How to Stucco Your Home?

For an intriguing look to either the outside or inside walls of your home, stucco is a great choice. The process involved is easy and fun. By following these easy steps, you'll have your stucco project finished in no time at all. These steps can be used when doing either an inside or an outside stucco project.Step 1:Apply a bonding agent using a paintbrush so that the stucco will adhere well to the wood or concrete. When the bonding material has a tacky feel to it, it is ready for the stucco to be applied.Step 2:Choose your stucco. Stucco can be purchased either pre-mixed or you can mix it yourself. The pre-mixed stucco will be easier and will give the perfect consistency you'll need, but may be a bit more expensive. Pre-mixed stucco can also have color added. You'll also have a choice on whether you'd like a fine, medium, or coarse sand finish.Step 3:Put a good amount of stucco on your hawk (a flat, metal tool that holds the stucco as you apply it). Using your trowel, apply the first layer of stucco with large circular motions. This will be the base of the stucco so you do not need to be meticulous in how it looks. Let this coat dry.Step 4:Apply the second coat of stucco. This is where your talent comes in. You can use short strokes or larger strokes depending on the design you would like. If you'd like a smooth stucco finish, use a large sponge dipped in water to smooth your stucco out as you go. Start in the corners of the wall and work your way inward so you don't sponge the material off of the corners.Now you are ready to sit back and enjoy your new look. When sharing your finished project with your friends, you needn't let them in on how easy your stucco project was to complete.

Mixed urethane clear with base coat?

sure, it is called bace coat/clear coat system and they have been doing it since 1986 ish. Spray your bace till covered let it dry tack cloth the finish then spray your clear, follow directions on can I think the question is whether or not to mix the base coat WITH the clear before applying. It will defeat the purpose of the clear coat as a UV protectant to the base coat. You can do it but I certainly would not recommend it.

Can you paint acrylic enamel paint over base coat paint?

If the base coat used in your project is water base then yes, you bet you can. If there is any chance that the base coat used was an oil base paint then you cannot paint directly over it. The acrylic enamel will not adhere to the oil base paint and will begin to peel off as soon as it is dry. In which case a coat of primer is in order.


Who sells a stucco called rock dash or pebble dash or slap dash?

"Pebble dash" isn't a type of stucco material, it's a technique for applying the stucco. Immediately after regular stucco is applied to the wall, pebbles or small rocks are thrown against the wall surface so that they stick to the wet stucco finish. Successfully applying the finish requires some skill and practice. Pebble dash stucco was particularly popular in mission/bungalow buildings of the early 20th century.
