Characteristics of Venetian plaster
In ancient times, only natural components were included in Venetian plaster. Today, acrylic is often used as 
a binder instead of lime. Synthetic materials increase plasticity and prevent the appearance of cracks after 
the solution has dried.
  
Components of the mixture:
stone dust (the smaller the fraction, the better);     coloring matter (color);    binders;    acrylic or water-
based emulsion;    sometimes added gypsum, other additives;    Wax is used to protect against moisture 
and shine.
Plaster in finished form can have a rough or smooth surface and imitate different textures. The peculiarity 
of the application involves careful preparation of the foundation for plaster
