Description:
Rapid Set® Stucco Mix is a premium
blend of Rapid Set® cement, quality
plaster sand, and high performance
additives. Stucco Mix is used in
exterior plastering applications where
accelerated set times, higher strength,
superior durability, minimal shrinkage,
and reduced cracking are desired.
Stucco Mix can be scratched, browned
(or applied in one coat to 3/4”), and
color coated in one day. Stucco Mix is
similar in appearance to Portland
cement plaster and may be applied
using similar methods. The following
performance can be expected from
Rapid Set® Stucco Mix.
Compressive Strength

MIXING:
Mix Stucco Mix in a mortar mixer or with
a drill mounted mixer. Rapid Set®
Stucco Mix can be mixed using 2.0 to
3.4 quart of water per 50-lb bag. Place
the desired quantity of mix water into the
mixing container. While the mixer is
running add Rapid Set® Stucco Mix.
Mix for 4 to 6 minutes, or until a uniform,
lump-free consistency is achieved. Do
not re-temper. CAUTION: Do not add
Portland cement, lime, or any other
admixtures unless approved by Rapid
Set®.
YIELD:
One 50-lb bag of Rapid Set® Stucco Mix
will cover approximately 7.0 square feet
at ¾ in. thickness. Yields 0.45 cubic feet
per 50-lb bag.
APPLICATION:
Stucco Mix is applied in much the same
way as Portland cement-based plaster,
and can be applied by hand or machine.
Stucco Mix can be scratched, browned
(or applied in one coat to 3/4”), and color
coated in one day. Do not apply brown
coat until scratch coat has achieved
sufficient strength to resist application
pressure. One hour after moist curing is
complete (see below), color coat can be
applied.
CURING:
Water cure Stucco Mix installations by
misting the plaster surface with clean
water to maintain its wet sheen, until the
material is hard and cannot be easily
scratched with a nail (minimum 60
minutes). Cold weather or extended
setting times will increase the required
curing time. The objective of water
curing shall be to maintain a
continuously wet surface until the
product has achieved sufficient
strength.
TEMPERATURE:
Warm environmental and material
temperatures will reduce the working
time of Stucco Mix. In warm weather, or
to extend the setting time, add Rapid
Set® Set Control® packets to the mixing
water. Temperatures below 70F (21C)
will decrease the rate of strength gain
and Stucco Mix should not be applied if
surface or ambient temperature is
below 32F (7.2C).
