Base Coat Application<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Before](\"https:\/\/skystuccosystems.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Stucco-Chimney-Before-and-after-Mississauga-Toronto-GTA-scaled-1-683x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou should protect it from sun\/water damage. When you expose the EPS board to sunlight for extended periods, a powdery film develops on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional safety at doors and windows is accomplished by applying
\u201cbutterflies\u201d or small strips of mesh sideways at the sills and headers
before application of field mesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can remove it by rasping. Now that we know this let’s look at the step-by-step to apply your base coat correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application at the corners <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
All inside and outside corners should have two(2) layers of mesh. This can
be accomplished in one of three(3) ways:
\u2022 Double wrap Mesh minimum 8\u201c (204mm) in each direction.
\u2022 Apply Corner Mat and overlap Mesh up to the corner.
\u2022Also, apply Detail Mesh and overlap with Mesh minimum
8\u201d (204mm) onto the adjacent wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application at wall areas <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Apply the base coat on the insulation boards in a coating approximately 1\/8″ (3 mm) thick. Work vertically or horizontally in lines of
40\u201d (1016mm). Also, instantly imbed the Mesh in the wet base coat.
Trowel off any additional base coat from the surface. You should embed the Mesh fully so that no mesh color is visible. Apply an extra base
coat if mesh color is visible and the base coat is dry. Do not butt mesh strips. Exist side-by-side the strip edges a minimum of 2-1\/2″ (64 mm).
If the mesh is butted, it will result in cracks in the base and finish coats.
Feather the base coat at mesh extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coverage for base coat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. When applying EIFS Base Coat adhesive as an adhesive using a 3\/8\u201d x 3\/8\u201d x 3\/8\u201d notched trowel to adhere enhanced polystyrene (EPS) insulation board to desirable substrates (70-80 sq\/ft) per bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. When applying EIFS Base Coat adhesive for the embedding of Reinforcing Mesh expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- 4.3oz = 130-140 sq\/ft per bag<\/li>
- 15oz = 90-100 sq\/ft per bag<\/li>
- 20oz = 70-80 sq\/ft per bag<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
3. When applying as a leveling coat, coverage relies on the thickness applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that coverage may vary depending on the conditions of the applicator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixing of base coat <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Use a clean empty 5 gallon. Do not use a container that has come into contact with a petroleum-based product. 1. Empty the contents of 1 Dry mix EIFS BaseCoat adhesive. 2. Put in approximately 1 1\/4 gallons of clean water per bag of Dry Mix BaseCoat. 3. Stir well with a drill mixer until a similar consistency is accomplished. 4. Let stand 5-10 minutes. 5. After the initial set , re-stir. Let stand 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things you should know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Do not apply to frozen surfaces or containing ice.
\u2022 Do not use if the ambient temperature or surface temperature is less than
13 \u00b0 C (55 \u00b0 F).
\u2022 Do not leave DUROCK Basecoat as finishing; it recommends
applying a sealer and finish.
\u2022 Do not apply basecoat on facades where there is a risk of getting wet
from the rain. Project the application to avoid the runoff and weathering
of the fresh product.
\u2022 Check the finishing so it will be consistent with the cement surfaces.
Store material in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain
temperature above four(4) \u00b0C (40 \u00b0F).
Shelf Life should be up to 12 months under protected storage conditions.
Keep out moisture.
Avoid dew point conditions or excessive moisture.
After opening the bag, close hermetic as possible and stowing 60 packs maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acceptable practices we can follow <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Stir periodically during use to maintain a smooth, comfortable texture. The working time is about 3 hours.
\u2022 In hot and dry climates, you can moisten the surface of cement board
before applying a uniform layer to slow the drying duration of the compound and prevent possible cracks.
\u2022 The mesh should not be visible through the Basecoat.
\u2022 Maximum thickness proposed should be 3 mm. (1\/8 \u201c) across the
surface.
\u2022 Before the Basecoat is dry, you can sharpen the texture with a wet float.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Safety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To handle and correctly apply Basecoat, we recommend the following safety equipment:
\u2022 Mask to keep safe nose and mouth to prevent dust inhalation.
\u2022Wear safety glasses for safety during application.
\u2022 Gloves, the alkalinity of the outcome can infuriate the skin if the contact is
tightened.
\u2022 Hard hat, Steel-Toe boots, tool belt are some of the attachments expected
to work on-site.
Dust may irritate sights, skin, nose, throat, and upper respiratory
region. Avoid irritation by decreasing exposure to dust. Use in a well-ventilated area or give adequate local ventilation.
