    If you can find an elastomeric patching compound this will help a lot. the "rubber like" effects of the elastomeric will stretch instead of crack.

      @Cheng a product like this http://www2.dupont.com/Caulk/en_US/applications/elastomeric_patch/applying_elastomeric_patch.html surface prep is key to remove loose bits, Some stucco is "painted" the above product can be painted. Some Stucco projects I have worked on have a "tinted" top coat and are not painted. There are differences in opinion on whether stucco should be painted. Elastomeric paints help here too. DIY is an option, but you might want to practice your "texture" technique on a scrap of plywood. The patching compound is not "sand-able"

    Jenn Anderson Boston, MA I am having l nightmares over the Rhino Shield covering on my house, installed just over three years ago. Large bubbles are in the material that I can slit and hand peel the material, right down to the bare red cedar clapboards, which were also primed with an oil primer and finished with latex paint before the Rhino-Shield was applied. The material has a lifetime guarantee, so when I called several persons, including the owner Rhino Shield they all came over quickly. Rhino Shield said that the material was probably put on when the cedar was damp, and thus would strip everything and apply a new primer and finish coat, let dry, then apply new Rhino Shield, adding that there will be no more work till flashing is....
