What happens here

Immediately after the sprayer applies paint, the back-roller must follow quickly. Stucco absorbs paint rapidly, causing it to dry fast. The back-roller’s primary role is to push the wet paint into all the pinholes, small hairline fractures, and textures of the stucco. This requires applying enough pressure with the roller to force the product into these imperfections. The choice of roller nap is crucial: for this task, a 3/8-inch nap was used, but for very rough stucco, a 1-inch nap might be needed. Be mindful that larger naps can cause more splatter. Insufficient pressure or allowing the paint to dry too much will result in dry-napping marks and a blotchy finish, failing to effectively fill cracks and create a smooth surface.

Goal: Push paint into stucco cracks and textures for a smooth, even finish

One of the important things to back rolling your stuckle is actually choosing the right roller. So you can get them, you know, anywhere from 3/8 in um nap to a 1in nap. So if you got really really rough stuckco, you're going to want to jump up into a 1in nap. But choosing the right nap is is also important because if you get too big of a nap and you don't need it, the larger the nap, the more it splatters. So, I don't need it right here. And if I'm using a 1-in nap, it's going to cause more splatter, which I don't want. So, just using a 3/8 in nap on this task here. You actually see the cardboard shield holders he's actually using. We actually sell that on my Amazon store on my website, the idaho.com. So, if you want to get one of those cardboard shield holders and cardboard shields, they're pretty convenient, handy to use. [Music] Go back. Come out. Hi. Hi. So, we got a bush that we're working around right here. We got it tied back with some plastic. Actually have a video on how to tie back bushes when you're spraying a house. You can go check it out on my channel. Teaches you how to use 9x400 plastic to tie a bush back. With doing stuckco, it makes it way easier if you have two people doing it, one person back rolling, one person spraying, cuz the the paint has a tendency because of the stuckle, the nature of the stuckco absorbs all the water, dries really quickly. It coagulates really fast and and which causes a problem because you really don't have anything to backrow cuz it's drying so fast. One of the key aspects of actually backing this Stuckco is when you're back on it, what you're wanting to do is actually put enough pressure with a large enough nap or roller, which a lot with a large enough nap to actually push the paint into or the product into all the pin holes and small hairline fractures and the stucco. And you want to put enough pressure to push it in there. get enough paint to push it in there so you get a nice smooth, even looking surface when you're done.
