Pro Toscana - Data Sheet

DESCRIPTION: ProFaux Toscana is a premixed permanent hard heavy texture for Old World looks and feel. Similar to an exterior white concrete, this durable product contains a fine sharp aggregate. Ready to tint or apply. Thins with water or latex paint. Scruff resistant and without smell of solvents. Toscana texture is used as a rough stucco base or can be topped with ProFaux Neutral Venetian for smooth translucent stucco. Toscana is successfully combined with many other products in the ProFaux Line. Used for interior residential and commercial decoration.

GENERAL: Over absorbent surfaces, use latex sealer. On old paint, remove loose paint, fill, sand and prime. On wood, metal and concrete, use recommended sealer. For best coverage, work over flat latex paint primer that has been tinted to approximate color of ProFaux Toscana Color (generally white or pastel). Thin with one quart of custom latex paint cover (or water) per gallon. Use the heavy duty Pro Faux mixer and drill. Apply brush and roller, steel spatulas or trowel. Add texture by stippling with texture roller or pounce brush. Tip-off high points with spatula or dampened plastic float. May be carved for several hours. Let dry. Stain with thin washes of Pro Faux Stonewash Pigments. Let dry. Seal with Pro Faux Acrylic Zero Gloss Varnish. * Always seal exterior application with exterior water-based or solvent-based varnish.

Color and Seal Toscana finish with Two Easy Methods:

Method 1- Stain with Pro Faux Stonewash Pigments using watery washes and cellulose sponges. Let dry 20 minutes to overnight. Protect stonewash pigments by rolling-on a full coat of Pro Faux Acrylic Zero Gloss Varnish.
