Fog Coating stucco. Hard to see as it’s in the sun and same color
Hi Guys, in this video Jason and I explain step by step some tips if you are going to apply a fog coat of stucco to your home.
Fog coating repairs most stains while bringing back the original look of stucco without changing its ability to transmit moisture vapor. We used it primarily 20 to 25 years ago when I was in the union when we did 2 or 3 story walls and the scaffold joints would show, but there are many reasons where it works great. (If you’re trying to fog out grease, tar, paint or similar stains it won’t work) Yes, I have tried.
Fog coating is mainly used on say large wall where lots of fellas are spreading color finishes on different levels, many times the scaffold joints will show. (Different suctions on the wall), weather, heat, and especially water play an important part in color uniformity, not to mention many guys simply working and not paying attention to teamwork.
The other time is for a similar purpose, say for example a wall was too wet in certain areas and really dry in others and the person in charge did not mist is uniformly, nor did he understand all the natural effects in play.
(Happens to all plastering fellas a time or two before learning begins))
The main method of application when fog coating is, spray a maximum of two or possible three separate fog coats as this is usually the most a wall can absorb of colored stucco water, or you may get a powdery residue. If you spray one fat coat a powdery residue will often remain also. What’s the big deal about this remaining residue?
You can use you hand to swipe it or the first rain can easily wash it off. These instructions are just the tip of the iceberg as far as knowing how to fog coat. There is still much to know, not mentioned here.
