I would like to have the US expression, translation, for the Australian "bagged brick".?

Question

I am translating an architectural text from Spanish to English and I came across "ladrillo bolseado" (an economical way of smoothing and texturing brick which gives an attractive rustic texture and fills pointing prior to painting). The immediate translation into English is "bagged brick". Just checking, I searched it with Yahoo and it returned hundreds of pages. To my surprise, all of them from Australia! Not a single page from the USA... since my translation is for use in the USA, I need the American expression for the "Australian bagged brick".

Answer 1

bagged brick down under is using mortar and a hessian bag. the mortar is similar consistancy to that used in laying the bricks. it is rubbed onto the finished brickwork with the hessian bag resulting in a rough textured finish. hope that helps get the explanation.

Answer 2

The brick is a small deer that is found primary in the Northern Territory. It is primarily hunted at night using the lights from
Landrovers to illuminate the target. After the the kill the Aussies
refer to it as a "bagged brick".
The meat is gamey tasting but that suits the taste buds of those
that inhabit that region of Australia.
Brick tags are expensive at $600 (Australian) $450 U.S.

Answer 3

I think what he is referring to is economical way o smoothing and texturing brick prior to plastering ....and I'm not so sure but I think maybe Stucco or Spanish Plaster would be the right "American" translation. Hopefully someone that knows more about construction will be able to clarify.
