What happens here

Select the correct roller nap size based on the roughness of the stucco surface. For stucco with a less coarse texture, a 3/8-inch nap is appropriate, as it minimizes splatter. For very rough stucco, a 1-inch nap should be used to ensure the paint penetrates all depressions. Using a nap that is too large for the surface can lead to excessive splatter, increasing cleanup time and potentially compromising the finish.

Goal: Choose the right roller nap for effective paint application and minimal splatter.

back roll. 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.
