Re: Dryvit Interior Finish


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...

Re: Dryvit Interior Finish


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.

Re: Dryvit Interior Finish


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.
