If I seem beat up in this video, keep in mind, I’m no spring chicken.
Even when I operated 15 men’s crews for twenty years, I never asked any of my men or daughters to do something I wouldn’t do myself. Meaning I spread a lot of mud on this day.
Damn good thing I love doing this stuff.

In this video, I’m working with my sons Jason, Carl, and Dan; we are or were applying the second coat of stucco, and we are showing how to hard rubber float the cured or set second coat with these stucco walls.

Below are all the basic tools we use and recommend on Amazon’s website.

FYI, the caulkings used were the first Sikaflex-1a is a premium-grade, high-performance, moisture-cured polyurethane-based, non-sag elastomeric adhesive sealant if it gets on anything, it’s there to stay, like luggage. https://usa.sika.com/

The second is Mor-Flexx it lets you cover up unsightly cracks, so no one will know they existed. It’s designed for brick grout and many other things.

It’s water soluble; thus, when it drys, it will naturally be lighter, no doubt.
But it won’t even be noticeable after a month of weather, dust, dirt, and grimness.

Howdy all, when getting ready to stucco any kind of porch or roof, you should place your stucco weep or drip screed at least a half inch to two inches above the floor deck or roof.
Why? Excellent question; stucco lasts forever, but porches and roofs do not. Who wants to break out stucco to replace a porch? The answer is no one.

How to smooth out a new stucco sandy texture

By

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.
