It doesn't look promising, Daren. You? I'm really discouraged with this weather. I just need a few good days off. Every day off rains or is cold. I hate looking out the window from work at warm sunshine.

I'm in the same boat, man. Just a nice day or two and I can get the roof tiles on. It's probably too cold to finish the stucco anymore. They say it might snow on Saturday!

What temps are safe to stucco? How about brick, stone, and mortar?

Quikrete surface bonding cement (stucco) will withstand up to 300 degrees farenheit acoording to their help line... Hope this helps,, It is also a one coat process

I am mortaring stone veneer. What do you think if I put it on during the day (temps above 40 degrees), but it drops into the 30's at night?

on our Help Line at 1-800-282-5828 to inquire about specific QUIKRETE® products and where to buy them, order product literature or obtain expert advice on concrete projects.

Here is the number for quikrete,,, they are very helpful and Im sure they can answer that question if someone here cant

[dbhansen]

I know the Quikrete surface bonding cement that I'm using says not to use it if the temps fall below 40 within 24 hours.

Do you think it helps if I use warm water to mix the mortar? (Can't blame a guy for trying)

I would hold off on mortaring if you know you will have a freeze. I am REALLY hoping for an indian summer, so just wait a few days!
