How to smooth out a new stucco sandy texture

May 9, 2021 By Stucco Plastering

Hello ladies and gentlemen, I’m explaining a widespread and very common thing in the plastering industry in this quick video.
Yes, I realize it’s soupy mud.

All of us plasterers have a slightly different texture, kinda like a fingerprint.

Although we were as good as the next guy, no one was perfect.
Here’s another tip, when you have a house with at least 20 paint jobs, it’s best to roll two coats of primer and paint to soften the new stucco sand to blend in the new color and texture as best as possible.
No folks, an airless won’t spay a primmer as heavy as necessary over new sandy stucco.

Stucco Cold joint explained, stucco fence neighbors view, privacy stucco fence, sand stucco finish

 I thought the back of this wood fence would be an ideal spot to explain the dreaded cold joints and how to avoid them, so here it is, in this video titled stucco cold joint's with my explanation.&#x1f609;

No, my friends and brothers, not Gonja joints, but instead stucco cold joints. Don’t allow cold joints in stucco. Gonja, that another story.🕺🏻

This stucco fence also allows privacy from neighbors’ views.
We decided to give it a sand stucco finish, explaining why that’s a good finish as sand or float finish blends into almost anything.
Remember to plaster corner to corner to avoid having a cold-joint.

This is the rear of a fence, but a cold-joint is reason enough to have to apply another color finish if it’s on the front of a home. As it will be noticeable where you last stopped with the brown coat, by weird color variations ghosting through.

stucco a new finish coat and texture over old stucco walls

May 16, 2020 By Stucco Plastering

stucco a new finish coat and texture over old stucco walls

Howdy, ladies and gentlemen, In this video, we explain how to apply a new stucco finish coat and texture over old stucco.

Homeowners, instead of painting, ask for a new integrated colored stucco finish. These never again need images.
Plus, they are 50 to 70 times as thick as paint, depending on the sand girt necessary or required to accomplish what we want.

Or, as they say in the UK, to spread an integrated color finish coat over an existing brown coat.

This video about applying a stucco color finish or stucco resurfacing are a few plastering tips to minimize any future cracking in these stucco walls.
A stucco basecoat can sit for a year or forever; no rules or codes say a stucco base-coat needs to be color-coated or painted.
However, the home won’t be as pretty if not painted or color coated.

I explained what I thought was happening as to why some walls had vertical cracking and horizontal cracking.
Note: also vertical cracking is expected in the second coat of stucco; however, horizontal cracking is not expected or normal.
Many factors can contribute to horizontal cracking too much to name here; hairline cracking is normal and expected while the basecoat of stucco is curing.
A few of the cracks on some of the walls were over what we call hairline but instead structural, meaning the walls were moving slightly more than average.

All went well as expected so much; in fact, this color finish was fun to apply.
Note also, I applied two types of finishes for uniqueness with depth and beauty.
A finish was troweled on, which we then used a sponge float to bring out the sand. When this sand finish was set, we applied a skip trowel finish to match both homes next to it.
Tip: One can learn to plaster in a couple of years, but material knowledge and what can be expected requires some real-time investment.

I’ve had hundreds of comments like this: I hired a guy to apply a stucco color, and now that he has finished, you can see these lines right through the paint, giving the house a zebra effect.
That’s what we call ghosting. Don’t do that!
