LIMESTONE OVERLAY
How it works is very much like our other dry mixes.
It is a powder that is combined with the
Enforcer Additive and mixed to the consistency you
desire and then troweled on.
It will take Oxidizer Stains and/or Dyes.
It reacts in a really strong fashion due to
the exceptionally high lime content.
It is exterior applicable.
If Oxidized or Dyed, it does need a Liquid Hardener.
It is more than durable enough for floors.
It can be spread as heavy as 1" w/o cracking.
It can be sanded within 24 hours, but sets rather quickly
and may require a grinder even within 24 hours in certain climates.
Bella Vernici's Slow-Drying Enforcer can be utilized to retard
the drying time, but does not have the same
long-duration as when mixed with Overlay.
The sample shown above was troweled with a bedcoat...
allowed to dry to approximately 80%
(defined as the moisture leaving the surface).
Then, it had a slurry coat hard-troweled over it
to backfill it to a semi-smooth finish.
Rock salt was then thrown in and pushed down as it set.
The following day, a diamond grinder was put
to it to expose the aggregate and pits.
Then, Hardener was mopped on.
After that had dreid overnight, three coats of
Brown Gravy Wax were applied and buffed between coats.
This sample could also have been polished with a diamond
polisher to a mirror finish for a honed-travertine look.
In the sample below, the Limestone was troweled on in a bedcoat-
then immediately and sporatically applied as a lace coat over that.
It dried overnight and was washed with Bella Vernici Brown Dye the
following day. B.V. Liquid Hardener was then applied.

"Come see us at the World of Concrete!"

The Bella Vernici Architectural Concrete System and concrete acid stain is designed to work for Decorative and
Faux Finishing Paint Artists and Contractors to create a cement veneer and chemical or
concrete acid stain system that will create a faux or decorative concrete finish designed to
embellish any art or design in a home. Classes paint the image of the concrete system that
dispells the myth that concrete acid stains have to be difficult to paint, decorate or contract with.
Using Modello design stencils, the Bella Vernici system can offer artists and decorative
painters options never seen in Decorative concrete paint or concrete acid stains previously.
Additionally, our cement overlay veneer offers a paper-thin profile that
reacts with the concrete acid or concrete chemical stains like a six-inch concrete slab.
No other concrete or cement system can allow for such drastic reactions while
maintaining color integrity and artistic applications when dealing with concrete acid stain,
concrete acidic paint or chemical stains-especially when utilizing the Modello design stencils.
Through the gelatinizing process of our concrete
system's gel oride, non-bleed Modello design stencil work is achieved.
Artwork takes on a whole new embodiment when including the fresco medium available in our concrete veneer system.
This cement overlay has an 8hr window for buon fresco application of concrete acid stain,
chemical dye or pure pigment application for a true, crystallization in wet fresco.
Modello design stencils may also be used in conjunction with the cement
fresco medium when doing these architectural finishes.
Concrete Acid Stains can be thickened with the gel oride and rubbed on the Modello design stencils
to create patterns in the fresco or a wall pattern from acid stains that gives the
beauty and durability of the concrete finishes of ancient Rome.
All of these architectural finishes offer the design, art and decorative aspects
associated with concrete and cement finishes and concrete acid stains popular in architectural design today.
