STUCCATURA E RIEMPIMENTO

RITOCCO TINTA

Stucco and filling technologies

The wax fillers, formulated at 100% solid content with light-resistant pigments, are free of greasy residues and therefore perfectly overcoated.

Wax stucco allows the coloring and filling of the defect with a single operation. The wax is produced in the form of a stick and an easy-to-store product, with almost unlimited shelf life, and ready to use.

The stucco operation begins with the choice of the colors of the sticks, in fact it is necessary to use more colors to try to recreate the wood grain on which to operate. We recommend choosing a palette of three colors, selecting two colors with a greater color difference than the woody essence (the darkest and lightest) and an intermediate color, which can also have a slightly different color cast. When the dimensions of the hole are negligible it is sufficient to use only one stick. The softness of the wax mixture is an important parameter, and must be a formulation capable of exhibiting a balance of viscoelstic properties, guaranteeing a certain hardness at room temperature in application, but under the action of the color the state of crystallinity must change and achieve the plasticity necessary for the grouting operation.

We proceed with the application of the lighter color, cutting with the spatula a small portion of wax from the stick. We recommend using a short and flexible spatula so that you can unload all the strength of the arm, and possibly body weight, directly on the blade and crush and spread the wax with energy.

Touching up Hole on Oak Panel with Stuccorapido Soft Wax

The soft wax filling allows the coloring and filling of the hole with a single operation, uses only a normal steel spatula as a work tool. Soft stick wax is an easy-to-store product with almost unlimited shelf life and ready to use.

 

The grouting operation begins with the choice of the colors of the STUCCORAPIDO sticks, it is in fact necessary to use more colors to try to recreate the wood grain on which to intervene. We recommend choosing a palette of three colors, selecting two colors with a greater color difference than the woody essence (the darkest and lightest) and an intermediate color, which can also have a slightly different color cast. When the size of the hole is negligible, it is sufficient to use only one stick. The softness of the wax mixture is an important parameter, and must be a formulation capable of exhibiting a balance of viscoelstic properties, guaranteeing a certain hardness at room temperature in application, but under the friction action of the spatula, the state of crystallinity must change and achieve the plasticity necessary for the grouting operation.

After carrying out the colored filling, we recommend proceeding with a fixing and masking operation by applying a glaze of transparent HOLZSPRAY varnish with the spray technique. The operation begins in the touched up area and then faded by moving away at the area concerned with the wax touch up.

The gloss of the varnish and the dilating effect can be modulated in the shading phase or better in the selection phase of the concentration of acrylic resin in the spray mixture (HOLZSPRAY, HOLZSPRAY COLOR, HOLZSPRAY HS), and subsequently in the degree of gloss of the acrylic paint, which can vary from 10 ° to 100 ° gloss.
