What is the difference between acrylic stucco and regular stucco?
Acrylic stucco repels water, while classic stucco absorbs water.

In this video, we explain stucco acrylic vs. traditional cementitious stucco and the cost difference between acrylic and traditional stucco,
Folks ask we explain the cost difference.
Do you want to see how this stucco acrylic was applied? • Stucco acrylics applied
Hello, our friendly subscribers,
In this quick explanation, I’m explaining the cost difference between Acrylic stucco and traditional stucco, as we say, in the plastering trade.
Acrylic stucco costs more as they are twice the work, and costs are about three times that of cementitious color coats.
However, acrylic stucco tends to flex more.
In the long run, they have Less hairline cracking if your home is on a hill or area prone to ground movement, plus they are more water-resistant and won’t darken when wet.
A cementitious finish, such as La Habra, Western, Carson, BMI, etc., tends to darken when wet but also provides a maintenance-free finish that never needs painting.
Cementitious color finishes are like a brick. When wet, the colors darken, but when in dryer conditions, Return the walls to their original color. Thus, like a brick, the color lasts forever as it’s integrated into the cement. stucco

G'day Kirk,
you are absolutely right about how much of a pain these kinds of finishes are to do on two storey buildings. I had to produce this finish on a 3 story lift shaft about 3 years ago. We are in the southern hemisphere obviously here in Sydney Australia, and the south side of the shaft was relatively easy, however the northern side was very very difficult. Heat from direct sunlight over that height made it almost impossible. My saving grace was the fact we had horizontal control joints on each floor so at least i was only having to concern myself with 10 foot (3 meter) vertical sections rather than the full shaft height.
Some may question why bother if its so much more expensive?
On my job i use acrylic because i thought it would be a lot easier carrying buckets up a 3 storey lift shaft on my own instead of trying to mix, carry and spread a cement based mix. Also, i think the acrylic is less messy to apply.
Good Evening Adam my fellow plasterer from Australia, no doubt the horizontal expansions saved you from the dreaded scaffold joints.
FYI, all of us here at the giordano plastering channel we wish to thank all our subscribers and those of you who accidentally stumble on our channel a happy and prosperous new year

Howdy Mac daddy Plastering, you are an experienced rendering contractor we both know and realize the difference between cementitious and acrylic finishes, however this video more than likely won't really mean much to the fella who has not rendered for at least 15 years.

Your pal Kirk giordano
Hi Kirk, can you make a video explaining the strength difference and longevity difference between acrylic and the sand and cement style, if i'm not mistaken you need quite a bit more base coat and finish going sand and cement.. Meaning more cost and load to the structure.
On a side note have you ever used drip tracks or "V" grooves to break up the wall ?
Iv never used a pully before ... by god what a treat eh. Always up the ladder always hot as hell. heavy as hell to. Man you guys got it made. Thanks so much for sharing.

Kirk Giordano Plastering and stucco tips
This is correct, i just would add that anytime you do very smooth , you always do two coats on the firs you can do a little thicker and green float it , next day you scrape any small aggregate and imperfections then apply very thin coat , and steel trowel in a circular motion and pair of guys per section , this way you don't have to paint , and il looks very nice.
Howdy Fuser, with cementitious finishes this is how we do it, however, we dont wait for the next day, the second coat is usually done on the same day with me.
We also apply full strength the recomened primer for that finish coat as we did in the acrylic color finsh in the video. thank you

Kirk Giordano Plastering and stucco tips
Hey Kirk, is a santa barbara finish considered as fine as the one in this video? I just had a wall done and didnt realize how brittle it could be. Also, I can still see the lines of the cinder block. my stucco guy said its because we chose a light wall color for the stucco. Thoughts?
Good evening Castillo, to not see the ground lines, a skim coat needs to be applied before a finish coat.
Color has little to do with it.

How long does each of the types of color finishes (acrylic vs tinted) cement plaster last?If the finishes fade what is a reasonable length of time for paint over the plaster be expected to last? Can you apply acrylic finish over old plaster and do you need to apply plaster weld or prime over old surfaces?
Howdy David, you sure you didn't miss any questions?
The acrylic's and the cementitious last forever, meaning they don't peel or come off, sure the colors will fade with any product in due time depending on the sun's heat.
In Arizona or Mexico where the temperatures reach 105 to 115 in the summer months, expect these colors to fade in 20 to 40 years or even sooner, this is natural and look cool in my personal opinion, in areas with cooler weather expect fading in 50 to 60 years, all depends on many other factors as well.
Acrylic's as well as cementitious products can be applid to almost and base coat as long as correct prep measures are carried out.
Cheers and have a happy new year my friend,

Kirk, thank you for your videos.
Since acrylic stucco is 3+ times more expensive and more difficult to apply why would you ever use it over conventional one?
Howdy William dude, Excellent question, glad you asked.
Too many reasons to list here but I name just two out of about 20 good reasons, the main one is the acrylic's flex more than cementitious, thus when it rains for 30 days all houses will lift from a hair to and 1/8 of an inch, quite normal, when the home settles regular cementitious color coat finishes are prone to hairlining by this natural occurring motion.
Same as when doors and windows slam for instance this causes vibrations, vibrations and or movement is like kryptonite to superman, not good.
the acrylic's flex a bit more.
Another example is say glass it will tweak just a hair when flexed or manipulated anything more it will crack, same as stucco, cement or any other cementitious material.
Folks don't wish to here this but hairline cracks are natural and quite normal, with no cause for alarm.
Best wishes with your projects,
Kirk giordano plastering on small repairs
In the end which is better cementicious or acrylic
Good evening Tia Dude, acrylic naturally, but it cost almost twice that of a cementitious finish.

