3.05 INSTALLATION

A. Installation Over Cast-In-Place Concrete or Concrete Masonry Units: 1. Bonding Agent: Install per manufacturer’s recommendations. 2. Weed Screed Installation: Install foundation weep screed at the base of the wall. 3. Casing Beads and Joints: Install as specified. 4. Scratch Coat: Apply stucco with sufficient pressure to ensure intimate contact with

substrate and complete coverage to an approximate thickness of ¼ inch. Score the stucco upon completion of each panel in preparation for a second coat. Score horizontally.

5. Brown Coat: As soon as first coat is firm enough to receive the second coat without damage, apply the second coat. Alternatively, moist cure the first coat up to 48 hours and dampen the scratched surface with water immediately before applying the second coat. Apply the second coat with sufficient pressure to ensure intimate contact with the first coat to an approximate thickness of 1/8 to 1/4 inch and as needed to bring the stucco to the desired thickness. Use a rod or straight edge to bring the surface to a true, even plane. Fill depressions in plane with stucco. Final thickness of stucco shall not exceed 1/2 inch.

6. After the stucco has lost sufficient moisture so that the surface sheen has disappeared, float the surface lightly with a darby or wood float to densify the


surface and to provide a smooth, even surface. Float before the stucco becomes so rigid that it cannot be moved beneath the float.

7. Moisture cure after the stucco has set by lightly fogging the surface for at least 48 hours. Fog as frequently as required during the 48 hour period to prevent loss of moisture from the stucco. Avoid eroding the stucco surface with excess moisture. If relative humidity exceeds 75% the frequency of moist-curing can be diminished.

B. Primer Installation: 1. Acrylic Based Primer/Sealer for High pH Surfaces: Moist cure stucco for a

minimum of 48 hours. Apply primer evenly with brush, roller or proper spray equipment over the clean, dry stucco, and allow to dry before applying finish.

2. Acrylic Based Tinted Sand: Moist cure stucco for a minimum of 48 hours. Wait until stucco is 28 days old or the pH level of the surface is below 10 before applying primer and allow to dry before applying finish.

C. Finish Coat Installation: 1. Apply selected finish directly over the stucco when dry. Apply finish by spraying or

toweling with a stainless steel trowel, depending on the finish specified. Follow these general rules for application of finish. a. Allow primed stucco wall surface to dry minimum 28 days. b. Avoid application in direct sunlight. c. Apply finish in a continuous application, and work a wet edge towards the

unfinished wall area. Work to an architectural break in the wall before stopping to avoid cold joints.

d. Weather conditions affect application and drying time. Hot or dry conditions limit working time and accelerate drying. Adjustment in the scheduling of work may be required to achieve desired results. Cool or damp conditions extend working time and retard drying and may require added measures of protection against wind, dust, dirt, rain and freezing. Adjust work schedule and provide protection.

e. Float rilled texture finishes with a plastic float to achieve desired texture. f. Do not install separate batches for finish side-by-side. g. Do not apply finish into or over joints and accessories. Apply finish to outside

face of wall only. h. Do not apply finish over irregular of unprepared surfaces, or surfaces not in

compliance with the requirements of the project specifications. D. Stucco Thickness:

1. Application to concrete or concrete masonry unit substrates without lath: Stucco thickness shall be 3/4 inch applied in three coats.

2. Application to Metal Lath: a. Woven wire fabric lath: Stucco thickness shall be 3/4 inch applied in three

coats. b. Galvanized diamond mesh metal lath (Minimum 2.5 lb. per sq. yd): Stucco

thickness shall be 3/4 inch to 7/8 inch applied in three coats. 3. Thickness shall be uniform throughout the wall area.

E. Tolerance: Complete plaster work such that the deviation from true plane (exclusive of texture) is no greater than 1/4 in. as measured from line of a 10-ft straightedge placed at any location on surface.

F. Joint Sealants: Install appropriate sealants around joints, opening and penetrations per manufacturer’s recommendations.

3.06 ADJUSTING AND CLEANING

A. Patching: 1. Point-up plaster around trim and other locations where plaster abuts dissimilar

materials. 2. Remove defective and damaged plaster by cutting it out.


3. Remove by cutting out stained and discolored finish-coat plaster scheduled to remain natural and unpainted.

4. Replace removed plaster using plaster with same composition and brought to desired texture and color consistent with surrounding area.

B. Cleaning: 1. Remove protective materials masking adjacent surfaces. 2. Remove stains that affect uniformity of plaster finish. 3. Use Cleaning methods approved in advance by the Architect.

C. Color Uniformity: To correct non-uniform color throughout the field of the plaster, fog coat spray entire finish-coat surface per manufacturer’s recommendations. Fog coats shall consist of finish-coat materials, except aggregate, spray applied to entire finish-coat surface on discolored elevations identified by the Owner or Architect.
