THE “VOLCANO” WALL

A simple yet engaging technique that you can definitely recreate yourself. To learn more about the “VOLCANO” technique, see below. Note: Decorative clay plaster techniques must not be covered with oil-based products. To increase the wall’s resistance to abrasion and liquids, we recommend Caparol Decolasur Matt

Description

Materials and tools needed for a wall of ~ 15 sq. m.:

IMPORTANT– the colours are for reference only, so if you are interested in a different wall colour, we recommend you to order our colour palette to your home and choose ->here

The tools and aids you will need:

  • Measuring cup for holding the mixture here
  • Protective painting tape here
  • Paint protection film to protect adjacent walls;
  • Paint roller and lacquer bath here
  • Water sprayer, available here
  • Paper to protect the floor and tape to stick it down here
  • A 35liter bucket for mixing the decorative clay plaster – we recommend using a tall narrow container.
  • Electric mixer for mixing plaster.

Preparing the mixture

Pour 8.5 liters of water into a 35 liter bucket, then pour in the entire pigment jar, mix well with an electric mixer and carefully pour in the clay-plaster mixture in to the mix while stirring continuously. For better mixing, we recommend mixing in a tall and narrow container. Cover the mixture to prevent it from drying out and leave it to stand for at least a couple of hours. Ideally, prepare it during the evening so it is ready for the next day’s work.

First layer of decorative clay plaster:

Apply the first layer with simple curved movements, without creating any pattern, as in the tutorial video.

Second layer  of decorative clay plaster:

In this layer, the clay plaster can be plastered slightly thicker up to ~ 3 mm. Plastering is done with curved motions. After plastering ~2 m2, the wall should be scraped with a decorating brush while wet, then plastered over a similar area, scraped again with a decorating brush, etc. Scraping it with a brush will result in a spiky wall, which won’t look pretty, but at this stage it shouldn’t.

IMPORTANT – for best results, use a thicker mix for the second coat, so if you are mixing a new pack of decorative clay plaster, mix it with 8L of water. If the mixture in the second layer is too runny, the resulting raised pattern may start to slip downwards.

Wall treatment – curing:

Option 1 – while the wall is wet

After applying the second plaster coat, wait until the wall has become so dry that it is no longer sticky and tacky when you touch it, but is still wet. Carefully start curing the wall with a clean and dry stainless steel trowel. It is not necessary to cure consistently – if you see that the thicker areas are still very soft and sticky, go back to them later. Wet any dry, greyish areas again to revitalise them, then cure with a trowel once the water has been absorbed and is no longer glistens on the wall surface. The hardening process will give your texture a nice smooth pattern.

Option 2 – when the wall is dry

If the wall dries out before curing, it will have to be wet again. This is best done with a water sprayer, but try to avoid run-off so the water does not wash away the pigment and leave marks as it runs down. If water starts pooling in places when spraying, use a dry paint roller to roll the area to disperse the water and prevent it from running. After waiting at least 10 minutes until the wall is no longer shiny from the water and no longer sticks to your fingers when touched, try to gently harden the wall with a stainless steel trowel, if the texture is nicely compacted, harden the whole wall. If you feel the wall is too wet, wait a little longer, and if the wall is scratchy and the pattern is not squeezing in at all, moisten it some more.

After curing, the wall must be smooth and pleasant to the touch.

Impregnation – if necessary, the wall can be covered with glaze or water-based varnish. P.s. we recommend diluting the glaze or varnish with 20% water. Also keep in mind that when you glaze brighter colors, they will be even more intense. We do not recommend covering this technique with tung or other oils.

Important to know:

  • It is recommended to test the materials and techniques on a separate sketch before starting work. This will determine the future colour and pattern of the walls;
  • clay plaster will lighten as it dries, so the final colour cannot be judged from the wet mix.

Euro pallets with big bags or other goods are lowered with an elevator and pushed out as close as possible to a suitable place for you. You need to make sure the foundation is solid. If there is no hard ground, paving, or asphalt, provide a larger, sturdy plate on which the pallet can be pushed out with the goods.
