Seeking information on a substance sprayed on my building.

Huh. I've only ever heard of one spray-on siding like you describe. It's made by a company called "Alvis".

There are probably others but...

fishin;

I thank you for sending me the information on "Alvis". I believe that their product is what I am looking for.

I will call them tomorrow morning in N.C. too see if they have a company rep here in South Texas. I will let you know how the call went.

Thanks again.

PS. This is the time of the year that I miss New England and the Cape.I lived in Randolph for many years before the War 2.

I remember a product called Texcote. I think maybe Sears even did that... but I'm not sure.

fishin;

This morning I called the main office of "Alvis" in N.C.

They have no company rep. in south Texas. The nearest contact would be north of Austin, which means hundreds of miles north of Brownsville.

Thank you again for your help.

Ossobuco;

Thank you for your suggestion....I went to Sears this afternoon and they told me that they have discontinued the paint and siding department.

I have read your post on alot of different topics.

Saying what you think makes alot of sense.

Joe Harris

Yes, I agree, Joe.

We don't have to say what appeals to others, although we want to be liked by others. I used to try to always say acceptable things, for some reason related to my upbringing and my own nature. But really, part of the fun of growing up is how to speak your own mind coherently to others. This is not as easy as it sounds.

Ossobuco

Amen .

Back to siding, I would be surprised if spray siding was not available in the Los Angeles phonebook or the Texas phonebook, for one of the big cities.

I have no doubt that some of these folks are not so good, so watchyourself.

I have always liked the look of quite minimal stucco, and that was hard to get by the time I left LA - mostly one could choose sort of a wavy look or lacey, and I don't happen to like either. I like the original stucco work on 50's houses.

But never mind.

I think you could possible do better by just having someone
match your general stucco job in those few bald spots. Much less money, and would not add a lot of stucco to your already-stuccoed exterior.

Where you need to pay attention is, if you add more stucco to the whole place, that doesn't alway work out around the windows.

Consider a simple PATCH JOB.
