[GBlist] final coat of traditional stucco

[Sacie H Lambertson <dlambert@grasshoppernet.com>]

We're about to finish the brown, or second coat of a 3 coat stucco job on
both the interior and exterior of a house.  I want the final, interior coat
to look like plaster, ie smooth and slightly undulating in a nice hand-done
look.  Will in fact be done by hand but I need advice on good mixtures for
this.  Anyone out there know about stucco?  The usual fine sand, white
portland and color mix will dry too quickly for the experimentation
necessary to get both the color and the texture right.  What formula can
you give me as a better alternative?  Sacie Lambertson
