If you’re pondering the question, how do you get stucco to stick to painted blocks?
As in this video, pressure wash first, then apply a bonding agent and stucco.
In this video, I’m applying Quikrete’s Portland cement plaster; as a rule, we add three times the amount of sand to all Portland cement which is also called stucco.
You can also use Supper cement or Sac-rete; all need three times the sand for every part stucco.
You can also apply the all-in-one Rapid set stucco or Greencor sold at Home Depots or Lowes.
These stuccos do not require additional sand. You just add water.
So what are the rules for spreading stucco of the right thickness on a cinder or concrete wall?
If you don’t want to see the grout lines when it rains, you must apply the stucco over concrete or cinder block walls at least a half-inch or more.
Also, when stucco is applied over block walls, you only need one coat, not two.
It’s called a skim coat of at least 1/2 or more.
What happens if you apply less than one-half-inch?
Nothing, except when the wall is wet, you may see the grout lines.
If you’re unsure of your new stucco thickness on a Cinder block or CMU walls, add more until you feel it’s thick enough.
When it rains, the thickness matters to avoid seeing the grout lines.
Apply or layer at least 1/2, and you can’t go wrong. Not sure how much 1/2 is again. Add a bit more.
Lastly, no stucco mesh wire or netting is needed to apply stucco over any concrete or block wall. In fact, it’s counterproductive.
