Howdy guys and gals, in this video my boys and I explain how to apply a Santa Barbara Smooth Mission Finish to stucco walls. This material is the finest grit sand you can purchase for an exterior finish. It’s almost as smooth as taping mud, but not quite as it does have fine sand. Therefor you must have clean tools such as a mixer which should be pounded out the day before, wheel barrels, buckets, shovels and hawks and trowel very clean. One tiny piece of sand will cause a whole lot of extra time to remove and continue. This video is for my pal, Gil Valaquez, Gil asked me to show and explain the way I spread out Santa Barbara Smooth Mission Finish.

Howdy folk, in this video Jason, Dan and I conclude a Santa Barbara Smooth Mission Stucco Finish on a house we stared before the rains held us off. We simply show our methods of applying this particular Mediterranean home stucco finish as every plastering fella may do something a bit different then the next guy.
I have done in the past, say in the early 90′s many of these finishes. This past experience provides me the luxury of knowing what to do and what not to do.
Like pounding out the mixer, wheel barrels for any and all loose stucco grit. A grain of regular sand or dirt will destroy the amount of time it takes to apply this type of finish.
However, many of my former clients wanted and were sometimes very adamant about having color variations, trowel marks, cat faces, and float marks and so on as it usually gives the home a more lived in look with charm and character.
