Tips for peak performance
• Model any mountain or rock formation you wish. Wikipedia has a list of rock formations around the world, many with photographs.
• Look at the color(s) of rock you wish you model. Refer to reference photographs for inspiration.
• When “mountaineering,” don’t work during extreme heat, as you don’t want the stucco mix to dry out too quickly.
• Mixing the stucco goes more quickly if you use a large paint mixing paddle mounted on a power drill.
• Don’t feel you need to complete this project in one day. You can do a few feet at a time and not make this a monumental project.
• If you do want to get more work done in one day, make it a party! Invite friends, family, or fellow club members to join in the fun.
