How to apply slaked paint
Let’s say that the advice is obvious, if you don’t have good manual skills it is better to ask for the intervention of a painter, however, if you want to try your hand at the task, it is preferable to use a brush which allows you to spread the material better. If the plaster on which the paint is applied is fresh, just one coat may be enough, otherwise two or three may be needed.
