Apply CeboSi Universal in one coat with the appropriate CeboSi brush, available in 2½ and 4 inches size, in crossed brush-strokes avoiding clear-cut squaring; continue the application to reach the already painted area with the empty brush, in order to avoid noticeable overlapping of colour.

water: dip the sponge into the product and apply in uniform circular movements.

Application cycle for breached effect – Cracked effect
Apply CeboStrong with a stainless steel trowel in a uniform thickness of 1-2 mm. When the product is still fresh decorate the surface with CeboSign specific tool to imitate the breached stones.

Apply CeboSi Universal by sponge, in two coats, diluted 10% with water, as described for the trowel effect.
