Makhmalia requires a flexible stainless steel Venetian trowel or specialized plastic finishing spatula to create its characteristic crushed-velvet light effects.
The standard system involves a matching tinted basecoat followed by two thin, trowel-applied coats of Makhmalia worked in circular or criss-cross movements.
Once fully cured, Makhmalia is gently wipeable with a damp, soft cloth. However, because of its delicate velvet appearance, it is best reserved for accent walls rather than high-impact corridor baseboards.
