In this video, we explain how thick to apply stucco so grout lines don’t show.
When the walls get wet.
FYI, scratch coats are unnecessary for any brick, blocks, or Terra Cotta walls, or any cementitious substrates in Nature.
Remember that a stucco scratch Coat is 3/8 of an inch thick, whereas a Skimcoat is at least one-half inch or more; this minor 1/8 difference makes a big difference.
What happens if you apply less than 1/2 inch going over Blocks?
Excellent question; glad you asked, nothing.
Except when it rains, you will possibly notice the grout lines.
FYI, You don’t need to attach any stucco netting or stucco 3.4 mesh netting to blocks, bricks, or concrete walls; however, you must pressure wash them exceptionally well for the stucco to achieve a tremendous mechanical bond that adheres forever.
HOW MUCH SAND IS WHEN MIXING?
How much sand is for each coat of stucco?
Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 2-1/4 to 4 parts sand, brown coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 3 to 5 parts sand, and finish coats are 1 part cement to 1-1/2 to 3 parts sand.
We often mix 3 parts of sand into one part of Portland cement plaster. The plaster I use is premium-based Portland stucco. It has lime and is common in it.
