stuccoing
Applying textured plaster
Stuccoing is the process of applying stucco—a cement-based plaster used to coat exterior walls.
The technique creates a durable, textured finish common in Mediterranean and Southwestern architecture: They spent the weekend stuccoing the garage.
The word also works as a present participle: The crew is stuccoing the new addition.
