What happens here

Address any damaged or peeling areas of stucco. If the existing color coat is peeling, use a wire brush to remove all loose and flaking material. Once the surface is clean and stable, apply a coat of an elastomeric coating, such as Sherlastic, over the repaired area. This coating acts as a primer and helps to glue and seal the surface, providing a durable base for the new paint. For wood door jambs or trim with exposed knots, sand the areas thoroughly and then apply a primer like 'Peel Bond' to seal the knots and prevent sap bleed-through, which can stain the final paint coat.

Goal: Prepare damaged stucco and wood surfaces for painting.

Anywhere where we got cracks in the stucco, we put cocking in the cracks and we smear it around and try to blend it in and feather it in so you don't um see that crack anymore. But you don't want it to be really smooth. So you see a smooth line when it's painted. You want it to blend into the stucco. So you want to work it down into the stucco, just