Follow these acceptable safety hygiene practices during installation. Also, wear appropriate personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou should protect it from sun\/water damage. When you expose the EPS board to sunlight for extended periods, a powdery film develops on the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additional safety at doors and windows is accomplished by applying
\u201cbutterflies\u201d or small strips of mesh sideways at the sills and headers
before application of field mesh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can remove it by rasping. Now that we know this let’s look at the step-by-step to apply your base coat correctly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application at the corners <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
All inside and outside corners should have two(2) layers of mesh. This can
be accomplished in one of three(3) ways:
\u2022 Double wrap Mesh minimum 8\u201c (204mm) in each direction.
\u2022 Apply Corner Mat and overlap Mesh up to the corner.
\u2022Also, apply Detail Mesh and overlap with Mesh minimum
8\u201d (204mm) onto the adjacent wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Application at wall areas <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Apply the base coat on the insulation boards in a coating approximately 1\/8″ (3 mm) thick. Work vertically or horizontally in lines of
40\u201d (1016mm). Also, instantly imbed the Mesh in the wet base coat.
Trowel off any additional base coat from the surface. You should embed the Mesh fully so that no mesh color is visible. Apply an extra base
coat if mesh color is visible and the base coat is dry. Do not butt mesh strips. Exist side-by-side the strip edges a minimum of 2-1\/2″ (64 mm).
If the mesh is butted, it will result in cracks in the base and finish coats.
Feather the base coat at mesh extensions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Coverage for base coat<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
1. When applying EIFS Base Coat adhesive as an adhesive using a 3\/8\u201d x 3\/8\u201d x 3\/8\u201d notched trowel to adhere enhanced polystyrene (EPS) insulation board to desirable substrates (70-80 sq\/ft) per bag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. When applying EIFS Base Coat adhesive for the embedding of Reinforcing Mesh expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- 4.3oz = 130-140 sq\/ft per bag<\/li>
- 15oz = 90-100 sq\/ft per bag<\/li>
- 20oz = 70-80 sq\/ft per bag<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
3. When applying as a leveling coat, coverage relies on the thickness applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Note that coverage may vary depending on the conditions of the applicator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mixing of base coat <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Use a clean empty 5 gallon. Do not use a container that has come into contact with a petroleum-based product. 1. Empty the contents of 1 Dry mix EIFS BaseCoat adhesive. 2. Put in approximately 1 1\/4 gallons of clean water per bag of Dry Mix BaseCoat. 3. Stir well with a drill mixer until a similar consistency is accomplished. 4. Let stand 5-10 minutes. 5. After the initial set , re-stir. Let stand 5-10 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things you should know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Do not apply to frozen surfaces or containing ice.
\u2022 Do not use if the ambient temperature or surface temperature is less than
13 \u00b0 C (55 \u00b0 F).
\u2022 Do not leave DUROCK Basecoat as finishing; it recommends
applying a sealer and finish.
\u2022 Do not apply basecoat on facades where there is a risk of getting wet
from the rain. Project the application to avoid the runoff and weathering
of the fresh product.
\u2022 Check the finishing so it will be consistent with the cement surfaces.
Store material in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight. Maintain
temperature above four(4) \u00b0C (40 \u00b0F).
Shelf Life should be up to 12 months under protected storage conditions.
Keep out moisture.
Avoid dew point conditions or excessive moisture.
After opening the bag, close hermetic as possible and stowing 60 packs maximum.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAcceptable practices we can follow <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\u2022 Stir periodically during use to maintain a smooth, comfortable texture. The working time is about 3 hours.
\u2022 In hot and dry climates, you can moisten the surface of cement board
before applying a uniform layer to slow the drying duration of the compound and prevent possible cracks.
\u2022 The mesh should not be visible through the Basecoat.
\u2022 Maximum thickness proposed should be 3 mm. (1\/8 \u201c) across the
surface.
\u2022 Before the Basecoat is dry, you can sharpen the texture with a wet float.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSafety<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
To handle and correctly apply Basecoat, we recommend the following safety equipment:
\u2022 Mask to keep safe nose and mouth to prevent dust inhalation.
\u2022Wear safety glasses for safety during application.
\u2022 Gloves, the alkalinity of the outcome can infuriate the skin if the contact is
tightened.
\u2022 Hard hat, Steel-Toe boots, tool belt are some of the attachments expected
to work on-site.
Dust may irritate sights, skin, nose, throat, and upper respiratory
region. Avoid irritation by decreasing exposure to dust. Use in a well-ventilated area or give adequate local ventilation.
Follow these acceptable safety hygiene practices during installation. Also, wear appropriate personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNow you know the process to guide you for installation.
