Here are some tips for applying stucco scratch coats:
Thickness, the scratch coat should be at least 3/8 in thick. A thicker or thinner coat is not a deal breaker.

We use three times the sand to every one part Portland cement stucco. Application method: Use horizontal strokes to create a key for the next coat to absorb and adhere to.

The cure time will vary depending on the product used.
