raspberry Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Can I just use plain old sand mixed with paint? http://www.realgoodtoys.com/store/productview/110824/Stucco_Grit_Pack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fov Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I think you can use sand. If you have some wood filler lying around, I made stucco with watered-down wood filler and it came out great...

havanaholly Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I spread spackle with the edge of an old credit card in a thin layer over dry flat primer and then pop the flat of that card over the spackle to texture it for stucco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollhousebeth Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I mixed regular sand in my paint and did the foundation on my bungalow. I applied it with a sponge, and it came out great. I had thought about buying the grit mix, but then thought I would try the sand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morgansmith Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 For anyone 'chicken' to try other things, which was me last year, I used the Greenleaf stucco on my spring fling (pics in gallery) and was very happy with it. It was beginner friendly I guess you could say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judithfa Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Jeff: Lol is it "Simple Fix Adhesive & Grout" in alabaster? Yes, and I love it. The dollhouse I covered is a commercial dollhouse with a glossy baked-on enamel finish. I didn't even have to sand it. The "stucco" went on easily, I could make some corrections as I went, and then it dried hard as a rock.WONDERFUL! Oh, I did add a slight wash of a "sandish" color here and there to give it an aged look. It took it well. B) P.S. I put it on with a pallet knife and didn't have to do anything else to the surface (except the wash) to get the look I wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
