I’ve used one from Sherwin-Williams that’s bigger and better for stucco than the ones I’ve seen at HD and Lowe’s. It cost about $80, vs the $40 for the others. Sorry, don’t know the brand name. Will look for it tomorrow if I remember.

I'm working on an existing building whose stucco dash coat was cracked and the patches were murdered by the painter. Now painted, the cracks make the building look like a road map due to the different reflectance of light on the field vs the patched areas.
I've shot one wall using a 2:1 slurry of color coat and acrylic admixture which covers the patched areas beautifully. The problem is that the #16 silica sand drops into the elbow of the hopper gun and completely blocks the elbow necessitating removal and cleaning it about every other load. I'm using a "Spraying Mantis" whose up-elbow is about 1-1/4" dia but it reduces to about an inch and then is made even smaller by the air piston. The "Wallboard" hopper from Home Depot is nearly identical.
Anybody know of a hopper with a larger elbow suitable for this size of sand? Brand name, supplier, telef's would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
