Penetrating Primer. Applicate the primer after thorough stirring without dilution. In 2-3 hours it will dry and be transmissible.

Its coverage on indoor wall painting and glazed foundations: 8-10 m2/lit/layer.

Drying time: about 2-3 hours, depends on the temperature and proper ventilation, ventilation.

2. Concrete effect making with HARZO 3 LOFT decorative filler material

Colour the HARZO 3 LOFT material to your liking. You can colour it with homemade hand-colouring pastes or in the paint shop according to colour code.

Apply the material to the wall in a single layer in an irregular shape using stainless steel filler iron. Take back the excess, leave it thin on the wall. It’s okay if the white base seems a little over from under it, it’s okay if the glazing isn’t too good, and it’s okay to have little cans left. On the contrary! These little mistakes and irregularities will form the pattern! At once, fillering one part of the wall, corner to corner.

Making impressions: Wait 15-20 minutes for the material to drizzle, after which you can make impressions into the semi-dry material with various decorative tools on demand. Then, with stainless steel filler iron, where malleable, smooth it gently. And where it feels drier, press the filler iron harder. The goal is to start graying in places as a result of the pattern, the strengthening and the repeated fillering.

If you do not want to make impressions, you will start fillering the sufficiently sagging and no longer malleable material with the stainless steel filler iron. Small cans and bugs prottonous, under the influence of fillering, begin to play in different shades of gray. If you want more darker effects, put smaller or larger pieces of Loft material on the dry wall as you like. Then, after a few minutes, smooth it so that it is in the plane of the wall. The more you smooth on it, the darker the shade it will be!

If the effect is darker than you planned, sand it with 300 sandpaper and it will lighten! The quality of the wall surface thus constructed corresponds to a high-quality indoor wall painting.

TIP: Before you start working, practice your movements on a sample board. Watching the video helps a lot! When you feel like you’re going easy, start on the wall, in a more secluded part. If you make a mistake, you can experience how you can improve it. That way, you’ll have a simpler time on the big walls.

Coverage: 1-1.5 m2/kg/layer.

Drying time: about 1-2 hours, depends on the temperature and proper ventilation, ventilation.
