• Avoid overlapping fresh stucco over previously dried areas as this
will result in a lack of color uniformity
CURING
Provide sufficient moisture to permit continuous hydration of the
cementitious materials and minimize cracking. The most effective
procedure and frequency will depend on climate and job conditions.
Under normal conditions, moist curing is accomplished by applying
a fine fog spray of water generally twice daily in the morning and
evening. Care must be exercised to avoid erosion damage to plaster
surfaces. This procedure should be repeated for several days
following stucco application. During hot and dry conditions, additional
precautions may be necessary, including more frequent misting or the
erection of barriers to deflect sunlight and wind.
Curing of Acrylic Fortified Systems: Under normal conditions, do not
moist cure Acrylic Fortified product since air is essential in the curing
of QUIKRETE Acrylic Fortifier mixes; however, under extreme
conditions of wind and sun, moist curing may be required for the first
24 hours.
PRECAUTIONS
• Temperature, wind velocity, direct sunlight or shading, as well as the
dampness or dryness of the surface receiving the material, all have
an effect on the finished depth of color. Do not apply when weather is
forecast to be above 100 degrees F (38 degrees C) or below 40
degrees F (4 degrees C) within 24 hours without adopting the
required hot and cold weather precautions.
