Cracks in the scratch coat and brown coat?
Reggie,
I having a house built. Should the scratch coat have a bunch of cracks or holes in it ? The Stucco installer says it is normal to have both since the color coat will cover it.
>> Thanks for having such an informative site! I noticed on your FAQ page that hairline cracks in the brown coat are common. I am currently going through the process of 3 coat stucco and did notice numerous hairline cracks in our brown coat. .......Should I have any concerns ?
It is normal to have cracks in the brown coat. They are caused by normal shrinkage. They will be filled in by the finish coat
Don't worry
Be happy
