4. Add more admixture or dry stucco mix to adjust for desired consistency, if necessary, in order to arrive at optimum consistency.
5. Add the measured stucco admix to plaster mixer, followed by the stucco mix.
6. If mixing sand and masonry cement, add the sand first followed by the cement.
7. Mix until smooth and lump free. Let stand for eight minutes, then re-mix for two minutes and apply.
Application

inch (3 mm ) thickness.
