Get rubber gloves, plastic container or wheel barrow, hose, stick/trowel, stucco mix. Wet the wall, don't do this on a hot day, cool cloudy day is best. The wall needs to be free of mud and dirt and grease. The longer the stucco stays wet the stronger it will be. Put on the gloves. Put 1/4 of a sack of stucco in the plastic container/wheel barrow. Add water a little at a time and stir the mix. Stop adding water when the stucco at the bottom gets wet. Mix more. Add water only a little at a time and mix. When it is thicker than pancake batter it is OK. Add more dry stucco powder of too runny, add more water if to dry. Let sit 15 minutes. Take a ball of stucco in one hand and smear it on the wall. The thickness can be adjusted by you. All the kids will want to join, it is lots of fun. Mix more as needed. Wash the kids and cloths asap. Mist the wall(lightly) 6 to 12 hours later, wet every 12 hours for a day or two. Wait a month or more to paint.<br><b>References : </b><br> Wear old cloths.
