Okay folks, we first had to chip off all the excess new stucco thicker than the existing stucco edges as this couldn’t be covered or concealed as it was too thick. If one is paying attention, one may have noticed the first coat was not scratched either. The stucco was applied but left with a troweled-on appearance. That’s a big No-No, as when the first coat of stucco is left smooth, there is no key to enable the second coat to adhere to for a stronger and necessary bond. No worries; this is where material knowledge and time come into play. Moving on, Weld-Crete has the ability, when applied to a clean existing surface, to accept a new cement stucco finish. Or you can use Quikretes bonding agent sold at all HD and lowes. A bottle costs about ten bucks. Once this prep work was complete, Jason mixed the new Portland cement stucco at a ratio of three times the sand to every one part of the stucco, which we both applied. Next, we floated the perimeter edge to feather it into the existing stucco as closely as possible. Now, we’re mixing a cementitious stucco finish with the correct sand they initially used when the stucco was applied. I chose La Habra fine cement sand, or what’s termed 20/30 sand.
