Howdy folks, many folks email me and ask, hey Kirk, how thick to apply or install stucco on block walls? In this video, we share the answer with you.

What is the ratio for the stucco?
As a rule, we add 3 parts sand and every one part cement plaster.
My friends, If you find that mix won’t adhere and you’re dropping too much stucco, don’t get frustrated. Add much less sand. This will make it stickier and grip the wall ten times better.
I’ve struggled with stucco with too much sand that would not stick to the block wall unless I stained my but off throwing, don’t do that; less sand and be happy.

All you need when plastering over block walls is one coat, not two. It’s called a skim coat of at least 1/2 or more.
What happens if you apply less than one-half-inch? Again, nothing, except when the wall is wet, you may see the grout lines.
If you’re unsure of your new stucco thickness on Brick walls, Cinder blocks, or concrete block walls, add more stucco until l it’s thick enough.
When it rains, the thickness matters to avoid seeing the grout lines.
Apply or layer at least 1/2, and you can’t go wrong.
Not sure how much 1/2 is again; add a bit more.
