in this video i go step by step showing how to properly apply Smooth Finish Stucco .

[@JoseGomez-zg3tm]

I was doing smooth finish in 2007 and foam shape products I do my own work at my house . 2011 started truck driving good job brought back memories 😀take care bro

[@steverodgers9206]

A lot of people are going with the smooth stucco modern looking finish on the exterior of homes. It gives it that expensive very modern and simple look.

[@risingsun82]

Yeah French style

[@jaime5095]

How much ??

[@72c20]

Looks clean man. Santa Barbara/smooth texture is tricky to do. You guys did a good job

[@gulllllll1]

That’s awesome . I’m so glad you floated the first coat , that made me so happy , seen a lot of people online not even making the walls flat . Brilliant work and good timing .

[@AllAroundTube50]

Can you do this over existing painted stucco (our house has a rough coat over it but we want a SB smooth mission finish)? Do I use an adhesive first and then two coats of stucco?

[@sergioalonzo3767]

You need to sandblasting your house to take off paint, you can't put stucco over paint it will come out.

[@gulllllll1]

B D you may be able to find a product that has adhesive properties to apply first so the render or stucco can take over the top . We have stuff that can go directly over paint in Australia , it has chemicals and stuff in it to make it stick . Check with your local Supplier about options and different products to use . Don’t know shit about stucco . We use sand and cement and polymer base renders .

2022, Can you apply a smooth coat on an already textured wall?

[@zuleymajohnson4152]

Hello, what color did you use for this home? I’m currently looking at the sample brochure for colortek and I really like this color you’re applying.

[@coleplatt4869]

Does the second coat have to go on right away or can you wait a day or two?

[@incawarrior1000]

Nice work what pouch do you have on your back Gr

[@andrewandbrendan]

Any tips on preventing burn marks / grey streaks when you finish trowel? Is it just keep it damp and not going too fast?

[@butopiatoo]

No scratch coat? Do you do an impregnated color coat? Beautiful work.

[@zofran60]

thank you for Sharing you guys are awesome can share what stucco u used and which float?

[@drewd7824]

Do you have a tool list you would need to do this job?

[@dbasix-ocho-zero-cinco]

can you float new smooth stucco over existing painted 60yo old stucco house??

[@drewd7824]

What type of “mud” can you use? I’ve heard of additives, what are they for? Can you paint this to give it more protection? I’ve heard some paint has polymer or elastomeric or something so it’s like almost a colored glue so it helps keep the stucco from chipping by bonding it and is like an additional layer on top of the stucco that protects it and would have to get through the paint to expose the raw stucco. Thank you, I’m trying to get this figured all out so there is a logical step process to doing this and knowing the materials, tools and techniques.

[@analynbriones-real2358]

You can use cement sealer after the application of stucco cement. You can also change the color of the pigment being added to portland cement to create other colorsm

[@betobeto7903]

Great vedio! thanks, question, what type of stucco process would you recommend and that you would use for your house?

[@shenoyglobal]

what is the closest color finish and texture to marble?

[@therealdeal26]

Hey nice work man! If you get the chance to do a 20/30 sand finish please post the vid. Thanks!

[@elcuervororas5652]

I hope. You put standar mesh and dry bond base coat other ways those walls is goin to crack very much

[@kneecase]

Question: I have a smooth white stucco exterior like the one you have in the video. When it rains, the white color seems faded/discolored and looks not so nice, but when dry it seems to be ok and the white pops out again. Could there be a problem with the way stucco was applied?

[@pandaplastering2466]

perfectly normal. all smooth finish stucco will do this unless painted.

[@hamzarashed90]

Any cementios finish darkens with water or rain when its dry again it goes back to normal,thats one of the reasons why acrylic is better and more expensive...

[@vivianabalbuena]

Great Job! What’s the brand you use?

[@Comin_at_U_Live]

[@nicelydunwell5681]

[@Tmankali]

Not sure why, but contractors don't reccomend steel trough smooth finish as it'll crack first couple rain. Is it true? I really want a smooth finish

[@alvarosolano6569]

Beautiful work

[@ericcustis6105]

what type of stucco did you use cement or acrylic

[@leodelarosa8892]

I’f my house has medium coarse stucco can I just apply this on top and be ok? Or would I have to re do the scratch step and start from beginning all over again? What do you recommend ?

[@bigbellyflyer]

Yes you can apply another coat. If you have painted then you would apply an adhesive coat . If you want smooth trowel, then you should apply a fiberglass Netting embedded into bond coat (mesh coat) this will reduce cracking. Then smooth trowel finish. Please note : image imperfect smooth trowel finish. That is how we list this on our contracts.

[@joseromo960]

Does the stucco white color gets brighter?

[@JorgeRamos-xw6dy]

Looks great. Thx

[@timheasman2984]

Also , is there a product to patch smooth stucco ? After many years and coats of paint the surface is smooth, and most stucco patch is 16/20, and does not match. Any advice appreciated

[@pandaplastering2466]

you can try Wunderfixx made by Rapidset. sand it until smooth and paint over it.

Looks great! Is this some sort of color coat? Any way to refresh old painted stucco and make look like in the video?

[@issacleon4950]

Search up fog coat

[@user-zw4ii3pt8e]

From the beginning it was best if you painted over the smooth coat instead of having to fog since it doesn’t stick into the smooth , there is no point of fogging a smooth coat

[@MasaMuneDenadoro]

After I power wash my old textured stucco, can I just apply this directly? Do I need to use a concrete bonding glue or something?

[@TheLordmewtwo]

You can apply it directly assuming your wall is straight, and also assuming your old stucco is not painted. If it's painted, you need to use bonding glue like weldcrete and roll it on the wall with a painter's roller

[@juancortes5876]

Do you use only the stainless steel trowel for applying and floating the walls? Great vid by the way. Thank you

[@alexgoky2623]

There’s a plastic one you can use for the the second coat
