What happens here
After sanding, use a stiff Venetian trowel to 'burnish' or polish the wall. Hold the trowel at a very shallow angle and apply light pressure, almost just gliding it across the surface with a few fingers. This action will further rub down the paint, creating more depth, enhancing the highlights, and making the wall extremely smooth, almost glass-like to the touch. This step brings out the full 'polished concrete' effect.
Goal: Use a stiff Venetian trowel to burnish the sanded surface, enhancing depth and highlights.
