Use this guide to repair cracks or chipping on your cement plastered walls.
Cracks can occur for several reasons; however, the two most common are weather erosion and aging materials. Upkeep can be time consuming, but with proper maintenance this will not have to be done often. Small cracks in your wall can quickly become larger with moisture and freezing temperatures. Adding a stucco finish to your cement wall is not necessary but is often desired for its aesthetic appeal.
This guide features the operating of power tools and basic knowledge of using cement related products. Please be aware that if not used correctly or cautiously, cement products can be dangerous. Information on cement burns can be found here.
This repair can be done in short bursts depending on the size the area you want to fix. On average, a few cracks can be fixed over the course of three days, taking roughly an hour each day. Drying time varies depending on product but averages 48 hours.
Before beginning, make sure to read through the guide to understand what will be required of you for this repair.
