Not enough space to answer to willmatter, I\'ll continue here. \"Chapisco\" is a primer, yes, but may be used as the final coat, whenever a rough appearance in wanted, like in certain outside walls. It\'s cast strongly against the wall through a mesh, to atomize it somewhat. Anyway, primer or final layer, the translation will always be roughcast.

Will Matter
: This is one possible meaning out of several possible meanings. Are we sure this isn't "primer" (base coat of material that allows another layer to be applied) instead? Probably has nothing to do with "neurology", anyhow.

Nothing to do with neurology, of course. I'm a civil engineer, and you may use "chapisco" as a primer (to add adherence of plaster to concrete) but also as a finishing, for outside surfaces. It's made out of cement and sand, cast over the surface.
