Only such part of the surface is wetted which can be painted in a day. A mixture of some ground plaster and fresco lime is prepared to the consistency of the cream and applied to the surface in two or three coatings rubbed well with a flat stone. After this two or three coatings of fresco lime are applied rubbed over with a flat stone. When these coatings are a little dry the surface is polished with an agate burnisher to impart it a beautiful sheen (cf. E. B. Havell, Indian Sculpture and Painting)—Moti Chand (M. P. pp. 13-14).
