SAFETY:

READ and UNDERSTAND the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before using

this product. WARNING: Wear protective clothing and equipment. See HMIS

block. For emergency information, call CHEMTREC at 800-424-9300

or 703-527-3887 (outside USA). KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

PREPARATION:

Remove all unsound concrete, mortar, grease, oil, paint and other foreign

materials that will inhibit performance. When used over old stucco,

SAKRETE® Bonder/Fortiﬁ er is required. For best results, apply a scratch and

brown coat in accord with ASTM C926 prior to application of the SAKRETE®

Finish Coat Stucco.

Refer to:

• SAKRETE® Base Coat Product Information

• ASTM D 4258 Surface Cleaning of Concrete before painting

• ASTM C 926 Application of Portland Cement Plaster

• ACI 524R Guide to Portland Cement Plastering

MIXING:

Use clean tools and potable water. Use approximately two gallons (7.6 L) of

water per 80 lb. (36.2 kg) bag. Mix only quantities that can be applied within

one hour. Overporous substrates and/or during hot, dry weather, one of the

mixtures (below) is required:

Place the water in the mixing container, gradually add the SAKRETE® Finish

Coat Stucco to the mixing water and mix until material is wet and of a trowel-

able consistency. WATER AND MIXING TIME MUST BE KEPT TO A MINIMUM

AND BE CONSISTENT BETWEEN BATCHES to reduce the possibility of varia-

tions in color.

MIXING: (CONT.)

Wash out the mixer periodically to keep material from caking. If the mixture

becomes stiff and difﬁ cult to trowel, discard it. When using multiple batches

of SAKRETE® Finish Coat Stucco, combine bags from different lots to pro-

mote uniform color. Refer to applicable sections of the standards referenced.

DO NOT re-temper. Re-tempering will seriously affect color. When using

SAKRETE Bonder/Fortiﬁ er, pre-dilute with water ﬁ rst before mixing with the

SAKRETE® Stucco Finish Coat. The addition of SAKRETE® Bonder/Fortiﬁ er

improves bond, curing, reduces shrinkage cracks, improves color retention

and helps reduce efﬂ orescence.

PLACEMENT:

Install to a minimum thickness of 1/8” (3.2 mm) and in accordance with the

standards referenced. Finish according to the texture speciﬁ ed. Smooth and

ﬂ oat ﬁ nishes are not recommended for color applications. Wood ﬂ oats are

preferred. Over-ﬂ oating the material can result in color variations, mottling

and surface defects. The Air, Mix & Substrate temperatures should all be

between 40° F (4.4°C) to 90°F (32.2°C).

SPRAY APPLICATION:

The following information is offered as a guide only. Speciﬁ c product,

equipment, application conditions and user experience will inﬂ uence proper

application results. Consult with the equipment manufacturer for equipment

handling techniques. Field Test material with equipment prior to starting

project.

CURING:

Excessive water used in curing will affect ﬁ nish color and performance.

Protect newly applied substrates from rain for 12 hours. Protect from freezing

for 48 hours after application. Materials modiﬁ ed with SAKRETE® Bonder/

Fortiﬁ er should be air cured, unless hot and/or drying winds or low humidity

are present. Under such conditions, if not modiﬁ ed, lightly fog spray. Cure per

American Concrete Institute 308-Standard Practice for Curing Concrete. As

with all stucco, surface cracking may occur due to curing conditions, control

joint conﬁ gurations, over-watering, over-troweling or other conditions beyond

the control of the manufacturers of SAKRETE® products. Efﬂ orescence is

a naturally occurring phenomenon associated with portland cement based

products. Elevated mineral content, salts or other particulates can exacerbate

this condition.
