What is the easiest way to dyi stucco?

Answer 1

I'm sure you'll get many variations on the theme.

I personally haven't used Concrete/Mortar based stucco in 15 years. I use a Fiberglass based product. It applies the same; sets as well; and lasts as long; and can be finished the same.

Trowels; rectangular or pointed as Mortar is generally applied. You can use Mesh, but I don't always. Sweeping motions in various directions to affect texture; depth; etc.

Think of it like spreading cake icing.

Certainly there could be more peripheral details, but I see no need. It's not at all a difficult task.

Answer 2

Don't do an area that is too large to handle at time. Due to you may not in shape to use that trowel so much.
