System description
The SPATOLATO technique helps us create the appearance of depth of natural stone and broken segments in the stone. In nature, marble is a semi-transparent stone whose colour shade is given by different mineral admixtures. We can get very close to the desired shade with a wide range of colour shades and to the natural marble structure with the selected Spatolato technique.Recommended shades of technique

Technique instructions
Surface Preparation:
- The surface must be dry, firm, and free of stains, oils, and similar impurities.
- Smooth the surfaces with DECOR Smooth Relief or JUBOLIN P15 to a total thickness of 3 mm. Once the layer has dried, sand it down and remove the dust.
- Apply an ACRYL Emulsion, diluted with water in a 1:1 ratio, onto the dried layer of DECOR Smooth Relief or JUBOLIN P15.
Application Process:
- Using a stainless steel trowel and mixed motions, apply DECOR Marmorin in a very thin layer (~0.1–0.2 mm) to the surface. Remove any excess material as you go.
- Apply the second and third layers in the same way as the first one. Each layer must be completely dry before applying the next.
- Once the final layer is fully dry, polish the surface using a stainless steel trowel.
- After complete drying, or after 24 hours, begin applying DECOR Wax. Apply with a stainless steel trowel in as thin a layer as possible. After 3 hours, repeat the procedure.
- When the final layer of DECOR Wax is completely dry (approximately 24 hours), begin polishing. Polishing can be done manually or mechanically. For machine polishing, use a lambswool polishing tool. Start polishing at low speed; as the surface begins to gain gloss, slightly increase the speed. For manual polishing, use a dedicated decorative trowel and, with even movements and slightly stronger pressure on the surface, go over the entire surface.
