| Frequently asked questions on choice of colour and most suitable product, application, after-care, and preparing walls. |
- Why use a Natural Primer instead of a Quartz Primer?
Spatula Stuhhi's Natural Primer guarantees "grip" and hides any black marks.
- Must bonding liquid be applied to gypsum board before applying a Primer?
It is always best to use a bonding liquid, especially when there is dust about.
- Can some actual colours differ from the colour samples?
Spatula Stuhhi is a natural product that is applied by hand. Some variation in colour is therefore acceptable. The colours shown in our samples are indicative and often very practical. For a definite indication of the colour and the result, we recommend a test patch on the wall.
- How is 'Cera del Vecchio' (Antique Wax) applied? Can it be applied over other products?
Our antique wax is applied using a cloth for each 10 square metres. This is immediately followed by removing the excess wax using a cloth or our special buffer, thereby obtaining a perfect sheen.
Antique wax can be applied over other products
- Can your dyes be used with other products?
Yes, provided they are water-based products.
- Can S.S. be used for external finishes?
No. S.S. is made for internal use.
- Can it be coloured using universal dyes?
Generally not. The product may undergo changes in viscosity and may give rise to blotchiness and buffing problems.
- Can the product be mixed using a tint meter machine?
We recommend using a drill (at low rpm) with a whisk, thereby avoiding the fibres in the product breaking down. If you use the tint meter machine, the S.S. may become very low in viscosity.
- Why is the product sometimes liquid, even 24 hours after mixing?
This most often happens with very strong colours. In these cases, it is best to add our thickening agent to the product, which will give it good viscosity after a couple of hours.
- Why is it difficult to see the spatula marks in light colours?
This is a characteristic of the product. However, the spatula marks can be highlighted by adding a bit of dye for the third coat.
- Can the surface be sanded between coats?
No. The dust that is produced by sanding forms an invisible shield that stops the next coat of S.S. "gripping", making it tend to "tear" (Peeling).
- Why do some pieces of plastic detach themselves from the bucket when mixing the product with a whisk?
This is due to the whisk not being properly rounded. Check that the whisk doesn't have any bits of weld sticking out of the working area.

| Frequently asked questions on quality, durability, and ease of application of our products. |
- Is S.S. a natural, ecological, transpiring product?
Yes, this product is made to have these characteristics.
- Is S.S. washable? What products can be used?
S.S. can be washed provided it has been treated with "Cera del Vecchio" (Antique Wax). It can be washed with soap and water. If necessary, touch up using "Cera del Vecchio" (Antique Wax).
- How many years does it last?
When applied properly, it lasts at least 10 years.
- Can it be applied in the bathroom?
Yes, but some precautions must be taken. Where it is continually struck by water, it must be treated using "Cera del Vecchio". On ceilings, and on surface areas above tiles S.S. is left in its natural state, as its transpiration qualities allow condensate to escape.
