How to do interior stucco technique?
I want to do my walls in the stucco look, then do a faux finish over it. Do I apply a smooth coat of texture, then a second coat and apply a trowel to it?
Answer: No scratch coat is necessary if you use drywall mud.
The plus side of using drywall compound is the price, it's MUCH less than an italian plaster.
The down side is that it will chip very easily on your walls.l
If you decide to use drywall mud, all you need to do is roll it on your walls and smooth it down, in arch movements. You can even "pop" it with the trowel to create more depth and indentations.
Then base coat it with your paint, let that dry 24 hours.
Apply your glaze.
Voila, you've just created a French Country Italian Plaster in a 30 second lesson......:-)
