Howdy folks, the building contractor repaired a leaking pipe in the bathroom inside this plaster home. I was hired to lath and apply two coats of plaster with a finish to match the existing plaster texture.
I used a product called Rapid Set Cement, it's a High Performance, fast setting Cement. EISENWALL, can be placed in thicknesses from 3/8 in. to 2 in.+ in one coat. I don't recommend anyone other then a licensed certified installer use this product. (That means you have to go through the training seminar for a certification).
After the stucco had a chance to cure properly, (30 days) the home owner then painted as usual by first applying a primer sealer and then a second coat of paint. He used Kelly Moore elastomeric paint, which is great for all your exterior needs.
Proportions are clearly spelled out in ASTM C 926, Application of Portland Cement-Based Plaster. [www.astm.org] 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, We usually mix this ratio
but will sometime double the amount of cement if we are applying stucco to ceilings.

Thank you for reading or watching, and have a great day!

is it possible to put the paint inthe stucco or do your need another product for that.

@czogg99 Hey cgozz,You can't put color it in the base coat, and YES, I have tried.

However, La Habra stucco colors have been around since 1926 and Western stucco colors around 1932. There’s many other Stucco and plastering brands but these two are the most popular in the San Francisco bay area.

And of course different states have other known quality stucco color suppliers.

Timing is everything with cement, thats for sure

@EifsExpertsIndyHey Eifs expert, how many times have we seen our work turn white and have to use all our strength to bring it under control? Kind of makes a half hour seem like ten, and when you’re done it defiantly drains your strength. I prefer to use wisdom than muscle, but every once in a while I still get beat up because of distractions as I am constantly multi-tasking.

Have a great evening.

So many videos on youtube and google about stucco, eifs and plaster. As a 4 generation plaster, union trained, in a complete different region of the country. I would have to say that Kirk's methods and instruction are as solid as the day is long, nearly an exact mirror to the methods and practices I've been taught and practiced my whole life. I've yet to see a questionable move or process. After watching so many of these videos, its good to know at least someone is out there doing it right.

@EifsExpertsIndy Hey Eifs, expert,  that is a wonderful, meaningful compliment, especially coming from a fourth generation plastering expert, whom has watched many plastering and stucco videos on the web.

Thank you very much. I'm going to have to share this compliment to my family and friends.

Thank again for the encouragement.

Have a great evening.

@StuccoPlastering The old specs in the midwest were 21 day minimum, 7 days of water saturation per coat X 3 = 21 days. These specs were removed in the pate 80's with the advent of autoclaved and pre-hydrated materials. However, allowing that time for proper cure is certainly the best way. We tell our clients 21 day minimum before paint/sealer application to allow complete chemical reaction duration. Anything less is not at full strength, and remains unfinished chemically.

@dozdeshabb

Hey guy, I usually tell everyone 28 days for the stucco to neutralize (cure), that way the paint wont blister. There are however many stucco products that say you can paint sooner, but if a person can wait they are better off with the traditional 28 days.

Thanks for the question and have a groovy evening.
