DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

Repairing chipped or cracked stucco is an easy project, but you'll need to set aside a few days to complete it.
Step 4: Apply the final coat of stucco
Use a spray bottle or hose to wet the scratch layer. Dampen a float with water, and load it with stucco. Wipe the stucco onto the surface with the dampened float. Depending on the pattern of the existing stucco, pull or swirl the new stucco with the float to duplicate the pattern. Allow the stucco to dry for 24-48 hours, and then paint as desired to hide the patch and provide additional protection against the elements.
Wipe the stucco onto the surface with a dampened float.
