Stucco is typically a cement, sand and lime mix with water. This would also be referred to as traditional stucco,1 or 3 coat stucco or straight cement plaster . Normally it’s used as a durable exterior coating.

Plaster is a more generic term for a plastic (wet) material that is used for coating and finishing a wall that will harden over time. This can be with a base of cement but might also include clay earth, Gypsum papercrete or many other things.

The new section on Mix Design designs is growing. It now includes traditional stucco, carving/ faux recipes and ferrocement formulas.

“I had two guys mixing my mortar, and they still couldn’t keep up with me using the bigger jets on the Tool Crete Stucco Sprayer. A four day job took me one day to complete. I’m really excited about using this tool on my next job.” -Joseph Armeni of Conneaut, OH
