Stucco over Concrete Blocks .
Stucco Concrete Blocks with plastic lime cement.
Stucco over any CMU wall.
Can you stucco directly over CMU? Of course, you can, but proper installation skills are necessary.
When installing stucco over concrete masonry units, you may apply the stucco directly over the CMU. Not sure how to? Allow this video to be your guild.

Friends, we are located in Oakland, CA.

Here are all the basic tools we use and recommend on Amazon's website.

You want stucco to improve the look of a concrete block retaining wall?
My friends, you have come to the right place.
We will show and explain how to improve the block wall look with stucco.

We explained the material used and why, plus how thick we applied this skim coat of stucco to this block wall. I used what is called “Riverside plastic cement.” I added some extra lime so that when it came time to add the 4 to 6 inches to the radius, it would not set so fast; instead, it gave us the time to continue working so that when ready, I could give the entire wall the sand finish, that owner wanted.

Note: There is no need for galvanized stucco nettings 3.4 metal mesh or any other bonding agent, as we incorporate a natural, mechanical stucco bond.
That is where we apply stucco directly to a porous wall such as bricks, concrete, or blocks that have not been painted; the stucco adheres by suction.
To apply a bonding agent like Larsons, Weld-Crete, or Quickrete's bonding agent is called a chemical bonding agent, and yes, if you are not sure what this means, apply a bonding agent.

We did have to apply up to four to six inches in some areas; this is where the wall went eight feet without turning to form a decent radius.
What happens when one applies any cement plaster over an inch thick?
Multiple coats naturally cause hairline crack when applying more than 7/8.

Folks you are watching someone that has forgotten more about plastering than some plastering guys know.

I’ve been watching a lot of Kirks videos. I used some stuff I learned to fixed stress cracks on my grandmas garage before I painted it. Came out pretty sharp.

Great job! This house is around the corner from my Uncle's house and I walked my dog by that turd of a wall for years. You made it shine! Thanks for your knowledge sharing and enthusiasm. I hope that it inspires some young people to enter the trades, I was a plumbing and electrical contractor or about 12 years, and I do miss it. I went back to school in 2010, now I am a ER nurse and I still love tackling projects. Keep it up!

I love these videos. When I was doing a side project at a friend's house, I went from hand mashing the base coat and watching most of my plaster fall to the ground, to using a hawk and trowel like a pro! Thank you Kirk!
