Default Re: Help with Stucco Cracks

Balty,

I'm not familiar with the formula you used, so can't say in that direction. However, you mention that the mortar was stiff. Coatings of this kind should be mixed wet, not stiff. By wet I mean just before the slump stage. Consider this one a scratch coat. Score it a bit, then recoat with a half inch of wetter mortar. You should be fine. Just don't let the first coat cure too much before you do it.

Jim
