Why apply it

To protect Marmorino Veneziano Classic and Marmorino Veneziano Carrara when you don’t want to use a Natural Bee’s Wax to maintain a flat finish.

It is a unique traditional protection for marmorino which has been applied on exterior surfaces. Today synthetic waterproofing products are also used.

Application

Let the marmorino dry at least 12 hours before applying the soap.

There are two different ways to apply the soap:

It can be applied, as is, using a metal trowel, spreading it thickly until the marmorino stops absorbing it. As soon as it dries, remove the excess soap with a soft cloth.
It can be diluted 1:3 or 1:4 with water, then applied using a brush or a spray bottle and spreading it thickly and evenly with a metal trowel over the entire surface area. Once it has dried, remove excess with a soft cloth.

Natural soap reacts with lime producing a fat molecule which impedes the passage of water. For this reason, it is advised to apply the soap while the lime is still active (ie. within 10 days of applying the marmorino).
