Marble powders

Of the various types of marble, few are appropriate to make a good marmorino. This depends on the color and shape of the granules after it has been ground.

When to use

One of the most diffuse methods to make a textureless Marmorino Veneziano is to add some marble powder to the first and second coats (a maximum of 5% of the total weight, that is 2 kg in a 24 kg Marmorino bucket).

This addition of marble powder allows the material to shrink less during drying process ensuring smooth first and second coats. The addition of marble powder does not change the color of the material.

It is also useful to add to the first coat when the surface is too rough or irregular.
