Application of the surface
Stolit Milano spotting technique, two-coloured – a surface inspiration from the Designer Collection 2012/13
The international team of StoDesigners meets every two years to
determine the surfaces, textures and colours that have a future.
The current “Designer Collection 12/13“ comprises ten studies of
surfaces for wall designs which are far from conventional.
The surfaces and textures created are the result of the combination
of high-quality products and expert craftsmanship and skills
as opposed to the result of finished industrial products. Therefore,
the surface studies are to be seen as unique rather than
standardised surfaces. This fact must be taken into account when
adapting these surfaces for actual projects, as well as the fact
that a project- and not only the product-related degree of planning
and practice beforehand are absolutely essential! It is the
creation of an adequately dimensioned sample area on the actual
object by the applicator that reflects what can be built on in
relation to the project. A sample board does not achieve this level
of bindingness!
In the practical reproduction of the surface studies, we also
request you to observe the following: The substrates must be
tested for suitability prior to the application of the product and
pretreated in accordance with the Technical Data Sheets. Furthermore,
the limitations with regard to the size of the surface area,
colour selection etc. must be taken into consideration.
Minor deviations in relation to products or designations are
possible according to the region/country. Therefore, please
contact your Sto partner before planning a surface from the
DC Collection!

Top coat
Info
A colour-matched, adhesion-promoting coat of Sto-Primer is
recommended for mineral substrates.
Organic substrates can be directly worked on. However, it makes sense
to adjust the colour. A reinforcement layer of at least 3.5 mm is
prescribed on external wall insulation systems and ventilated
rainscreen-cladding systems. A particular evenness of the surface is a
prerequisite, if necessary, levelling filler coatings should be planned
here.
3b
Using a moist Sto-Latex Sponge
(08241-002) float-finish the layer at once
until it is pore-free, applying light
pressure. (Slightly moisten the Sto-Latex
Sponge using a water spray bottle).
Leave the coating to dry.
Unless described otherwise, the regulations of the
relevant Technical Data Sheet are applicable for
Stolit Milano.
1
Apply one or more coats of Stolit Milano
in the required colour shade as a priming
or equalisation levelling coat with the
stainless steel Sto-Smoothing Trowel
(08288-030).
4
Apply Stolit Milano in a second colour
shade as an open, coarsely spotted
coating. The material is applied to the
surface and smoothed into a smudge
with the stainless steel Sto-Smoothing
Trowel (08288-030) held flat. Layer
thickness of the spotted coating approx.
1 – 1.5 mm.
2
If spatula burrs/ trowel grooves are visible
after drying, plane these. Then remove
any dust from the surface.
5
The individual spotted filler layers and/or
their transitions are smoothened to be
pore-free using a slightly moistened (not
wet) Sto-Latex Sponge (08241-002).
Then leave to dry! The final spotting
effect mainly depends on the selected
Stolit Milano colour tone. Repeat the
application step if required.
3a
Apply Stolit Milano in the same colour
shade as a thin-layer intermediate filler
coat with the stainless steel
Sto-Smoothing Trowel (08288-030).
Colour shade/L*:
The lightness value should not fall below 15 as the Stolit Milano
finishing render would otherwise have a stronger tendency to
chalking with visible lightening of the colour shade.
Size of the surface area:
No limitations
Miscellaneous:
Prior to application, a sample/ reference surface should always
be created in the size adapted to the project.
Not suitable for all EWI systems.
The use within the system must be verified both with regard to
national regulations and in relation to the project.

and practice beforehand are absolutely essential! It is the
creation of an adequately dimensioned sample area on the actual
object by the applicator that reflects what can be built on in
relation to the project. A sample board does not achieve this level
of bindingness!
In the practical reproduction of the surface studies, we also
request you to observe the following: The substrates must be
tested for suitability prior to the application of the product and
pretreated in accordance with the Technical Data Sheets. Furthermore,
the limitations with regard to the size of the surface area,
colour selection etc. must be taken into consideration.
Minor deviations in relation to products or designations are
possible according to the region/country. Therefore, please
contact your Sto partner before planning a surface from the
DC Collection!

Info
A colour-matched, adhesion-promoting coat of Sto-Primer is
recommended for mineral base coats. Organic substrates can be
directly worked on.
Unless described otherwise, the regulations of the
relevant Technical Data Sheet are applicable for the
products used.
Apply Stolit Effect with the stainless steel
Sto-Smoothing Trowel (08288-030) to
about the guiding grain size.
Colour shade/L*:
The lightness value should not fall below 15 as the Stolit Effect
finishing render would otherwise have a stronger tendency to
chalking with visible lightening of the colour shade.
Size of the surface area:
maximum 40 m²
Miscellaneous:
Prior to application, a sample/ reference surface should always
be created in the size adapted to the project.
Not suitable for all EWI systems.
The use within the system must be verified both with regard to
national regulations and in relation to the project.

Then texture the wet render directly in the
desired direction using the Sto-Texturing
Brush (08218-003). While texturing, hold
the brush with its handle flat to the render
surface going back and forth in short brush
movements of approx. 60 to 70 cm. Ensure
that the brush transition is directed towards
the neighbouring brush seam and
applied in an offset manner (analogous to
masonry offset).

Blow in the StoEffect Vetro effect mixture
as a reflective effect coating into the wet
finishing render (see TM StoEffect Vetro)
working from top to bottom and with
gentle circulatory movements.

Application of the surface
StoColor Metallic on StoTap Infinity 1006 – a surface inspiration from the Designer Collection 2012/13
The international team of StoDesigners meets every two years to
determine the surfaces, textures and colours that have a future.
The current “Designer Collection 12/13“ comprises ten studies of
surfaces for wall designs which are far from conventional.
The surfaces and textures created are the result of the combination
of high-quality products and expert craftsmanship and skills
as opposed to the result of finished industrial products. Therefore,
the surface studies are to be seen as unique rather than
standardised surfaces. This fact must be taken into account when
adapting these surfaces for actual projects, as well as the fact
that a project- and not only the product-related degree of planning
and practice beforehand are absolutely essential! It is the
creation of an adequately dimensioned sample area on the actual
object by the applicator that reflects what can be built on in
relation to the project. A sample board does not achieve this level
of bindingness!
In the practical reproduction of the surface studies, we also

Stir the wallpaper paste according to the
manufacturer‘s instructions (Metylan TG
Power Granulate 1:25, Metylan NP Power
Granulate plus 1:10) and apply a sufficient
amount of the paste uniformly across
a width of 1 – 2 strips onto the wall.
Insert the StoTap Infinity 1006 embossed
wallpaper into the wet wallpaper paste
without any bubbles and so that it abuts.
Immediately wipe off any wallpaper paste
soiling on the surface with a moist, clean
cloth. The wallpaper has no soak time!
Apply two coats of StoColor Opticryl Matt
in the required colour shade onto to the
dried wallpaper using a short-pile roller.
Leave the surface to dry.
Info
Note:
The feather spring spatula should be cleaned with a cloth or
something similar after every time material is trowelled off.
Slight irregularities in the surface are part of this technique and are
desired.
Tipp
The third step should be carried out with two or more applicators.
3a
Apply an undiluted coat of
StoColor Metallic evenly with a short-pile
roller.
3b
While it is still wet, trowel it off using the
Sto-Feather Spring Spatula (0823-001) in
the direction of the embossment,
applying slight pressure.
The Sto-Feather Spring Spatula (0823-001
should be cleaned after every time
material is trowelled off.
