    I am trying to use La Habra Santa Barbara smooth stucco on a garden block wall (scratch coat already done). The specs say the finish coat should be 1/8 of an inch. But I would like to make it thicker (around 3/8 of an inch). Is there any problem with going thicker on the finish coat? I know it will cost more in materials, but any problems with cracking?
    thanks

    jim, specs say 1/8th so why go thicker.
    If it was meant to be thicker, they would say so. Cos, they can sell more of it that way!!!!