Would you please do a video on the differences between STUCCO VS PLASTER. The versatility of plaster to be used on both internal and external applications is interesting. What are the advantages and downfalls of each? I live in a cold weather climate. Does this matter? Many thanks for your efforts and videos. ***All good looking and smart men are named Kirk
Howdy kirk, LOL, stucco is a term used for exterior plastering.
Plastering is a term used primarily for interior plastering.
Thus stucco is for exteriors while plaster is used for interiors. 🍻
Gypsum-based plaster is interior, lime-based plaster is used on exterior (notably in Greece, etc)
Can you use "Acrylic stucco" as interior finish on a SIP wall? Thanks in advance.
Evening Kosha, of course, you can. However, it's easier to wipe stains or dirt off painted surfaces.😉
WOW ! nice house, and i keep on with those tips i need them, thanks.

Nevermind, I found the video in the list on the right. Thanks.
cool beans daddieo.
Absolutely spot on about the darker colors being more difficult to work with to achieve a uniform color. Alot of times, if possible, it's better to lay on the finish mud east to west instead of top to bottom like conventional stucco. Less chance of getting a "joint" and "burning it"..also, if your elbow isn't hurting when you are laying on Dryvit or BMG or whatever, then you are putting it on too thick

Mastering Plastering for the beginner’s to the experts
Hey Kirk and family. I'm looking to do a color coat over my existing stucco. The stucco has glass embedded in. Do I need to use weld-crete because of the glass or am I good to just wet and trowel? It gets down below -30 degrees Celsius in winter as well. Not sure if that makes a difference or not so I thought I'd add that info. You guys are awesome!
Evening Elaina, thank you,
I would pressure wash well, apply a bonding agent then stucco as usual,

I used expanded lath over marine grade plywood. I brown coat, water it for a week OFTEN. Color coat and you are done. It has been 12 years and only a few hairline cracks. Nailed that Galvanized lath @ 6" on center. Fantastic economy and durability.
Added a section and did cement board with fiberglass tape on joints, primer and then an elastomeric brush on finish. Still good after 15 years. Main house, marine ply nailed for shear, paper, chicken wire, then scratch, brown and color. @ 1" thick. Looks to outlast me and my kids. This material looks like it needs to be re engineered.
Howdy Richard, can't argue with integrity over time, I didn't realize Marin plywood was waterproof, how'd you get your joints watertight is a mystery to me also,
unless you applied a moister barrior over the marine plywood.
Best wishes,
Plastering tips from your favorite stucco geeks
Yes, always used 15# felt or standard black stucco paper over the ply. The marine ply is not so much water proof as it is stable and non deteriorating over time and high humidity. Ran out and bought 1 sheet of standard ply from local yard - that one spot has lots of small cracks in it as that poor plywood moves around. A good quality APA stamped sheet of 3/4 fir ply works too, that is what I used under the expanded lath job. If I do more in the future, the expanded lath 2 coat system seems best to me.
I wrote this once but it vanished.... Marine ply is not waterproof and I use paper over it of course. What it has is integrity and high water resistance and lack of cupping and warping over heat/ moisture changes. The ONE sheet of "normal" sheathing I used under my 3 coat standard stucco has cups and cracks in the finish. After all my experimenting, the bestest and fastest is 5/8 APA doug fir ply, 5 ply. Then a good moisture resistant paper or composite, then galvanized expanded lath nailed with ring shank nails, then brown coat, flat finish, then color. What most people fail to do is give the brown coat a week or two WET cure. Hire a kid to hang out and hose it.
Howdy Richard, excellent advise.

What thickness is Dryvit sand pebble fine? Or specifically is it thicker than what is shown in this video?
Howdy Luke, the average thickness for a fine finish is 1/16 to 1/8 of an inch. Or about 50 to 70 times thicker than paint. Cheers.😉
Awesome work
Thank you! Cheers!
Hey Kirk, does the primer help keep the color uniform?
Howdy SP dude, that it does, plus for me it kills the suction so that this acrylic didn't set too fast, I knew I was to work with my sons, so I hit the walls three times to kill all the suction as I also knew it was going to be a hot day, pays to know all these details.

Hi Kirk! I've been watching your videos because I am planning a small desert cottage build in an adobe style. I am looking to make it a white, an slightly crude finish. I have two questions that I would really appreciate your advice on:
1. On the corners, how could I get a more rounded finish versus a blocky, sharp 90 degree angle? Should I just sculpt it or is there a trade secret for this?
2. If I used a cement plaster, could I paint the plaster afterwards instead of adding a dye during the process?
Thank you for putting all of this great info out for all of us to learn from!
Good morning Phil, they do sell bullnose corner aid which you can attach to give the corners a rounded appearance.
As far as painting yes you can paint all stuccos after the proper cure time of 28 days.

