"How to paint stucco walls. A stucco wall is a very, high level of texture on a surface. It could be either exterior stucco or interior stucco. It is normally done with a blade, a joint knife and it's a plaster on the exterior perhaps. Or a cement based product that's going to be more durable. And inside you could use a drywall mud straight out of the container and you're applying texture with a joint knife and building up a large iced cake sort of look. So you have these hills and dales and very chopped up looking. Very traditional in Mexican homes, southwestern feel stucco. The idea is to paint it. It's going to be heavy, a heavy lot of texture, so there's nooks and crannies and things that you want to get this roller into all that without spending a lot of sweat and blood and screaming and things. So the heavier the roller, this thing here, the bigger the nap, the easier it's going to be to paint your stucco wall. You would simply, I'm going to pretend I have paint here, load your roller and force it into your surface until it is completely covered. That is how you would paint your stucco."
