      • Applying the First Coat: A trowel is used to apply the first base coat evenly over the surface. This coat serves as the foundation and should cover the surface completely.
      • Drying: The first coat is allowed to dry completely, which typically takes several hours, depending on humidity and temperature.

  • Second Base Coat Application:

  • Preparation: The second base coat is mixed to the desired consistency.
  • Texturing: The second coat is applied over the first using a trowel. At this stage, the desired texture is created, using sweeping motions or specific patterns to achieve a rugged, tactile appearance.
