Epoca Marmor 949 enables a modern lime pressing technique based on high-quality, long-matured slaked lime. Thanks to the mineral pigments, a natural marbled effect full of brilliance and depth is created in just two coats. The silky, shimmering surface creates a typical Mediterranean ambience. Depending on the finish, the surface can be matt or silk matt. If antique soap is applied in addition, an impressive marble-like shine is achieved (antique technique).

Instructions for processing Epoca marble

1. Substrate preparation

Thorough preparation of the substrate is crucial for adhesion and the final result:

Cleaning the surfaces: The surfaces to be treated should be carefully cleaned to remove dust and dirt.
Removing loose parts: All loose materials must be removed to ensure an even surface.
Consolidation of highly absorbent substrates: These should be treated with a deep primer.
Priming smooth surfaces: For smooth substrates, we recommend using Iso-Mineralgrund 309 adhesive primer to optimize adhesion for the subsequent layers.

2. Smoothing technique

Apply Epoca Marmor undiluted in 2 thin coats with a stainless steel trowel (Venetian smoothing trowel) in any direction. Allow to dry for 12 hours between coats. After the first coat, remove any burrs or sand finely. Without further treatment, the surface will be matt. If a silk matt finish is desired, the surface can be finished immediately after drying by pressing with the JAEGER smoothing trowel.

3. Soaping and polishing

To protect the surface and as a polishing aid, apply 1–2 coats of JAEGER Antique Soap 985 thinly with a trowel/brush, depending on the desired effect. Immediately after application, rub off any excess material with a cotton cloth.

4. Coloring (optional)

For color design, e.g., concrete look, the antique soap can be colored with max. 3% JAEGER mineral color concentrate. The antique soap increases the gloss level and intensifies the colors.

Processing conditions

During the entire processing and drying time, the material, substrate, and air temperature must not fall below 8 °C or exceed 30 °C. The air humidity should be between 30% RH and 75% RH during the entire time.
