Surface Preparation
New portland cement substrates should be properly cured prior to application of TecnoCem Exterior Stucco. All receiving surfaces must be structurally sound, clean, and free of dust, dirt, silicones, form releasing agents paint products, efflorescence or any other containment which could impair the natural bond. For hand applications the substrate should be dampened with clean potable water to control suction. Major cracks, holes, or voids should be repaired prior to application.
Mixing

TecnoCem Exterior Stucco should be mechanically mixed for approximately 10-15 minutes to provide maximum workability. For hand application 5 to 6qts. of clean water per 55 lb. For spray application additional water may be required.

Add approximately half of the required water to the mixer. With the blades running, slowly add the sack of TecnoCem Exterior Stucco. Allow ample time for initial mixing.

Add remaining mix water and complete mixing to produce a smooth workable consistency. For best results, stop mixing after approximately 10 minutes, allow to sit several minutes, finish mixing (re-temper). Do not short mix.

Application

TecnoCem Exterior Stucco should be applied to an approximate thickness of 3/8” base and finish or 1/8" (3mm) for finish only.

For hand application: Apply stucco by trowel evenly to the substrate with enough pressure to insure tight contact. Immediately double back with floating or texturing.

For spray application: One coat is necessary. Apply the first coat over a dry surface to produce complete color coverage. Double back for texture depth and color uniformity.

Clean Up
Water and detergent. Clean spills and spatters before stucco dries.
Limitations
Do not apply if ambient temperature will fall below 40° F (4° C) within 24 hours. During periods of hot/dry weather moist curing may be necessary. Caution: Variations such as thickness and composition of substrate, surface textures, inclement weather, mixing and application technique, or addition of field additives may impair color uniformity.
