I used some extra. Stuc-O-Flex Elastomeric Acrylic Finish. It provides a protective weathering membrane in a pre-colored, extremely durable, fade and mildew-resistant coating.
My pal Dan Johnson who works with Stuc-O-Flex is the man to call.
Dan’s an expert with all Stuc-O-Flex stuccos and stucco acrylics.
His number is 425 885-5085.
Stucco flexes acrylic can be used for driveways or walkways.
However, it’s almost impossible to pressure wash any oils leaked from cars off driveways.
Hence, few things adhere.
Stucco acrylics last forever on stucco walls, as it is a physical fact that cars don’t drive on walls; thus, no oil to tranny fluid to remove.
The fact is, I have found that if the concrete is super clean, it will adhere and last 20 times longer than just primer and paint; it plus be sandy so that when it rains, it’s not slippery.
My friends. I’m using stucco Stuc-O-Flex acrylic product for another purpose in this video than it was engineered for.
Can you use stucco flex acrylic products for sidewalks or driveways? I did it many times, and all were successful.
I once added all the excess stucco acrylic stucco I had saved in my garage and mixed them in a fifty-gallon trash can.
I applied the acrylics to my slopped driveway with a fat roller on a pole stick about 20 years ago. It came out grey in color and is still stuck like white on rice to that slopped driveway and is still sandy for a non-slip surface.
If you consider this method, a surface must be clean enough to eat off.
As nothing adheres to a dusty surface.
FYI, acrylic stucco sticks to almost everything.

Hey Kirk, I just used cementitious stucco to plaster an interior arch in a kitchen reno on my house, I framed the arch with materials I had, lathed it and instead of buying base coat or mixing some I just used some leftover stucco I had from another project.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Yes Dude, contraire monfraire, cement products don't have that great a shelf life, a year or two for best results. The accelerator luminite for setting cement, last about a month when opened than you have to use two times as much to set the cement, another month three times to do the same setting as when the bag was opened, and on and on. It's funny, cement bags are sort of like food eat them fresh for best results. Unless it's pizza after a rough night, tastes better than fresh.

[@malcolmnicholls2893]

Did some houses in UK with similar stuff 30 years ago (old concrete houses). It's bulletproof. The manufacturer showed various finish patterns from rollers, but they were unattainable, even by the factory reps. We settled on plain roller stipple. It's still going strong, and I'm an old b****** now !

Kirk, how would you make interior plaster as was made one hundred years ago, example the type with hair in it as a binder?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Reconciliation Dude, I'd use what's available now, such as gypsum plasters if extra strength was needed I'd get into the veneer plasters that have crushed limestone in them or even crushed marble. Back in the day, they used whatever was found in abundance including all animal hairs and human hair if available, I've read about 20 other other materials that were put into plaster to reinforce it's strength also, more than 1 way to skin a cat.

Thank you for such great info! Can this acrylic stucco go on original, stained cement and adhere? Also, how long should it cure before it is driven on?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Yes, again, the stained cement must be pressure washed to remove all the oils and grease from cars. Acrylics stick to almost anything except grease and or oil.

[@rob12449]

Kirk your videos are the best. The way you can ramble while you are working, and it is all interesting, love the awesome couple you and your wife make. Now my question. I have a driveway which was blacktop and has been sealed many times but not for about last ten years. It's rough and has some cracks but I think it is solid. I know cement is not recommended but I'm ready to try "cement all" surface for like 1/2" topping, in a small area at a time. If it holds up two years fine, if pieces crack off I can redo it. But now I'm thinking maybe the acrylic you showed here has a use. Can the acrylic be layered with time between layers? Would cement all be better on top of acrylic with sand than old blacktop? I was thinking of polybond but do not need a 30 year solution, happy to repair spots year by year.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Rob Dude blacktop or tar will shift in the extreme heat, your best bet is the acrylic, but can only be applied an eighth of an inch thick. If you put "Rapid sets cement all" which is crazy strong when the tar heats that will slowly crack and fail like any other product even poly bond. Acrylic is the way, but driveways are a nightmare to clean as the oil penetrates deep.🥳

In preparing a concrete driveway for this process, would just using a pressure washer work or pressure wash plus degreaser? Additionally, would a adhesion additive be helpful?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Not really, your on the right track with pressure washing and degreasing as driveway are tough to prepare. Unlike walls never greasy as it’s tough to park a car on a vertical wall.😉

[@sam111880]

Also for this video i could be wrong but all the product is. Is they throw in acrylic paint with there cement mixture into bottle it up. Sure if you just painted concrete it wouldn't last forever unless you put a sealer on it so you can fix it using a sealer.

Can you apply a good acrylic finish over porcelain tile on a porch and get good adhesion and be non slip? and then paint or stain?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Exterior tile work as you know should be pourous and or made of clay so that when wet you don’t slip. Porcelain tile can be pressure washed well and an acrylics finish placed or applied over but would be difficult to keep clean. I once used a masonry saw with a blade and cut some lines into marble steps, in order to give them a better grip and stop folks from slipping.

[@sam111880]

stupid questions 1) when should one use lime mixed in with there cement based products 2) when should one uses just lime + sand + water what is so important about using lime like the lime plasters , lime masonry products ,...etc Other then the color i cann't see to much is it just more for preserving it or a plasticiser property ?

[@WallaceRoseVincent]

I have the same question. I'm working on an Adobe (mud) home. I'm 99% sure I should use lime plaster over Adobe.

[@sam111880]

@@WallaceRoseVincent yes i know from research the ancients used lime plaster for there walls but not sure what the consistency was if it was just gypsum /plaster of paris mixed with lime + water or what grade of lime they used....etc Could have been just lime + cement + water or lime + cement or mortar + water. Or most likely they just mixed lime with clay + water because i don't think they discovered cement until much later they always had clay though and limestone. But the heating of it i in ratios to make cement based products i just dont think they thought of until a lot later.

Hi Kirk, this video popped up on my feed and I started watching it and wondered if the product you are using will go through your hopper gun, which you repaired the polystyrene panels under the waterfall with? Cheers Jerry

This is super awesome. I need to do my driveway with this. Where can I buy this stuc-o-flex? When I search Home Depot it is not there. I do see the La Habra equivalent. Is that also a good product? Thank you and keep up the good work.

Would this work well for a shop/garage floor? Kind of like a replacement for the expensive epoxy floors?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening dude, it would work but won't clean well as it's cementitious, go with the epoxy floor at least this can be cleaned easily. Peace, love with happiness to all. Kirk Giordano plastering tips-mixed with sound advice

Hi Kirk..need some advice .I have done a sand finish to a wall at home. I had to cut a strip of at the end that wasn't great ,about 100mm .will it be ok to just add to the existing render???thanks

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good Afternoon Gary McGovern, that depends on your level of skill, you can respread the whole wall or just fix the area that's incorrect. FYI, if any area is too sandy take a putty knife or trowel and simple and gently scrape off the excess sand. Happy holidays to you and yours, Professional answers on plastering projects

Kirk thank you for your videos. I'm curious to know where to purchase this stuff or something comparable. I'm not sure what I'm looking for I have lowes, Home Depot, Menards. Would any of these carry this stuff also not mentioned will this work in colder weather? Thank you in advance. Have a great week!!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Kevin, this product was called stucco-flex, Dryvit, Carsons, BMI just to name a few are also great, you have to go to plastering yards to purchase these products as they are not sold at Lowes or Home Depot. FYI, no matter how good an acrylic is it won't adhere to a dirty surface, for a driveway this means all the oil residues must be removed. Peace, love, and happiness to all.

Hi Kirk, How long do you think this acrylic stucco over a driveway would last? Maybe sealing the stucco would make it last longer? I Like the idea and want to try it out here in So Cal. Thanks

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Lino dude, this depends on if the driveway is cleaned well enough to eat off with especially no gas or oil stains deep down, the acrylic stucco will last forever. If the area is not prepped well perhaps two months. Peace, love with happiness to all. Kirk Giordano plastering tips-mixed with sound advice

[@DanielCruz-te4nf]

Is this acrylic finish cover imperfections on concrete topping inside my apartment better than self-leveling? I just want to cover the inperfections on the topping like cracks, but i dont want to add more thickness to my topping. Also dont want more cracks on the topping. Let me.know.

[@oksanaz5226]

Kirk howdy. So I'm back again. I did end up painting my whole backyard few years ago with a acrilic bmi product. Holding up great. One thing I noticed and my question can this stiff be clear coated with a cement sealer? For driveway. I can see it mark up with tires really bad. Also my last stuff had silica not sand from bmi. Did I need a coarser material. I believe I used smooth, And seems it marks up very easy.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good morning Oksana, keep in mind these acrylic are engineered for walls, not to be driven over. However I have used them successfully for concrete, there are three types of sand fine, medium and coarse, I'd advise medium. If the concrete has any, greases or oil spills from the cars or trucks nothing will stick to it. unfortunately, like any paint marks from tires and such are difficult to remove.

Did you have to use a bonding agent? Did you apply it on a dry surface. Usually you wet things down first but since its acrylic i wasnt sure

[@StuccoPlastering]

Hi Matthew, no primer or bonding agent is necessary if the cement is pressure washed so deep it's almost etched. The concrete this clean, the acrylic stucco will form a strong mechanical bond. Peace, love with happiness to all. Kirk Giordano plastering tips-mixed with sound advice

Howdy Vince, it's holding up as well as to be expected except by where we keep the mixer.

Howdy Richard, first of all, I'm no spring chicken, after years of rodding behind a Tommy gun and bending in ways that are not normal for a human spine, the belt helps to keep my back vertebrates where they should be. The knee pads are if I'm working on the concrete, my, fortunately, knees rarely get sore even after close to 40 years of kneeling on concrete. Got to make sure they stay that way as it's to difficult to get new knees, amazon might deliver them but who will install them?😏 Bringing peace, love, and harmony to the of, ‘plastering.’ The complete plastering encyclopedia on video, by the plastering messengers of KZbin.

Religion is no good to me if I can't get my weekly fix; where have you been. I like that idea. Would it work on a wood deck.

Howdy Stashu Dude, this acrylic stucco is engineered to go over cementitious basecoats walls on homes. However, my neighbor had it on his wooden stairs for over 5 years and it still not beginning to show signs of any wear and tear. Of course, his front stairs on the east side where the sun rises thus gets no sun, as a rule, if the sun is hot it bakes a wood wall for days without proper primers the paints or acrylic stuccoes can separate.
