Crack resistant formula, superior workability, extended board life, may be applied over concrete and masonry in one coat, can be used as the scratch/brown/finish coat all in one. | |

One question: “Build up the areas that have failed” Not quite sure what you mean here, could you clarify? @JimmyFix-it: What's the name of the repair material you're referring to? | |
| Oct 1, 2018 at 13:03 | comment | added | Ed Beal | I do agree that sand blasting is great but in my state the mitigation requirements can be a pain in the butt, that's why I started pressure washing 3500 psi + etches the surface quite well. And a little add mix brings the quality up close to that of commercial mixes at a much cheaper price. | |

I would add that, when resurfacing/repairing stucco like this, it is important to thoroughly moisten the underlying/surrounding material. Also, there are modern stucco repair materials that are fiber reinforced and stick like glue due to high-tech added bonding agents. They are expensive but outperform any home stucco mix by far, particularly for repair and resurfacing. And nothing beats sandblasting for prep for resurfacing (not even a pressure washer). | |

Added crack repair caution.
