Stucco on old blocks
I am
looking for
a way to upgrade the appearance of my cinder block wall (fence) and the
cinder block walls of an addition on my house. The cinder block
wall
(fence) has not been painted, but the house addition which is also
constructed
of cinder blocks has been painted. Can cinder block be stuccoed
over?
Is this a project for a Do-It-Yourselfer? Also, the original house
stucco
has unfortunately been painted and is starting to peel away. What
options do I have in refinishing the walls?
No, this isn't a project for a
Do-It-Yourselfer.
You need to find someone
experienced to do it.
Your cinder block fence that has never
been painted
is no problem.
Since blocks were invented for a plaster
base,
mortar bonds
fine and goes on fast. On block, we
never (that's a lie, maybe rarely) get
any cracks.
Unfortunately, when the blocks have been
painted,
it is a little more complicated.
Don't ever let anybody talk you into
putting
on a chemical bonck or bonding agent on
the painted block. It will fail and the stucco
will pop off.
I have a great method for stucco over painted brick or block
in the future:
