3. Steps for Repair
Repairing stucco is not a difficult job,
and it only requires some practice to
do it perfectly. In order to practice,
you can try repair work on boards
that contain holes on it. Once you
heal those cracks successfully, you
can move further to do the actual
job.

4. Material Required:
•Portland cement
•Soft-bristled brush
•Latex paint
•Bitumen
•Paint rollers
•Primer
•Hammer
•Cold chisel
•Bucket
•Fiberglass cloth
•Builder's sand

Apply bitumen to the crack area
Paint the stucco

6. Completely soak the crack area
The first step in repairing exterior stucco is
to completely soak the crack area with the
help of a hose. By doing so, the stucco
would not separate water from the new
mortar and thus would prevent crumbling.

7. Repair the mortar
The next step is to prepare the mortar by
mixing some water to one part of Portland
cement and about four parts of builder's sand.
Ensure that the mortar has become thick
enough to be used for the work.

8. Cover the cracked area
Further, take the polyvinyl acetate bonding
agent and cover the cracked area.

9. Apply the mortar to the crack
The bond would remain a little sticky for some time, so
apply the mortar to the crack at this time itself. This would
fix the bond-and-mortar mix properly to the crack.

10. Cover the cracked area
Now, cover the cracked area with the help of
bitumen-coated fiberglass. Further, the
fiberglass needs to be fixed in its place. You
can do this by pressing a paint roller over it.

11. Apply bitumen to the crack area
Apply bitumen to the crack area and let it dry.
On drying the first coat, apply the second
coat and spread it uniformly with the help of
a soft-bristled brush so that the coat does not
stand out as an odd spot on the wall

12. Paint the stucco
Painting a stucco is not difficult. Use the primer to
paint the patched area and let it dry. Apply another
coat of primer and take care that the newly painted
area should look a part of the rest of the wall.
