I'm about to embark on a venetian plaster project in our kitchen
(faux). Wife likes Benjamin Moore, so thats the venetian plaster we
went with. I notice that their application instructions are
completely different than the others (Behr, Valspar). While Behr,
etc. recommends two coats with a trowel, BM recommends rolling on the
first coat, trowel the second...
Why the difference? Just to make it easier? I've not seen any
venetian plaster instructions that had rolling as an option until
Benjamin Moore.
Still considering troweling on both coats - seems like that would
create more depth, unless some experts here say I should stick to
their instructions and roll on the first coat...

I'm confused... :-(

Get some drywall scraps from HD and experiment.
