Hi,
I hope this question isn’t too dumb. I have a front porch that years ago, before I knew better, I faced the brick with t1-11. Well a lot of the t1-11 as heavy rot. I want to tear it off but I’m concerned that most of the screws are going to snap off and ruin the appearance of the brick face. The brick really isn’t that good looking in the first place. Can I use a drywall hopper to spray a thin stucco texture to hide the screw holes (there’s probably about 80 holes). Thanks,
Mike

If you want the facade the brick there's an all-in-one-meaning one coat reinforced-stucco system, I believe from PAREX that I've used for that very purpose. It's got fiber reinforcement and latex addtv. and is sticky. Bricks got to be very clean tho.
Thanks,
I went over to their website. They had quite a few products. Not sure which would be the most appropriate.

Couldn't you just tuck point it?

Thanks,
I'll take the T1-11 of then see what I have. I know most of the holes will be in the face of the brick not the mortar.
this sounds like it may fit the bill.

Thanks,
That may work. The problem I see is that the wall may be painted under the T1-11.
