Thank you, it changed my world for applying stucco. Typically we call this an application tool and not a finish texture sprayer. It is great for getting 1/8" to 1" of material on the wall with less effort than using a hawk and trowel. Once it is on the wall, most users will us a trowel to make the final shape. Some have used different sands to get the desired texture.
We have more stucco application information in our stucco section.
Best regards,

Man that's slick. Very little waste it looks like.
How uniform is coat thickness, is it closer than using a hawk and trowel?
