Installation Guide

SURFACE PREPARATION:
n The surface of the plaster “brown
coat” base or concrete partially
determines the texture, color and
final result of the finish.
n After application of the brown coat
rod, darby or trowel it to produce
the specified level.
n Next, hard float the brown coat to
eliminate “slick spots” and open the
surface to enable a good mechanical
bond for the finish coat.
n Hand application over portland
cement plaster: Prior to application
of exterior stucco finish, the
portland cement base coat shall
be dampened with clean water to
control and equalize suction. Allow
surface moisture to dissipate prior
to application of the Premium
Stucco Finish. For application over
any surface other than a portland
cement plaster brown coat, contact
Parex USA Technical Support for
proper preparation
MIXING:
n Read the entire label before using
this product.
n Using a mechanical plaster mixer,
start with approximately 2-1/2
gallons of cool, clean potable water.
Add one 80 lb. bag of Stucco Finish
and mix to a thin consistency until it
is smooth and free of lumps.
n Optional: for enhanced or darker
colors, all of the color packs to
be used for one “batch” and mix
until color is evenly dispersed,
(approximately 1 to 2 minutes).
n Thin the mixture with water and
then add the remaining bags of
stucco finish (adjusting water as
necessary) to correspond with the
number of color packs mixed as
described abovce Allow material to
mix at a somewhat stiff consistency
for approximately 15 minutes. Add
the remaining amount of water to
achieve the desired consistency, and
then disengage the mixing blades
for approximately 5 to 10 minutes
in order to allow the material to
slake. Doing this allows the material
to start its initial set. Re-engage
