1'roperly mixed and applied,
Portland cement stucco provides an
exterior wall covering unei milled
for beauty and durability. As
with other materials of construc
tion, sueecsn in its use requires the
observance of certain fundamental
principles.
A t Inn uu yield I tig base upon
which to apply the stucco Is of
first Importance, fonercte ma
sonry tH Ideal In this respect, providing-,
as 11 docs, a permanent base
to which the stucco clings ten
aciously. ( 'oncrete block and
building tile used for the purpo.se
should preferably have a rough,
coarse texture to provide a good
key or mechanical bond as well
an a certain suction with aids In
i he application of the tduccn.
Mortar Joints should be cut flush
with the wall nurface mul left un
pointed lo secure additional bond.
Just before applying the I li st
cent, dust and loo.se pit i tides
should be - brushed off mid the
wall surface wett.d sutiieteutlv to
prevent t he absorpt Inn of w .iter
from the stucco. Witting, hoy.
ever, should not tie continued un
til water remains standing on the
surface, for this results In a loss
of suction and makes application
more difficult, states the i'oncrele

practice.
t Coloring.
Kor obtaining colored finishes
use only mineral pigments, other
pigments are likely to fade and
reduce the strength of the stucco.
In no cane should the amount of
color pigments exceed 10 per cent
or the weight of the cement lined.
In oilier words oo not use more
than nine pounds of color to one
sack of senient (in pounds). The
addition of larger amount In like
ly to reduce Ihe strength of the
resulting mixture.
Variations In the color of the
cement, aggregates and tu 1 he
pigments themselves are such its
to inn ke color formulas only ap
proximate. I lest results are ob
tained by experiment or trlul.
The proportion of coloring mutter
to cement to produce the exact
shade may be determined by pre
paring a number of small mortar
panels which should be made of
t he same ma tor In In and propor
tions its are Intended to be used In
t he actual work. Store the nm
ples for about five days under
conditions similar to the actual
work. Then tin shade desired for
the work mny be selected and the
proper amount of coloring pig
ment ascertained,
Texture as well as color plays '

technique of application. The
marks of the trowel, the float mid
