We are building a new section that will be all about stucco. If you have any interest in stucco application, how to mix stucco, or many variations of stucco recipes, please check out our site. The material will range from the definition of stucco, to the many types of stucco mixes.
The latest page includes stucco mixes with step by step instructions to start your mixing. Then there are mixes for a scratch coat, a brown coat, ferrocement, carving plaster and more. What is your favorite mix? Please send us your favorite plaster or stucco mix, and we will share it on our mix page.
Hi,
The formulation we have been using for the structural mortar on my home is:
Portland: 14%
Fly Ash: 9%
Silica Fume: 2%
Sand: 75%
We mix water at about 48% of the cementatious portion of the mix.
Love your website, I learned quite a bit from the links you’ve posted.
Thanks,
Hubert
