How long does German schmear last?

• <div><p>German schmear is a durable brick masonry coating. It should last at least a decade or two without flaking or fading, even with minimal maintenance. This makes it an economical option compared to the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-paint-house-exterior.htm">cost of painting your house exterior</a>, which usually needs to be repainted every five to 10 years to keep it looking its best—thus costing more over the same time period.</p></div>

Q: What is the expected duration for applying traditional stucco?

• <div><p>Installation typically takes 3-7 days, depending on the area size and drying time between layers.</p></div>

Q: Is stucco more affordable than vinyl siding?

• <div><p>No, stucco siding tends to be more expensive than vinyl siding. While the materials for stucco are less costly, the labor-intensive application process increases the total project budget. If you're comparing stucco versus vinyl siding based on cost alone, vinyl siding would be the winner there. In terms of longevity, on the other hand, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-stucco-last.htm">stucco lasts</a> for around 50 years, 10 to 30 years longer than vinyl siding, making it a better long-term investment.</p></div>

Q: How long should stucco dry before it rains?

• <div><p>You should aim to let stucco dry for at least 48 hours before it rains. While misting new stucco and keeping it moderately moist is important for strength and longevity, uncontrolled exposure to rain can lead to weak stucco that doesn&rsquo;t bond properly. Rain can also affect the stucco finish and the color unevenly, leaving you with less appealing siding.</p></div>

Q: Will Quikrete set without mixing?

• <div><p>Quikrete will set without mixing. The process of pouring dry concrete into your concrete form and then adding water is called dry pouring. While this method makes pouring concrete simpler and easier, it reduces its strength and durability. It can be a viable option for small, decorative concrete pavers for walkways or for setting fence posts, but it&rsquo;s not ideal for pouring slabs that will bear any significant amount of weight.</p></div>