Hi Joni, this is in the description. Think and grow intelligent.
Acrylic stucco costs more as they are twice the work, and costs are about three times that of cementitious color coats.
However, acrylic stucco tends to flex more.
In the long run, Less hairline cracking if your home is on a hill or area prone to ground movement, plus they are more water-resistant and won’t darken when wet.
Why don’t you like the finest finish like the finish in this video. It doesn’t last as long?
Howdy Fish hunt Dude, excellent question.
This fine sand finish hides no flaws as the sand is the finest sold, that being said, I rodded the complete home, as I knew what I would be up against when the finish was to be applied.
Best wishes,

I would use a darby for a shower, but outside those imperfections give the stucco some feel. That blue house looks like formica. Flat and dead.
Howdy Richard, I like your style, I too prefer old world charm to the super modern look which says hey world I have a lot of cash.
I turned down a job just last month where the fella was explained everything had to be straight as he was going to use a level to check.
I told him I would be too busy for the next 15 years, as I don't get involved with that sort of attaitude.
Sound advice From your neighborhood stucco geeks
Thanks for this one. It answer questions I always wondered about. But it also brought a few new ones. Are these acrylic plasters usually used over styrofoam? Or, what looks like styrofoam? And what surface do you prime? Don't these products come colored already? Or by prime do you mean the blue stuff you put on for better adhesion? Look forward to the video links. Thanks again!
Howdy Harold, acrylics are an alternative to cementitious finishes; they flex more are more water-resistant. But also costs 3 times as much to purchase and apply now; one must paint the entire house with the primer plus use the acrylic, which sticks to everything.
All acrylics come with primers, not a bonding agent. Cheers.

Plastering tips from your favorite stucco geeks
Hi Kirk. I'm working my way through your videos. I'm replacing all my windows in my 1950 Phoenix stucco home. I have a float finish thats been painted many times. In addition to repairing that stucco around 12 windows, there are two walls with heavy vertical cracks below windows and one wall with a badly matched circular patch. I'm certain to recoat the entire house. In talking to contractors, I'm getting mixed information. One guy says to diamond lathe (expaded metal?) the two cracking walls. Is that over kill vs the tape I've seen you use? He also told me if I want the cementitious top coat he couldn't color it, doesn't work, some thing about float finishes and water? I've seen you do a number of float finishes and I've not seen you water anything. Did I miss it? And colored acrylic he said was way expensive and would have to be painted anyway in a few years? My understanding is you should not put acrylic over old cementitious because it seals the house up too much and doesn't let the stucco breath and you get mold issues. Is this true?
The other thing is, does the entire house get a new base coat plus color coat or just base coat the new patches and then colored top coat for the entire house? Again ill be going over painted cementitious that is float finished and I'd like to float fishing again either 20 30 or 16 20.
FYI this same guy wanted to diamond lathe my 2 planters and stucco them but they don't have any big moving cracks.
Appreciate your insight.
Hi, I'd recommend you have a person pressure wash your home and apply an acrylic stucco finish over it. Most of what you've heard is nonsense. Get a real expert's opinion.

Banks, malls, plaza, big hotel chains always use acrylic stucco. Why is that? Is it because its more expensive or because its superior? And not all smoother finishes needs primer. With 2 inch eps foam board you get an r10 value energy saving. Traditional stucco gets none and hairline cracks are more prominent.. dryvit systems have less room for crack when done by a pro as it has reinforst fiberglass mesh every square inch before final coat. And the old wire lathe get rusted overtime. Fiberglass mesh never rust.. I have full access the all the dryvit litertures on all their application...

He knows that any dark finish, especially this almost black one with fine silica-infused sand, will show variances.

Mastering Plastering for the beginner’s to experts
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. I just stuccoed the roof of my new house build. I bet you’ve never seen that before? Lol!!
Howdy Better Built, think again, unfortunately, i have seen this, it didn't last, but a year or so.
I'd suggest if someone were to do this use a quality peal and stick thick rubber membrane over entire area, then attach mesh netting with just the necessary staples needed, caulk all the staples with Sikaflex polyurethane caulking, use a basecoat of BMI's reinforced fibered cement plaster . as it's water-resistant, allow to cure, then apply a primer with the best acrylic stucco sold in the U.S. I'd recommend, stucco-flex, Carsons, BMI, or dry-Vit.
best wishes,
Live long and plaster
Do’s and don’t of plastering’s leading experts
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. I fiberglassed the roof like a boat for waterproofing, polyurethane glued 4” eps, I used perma lathe from BASF embedding the one coat stucco mix. I’m going to seal it siloxane sealer. The roof is waterproof prior to stucco. I’m more than likely going to use a acrylic over it, I just want see how the regular stucco holds up first. Appreciate your input, I will email you pics when it’s all done. I did post a starter video on my channel if you care to look.

Howdy Tom Lee, I find the acrylics take more work, myself, but we apply what we're told folks want.
Cheers and have a happy new year my friend,
