Rotto is a high viscosity water based pull off chipping type plaster. It is typically applied with a trowel, as the plaster starts to dry (10 to 20 minutes of drying) the plaster may be stippled or touched with the flat surface of the trowel. When touched, the plaster will adhere to the trowel, creating a chipped plaster/concrete look and feel. As the plaster starts to set up and dry, tapping it with a paper towel and trowel will provide various textures. These textures may be further modified by allowing them to dry and then knocking the texture down with the edge of the trowel. Rotto is also easily scrapped off with a putty knife while it is partially dry creating an additional chipped plaster appearance. Once the plaster is fully dry (next day recommended) the plaster may be color washed with Blue Pearl Faux Colorants and glaze.

 

Rotto should not be vigorously stirred or mixed. If a small amount of water separation is observed on the top of the product upon opening the container, a gentle mixing action to fold the product together is all that is needed prior to application. Too much mixing or shaking may temporarily lower viscosity and adversely modify application properties.

 

Rotto is available in tint base only
