Benefits:
Exterior Stucco Finish provides a cost effective, low maintenance coating for all portland cement substrates.
Exterior Stucco Finish provides a variety of colors and textures.
Exterior Stucco Finish is an integral part of a conventional plaster one-hour fire assembly.

Sand Blends:
Coarse: Used for a heavy skip trowel, sand or dash finishes. Coarse sands add greater depth and shadowing to stucco textures.
Medium: Used for medium skip troweled textures, lighter sand finishes and semi-smooth southwestern textures.
Fine: Used for semi-smooth or smooth finishes. (Cracks and uneven color are often a problem with smooth finishes. These characteristics must always be discussed with the consumer before proceeding.)

Coverage:
Coverage will vary due to sand blend and desired texture. Use the following coverage estimates based on our medium aggregate and 90 lb bag as a general guideline. Estimate approximately 10% less coverage for an 90 lb bag:
Sand Float - 12 to 15 square yards
Skip trowel - 10 to 12 square yards
Machine Dash - 6 to 8 square yards

Mixing Premixed Exterior Stucco:
Add enough water for one sack to the mixer. Add the first sack of finish to the water in the mixer and allow the sack to mix for approx 5 minutes. Add each additional sack to the mixer by adding half the required water first - then the sack - then the remaining water. Do not over thin the mix. Add the final sack to the batch, adding enough water to bring the complete batch to a working consistency. Allow the complete batch to mix for 15 to 20 minutes after the last sack has been added.

Mixing Base and Color Pak:
Add enough water for one sack to the mixer. Add the first sack of finish to the water in the mixer and all the color paks for the batch. Add each additional sack to the mixer by adding half the required water first - then the sack - then the remaining water. Do not over thin the mix. Add the final sack to the batch, adding enough water to bring the complete batch to a working consistency. Allow the complete batch to mix for 15 to 20 minutes after the last sack has been added.
