is it possible to smooth out a heavy stucco texture or finish?

Is it possible to smooth out a heavy stucco texture or finish? You betcha, I have been doing just this for over 35 years without a failure, but common sense rules must be followed. I’ll explain in greater detail what’s involved when applying a new stucco finish over an existing heavy finish or texture. In stucco language, it’s considered applying a new maintenance-free integrated color finish.; since that’s too much of a mouthful and confusing, let’s just call it a new stucco finish over your existing heavy finish.
