this might be the wrong spot to post this ,if so apologies ..Has anyone used any of dryvits interior finishes.. if so how was it work with.

Used Imasco and Synergy many times on interiors ( swimming pool rooms, solariums, etc.) Dryvit has comparable products, so it must be similar. If moisture isn't an issue, these work great over regular drywall. Ugrade to denshield or cement board for moist areas. The acrylics are as hard to repair damaged walls on the inside as the out!! And pool areas needed an extra coat of a waterproof material (hand applied) before the finish, can't remember what...

Oh, and they are easy to work with, just MESSY. Cover EVERYTHING you dont want dirty, and throw away your work clothes when your done! lol

Are you troweling and floating or spraying?

Trowel and float finish. It will still find its way to where it's not supposed to be!! I've never tried to spray this stuff....is it the same hopper/texture machine as ceiling texture?

You can use a hopper gun to apply.

Make sure the substrate is clean and dry. Use plastic drop cloths and masking tape to cover things (like prepping to paint). Use a hopper gun to apply.
