Skim coat stucco interior walls
by Marion
40 years ago we put stucco on our interior entry hall. Has anyone had any experience with skim coating walls with stucco? I would appreciate all comments in regard to this. It would save me time and a mess rather than replacing the Sheetrock. Thank you.

Yes, it can be skimmed with joint compound. Apply your joint compound to the walls with as wide a knife as you can easily handle, allow it to dry and sand it smooth. I've personally done this on two occasions recently repairing what was a horrific re-texture created by two very under qualified contractors touting themselves as professionals. One of the homes I left smooth to mimic plaster and the second I retextured in a knock down pattern.

Yes, you can also spray sheet rock mud compound, like used for sprayed ceilings and the trowel it down for textured look, it hides a world of sin. The process is called "skip Trowel".
