Stucco Samples or stucco finishes.
Samples of sand finishes, samples of steel trowel finishes, samples of float finishes, stucco samples of every kind.

I did part one with this video. As folks asked at the end, I showed and explained what applying a smooth trowel stucco fish was in this one and why a third coat should be used for smooth or steel trowel finishes.

In this video, I simply added a third coat, “a finish coat,” to further explain that a steel-troweled two-coat stucco system can and will usually hairline as we are sealing the stucco.

Thus it can’t breathe. Then when the sun hits the walls, it swells the plywood and causes expansion, causing the stucco to the hairline.

This standard action has nothing to do with the stucco hairline cracking.
Instead, an element such as the sun heating the wood substrate under the stucco creates this condition. Why? Aging, when wood heats it, swells; like a pufferfish that thinks there’s danger.😉

When smooth finishes are requested, we apply both coats of stucco, then hydrate to cause swelling then shrinkage.
Then after a month, the third coat is applied, reducing the chance of further hairline cracks with the finished stucco.

Notice I said, reducing or lessening the chance. All steel-troweled stucco finishes have a much higher chance of hairlines than any other stucco finish.
Now you know.😉
