I know there has to be a bottom flashing attached under the paper but is there also corner edges like in sheet rock? Any advise on the three layers of stucco aplication would also be appreciated- whew- if you answer even a small percent of these questions it would be greatly appreciated. Lynne |
do your paper from the bottom up so the top overlaps the bottom. Make sure to overlap your wire. for a complete job you need a a scratch coat, then as the scratch starts to cure to a solid, then scratch it again using more lime and water in your mixes. both coats should be at least 3/4 of an inch thick. If your using an acrylic finish you will need to float your walls as they start to cure ( using water and a spunge, wood... float).
