I agree with that other guy that commented it doesn't take 15 years to learn lace texture. I patched a section of my wall and it's really quite easy after watching a few videos and their technique. The hard part is matching the color 100%. Maybe it seemed easy because I have done alot of drywall mudding. I don't know.

The irony of watching these videos to learn for one off DIY Kirk "it will take you ten years to get good at this" DIYers "Well, it is a three day weekend"

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good morning SZ dude, sort of kinda true, but if someone has these issues, this video does plant a seed of the know-how that's necessary to correct the situation. I believe your right it would take many a long time to learn; however, we teach the apprentices and professional around the world our methods. There are some who, like me, maybe dull in some directions, but their minds neurons fires in this direction.😉 Note: to all subscribers or anyone who stumbles on our channel with a question, type it into our Stucco/Plastering channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it's done.

[@scottwright4330]

Great video as always. Skip troweling or as we call it here in Florida texturing cant be learned from a video. Takes years of practice. I generally slightly float all my walls. The raised sand finish grabs my texture. Ends up being a pretty lace. It's nice to see another craftsman at work. On to the next one.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Scott Dude my fellow plasterer, I could not have said that better, in fact that an excellent way of explaining what is going on. I do this too often it's a float finish with a light lace finish, I call it a duel elegant finish. Live long and plaster Stucco/Plastering images and teaching video’s

[@R2Mike]

you always say cement in your mixes...do I use Portland or can you use a mortar mix? I wasn't sure if it was as strong. last question, how many square feet does a dryvit bucket even go??

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Mike Portland is cement plaster, Mortar is just another name for muck, mud, plaster, render, stucco, cement plaster etc. A bucket of any acrylic finish will go 6 to 20 yards depending on the sand size (aggregate) Live long and Plaster images for stucco/plastering and teaching video’s

I am trying to match this finish on this video, starts around 50 sec. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iomydqysqL-Jg9U Is his trowel actually touching the wall or is there a constant layer of stucco between trowel and wall? I keep trying, with different trowel angles, soft and hard mix, but cannot seem to get it. He makes it look sooo easy.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Morning Push pull dude, when texturing this skip trowel finish, allow the wall to pull the mud of your trowel, it does take some practice, but you should be fine if you give it a try. Live long and plaster Plastering and repair tips for your home

You told that secret. I knew that was fine sand to get the lace pattern. People think one word = Lowes. You need to go to the specialized yards that sell those products. And they are much cheaper than Lowes and Home Depot.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good evening, my Man. There are no secrets to most trades; there is just common sense that comes from years of practice. The material used here is a La Habra fine finish. The grain of sand is called a 20/30 sand finish or medium sand. We buy our materials from professional Plastering yards like "Westside Building Materials," which caters to us licensed professionals. We have to buy and use the best materials as as clients or businesses depends on quality.

from your video, at 1:39 you said this house is 77 years old. built in 1950 and you say it is 2017 now, so it is about 77 years old... it 66 years old...
