Sometimes It’s hard to know to understand the process, but when you see it done it makes sense and it’s easier than expected. Thanks for watching.

Anytime. Thanks for watching.

Right on man. Time and patience is the key. I hope my videos give you an idea on how to make the repairs. Best of luck.

Thank you. We can only try our best.

Sending good vibes

Thank you sir. I always tried.

That’s a good idea. I feel that it hides the patch better when I zig zag around the patch than to leave the original texture in a straight line. I would think that if I try to match an existing texture, it’ll be easier to spot that way than to blending it in scraping the edges off zig zagging the texture off. That’s the way I was taught and its worked out for me, but I’m sure that worked well as well.

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

Thank you Sir. I was blessed on having old timers teach me their skills. Thanks for watching.

Best of luck man. 👍🏽

Thank you. Oh ok. I’ve never tried or seen a plasterer with my eyes done it. I’ve seen it on couple videos here on KZfaq. Maybe where they live, it’s a more common finish. We use hawks and trowels here 😆. Patience and practice pays off so you’ll be that much better next time. Btw Fountain Valley is a beautiful place to live.

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

@@veronicagranados8190 this was once upon a time. It was fun while it lasted, but I have moved away from stucco. Thanks for watching though. I hope you watching the process helped.

Thanks

Thank you. Good question. First you have to wait for the first coat to dry a little. A good way to know when it’s ready to texture is to gently put your hand against the stucco. If a little bit of stucco gets stuck to your hand, then you’re gold. The consistency depends on the texture. The thicker the texture, the longer you should wait for it to apply. Also, once you apply it, how much pressure you use to “smooth” out the texture is important. I hope this helps.

@@blackhemi8 Thank you for responding and this was a huge help. Thank you 😊

It’s what we call a brown float in the field. It is kinda like a brown rubbery float. I used a Darby and then float it with the brown float. I hope this helped.

I believe it’s called a heavy lace finish. Popular back in the day.

Is your house painted or does it have the original stucco? If the house is painted, you can remove for example, the electrical box cover and have them match the color. If it isn’t painted, then you would have to fog coat it. I have couple videos on how to march stucco colors.

@@blackhemi8 It's painted a light tan color like the wall in this video, the stucco color underneath is a real dark grey color so it really stands out when a chunk is missing. That's a good idea with the electrical box cover. I wonder if I can just bring a screw from it? I'm unlucky enough to have an HoA inspector come by right after I remove it.

@@llandy123 I would take anything bigger than a quarter size item . Their machine will not detect anything smaller than that. If there is anything in the back that you can remove to get it color match than all power to you. If not, your best bet will be the electrical panel cover. Good luck.

At this point yes. Matching the existing texture as close as possible and getting it ready for it to be painted.

Hey, I apologize. I did not. Resend it at Blackhemi8@yahoo.com I also checked my spam and nothing.

@@blackhemi8 try now

@ yeah that’s solid work 👍🏽. It’s smooth enough that I think you knocked it out of the park. No too shabby for your first patch. All you need is to paint it and I think you’ll be good.

@@blackhemi8 thanks man the color coat stuff I’m sure is a whole other trade to learn but yeah I’m surprised how many bad patches there are
