Stucco Application, one coat vs two coat stucco.
Note, fast set or one-day stucco is applied 3/8 at a time, back to back, not one inch, why? It’s difficult to apply one solid inch as it will sag unless a lot of accelerators are added. If you add a lot of accelerators, you run the risk of a bucket of stucco hardening before it reaches the board to be applied? How many buckets have we lost in 40 years? About five, yes, that’s all. When this happens we flip the bucket and slam it onto the ground and make sand castles, like when we were kids at the beach many years back.
