Can this be applied over metal lath instead of the sticky mesh hd?
Asked by mike January 16, 20182
AnswersHello mike, You can apply Tuff II using metal lath. Because lath is typically thicker, you would need to do it in multiple coats. You don't want to do more than 1/8" coat at one time without letting it dry between coats. Depending on the lath, it may take 3-5 coats to build it up enough to get a good finish.

Asked by Brew08 May 8, 20181
AnswerHello Brew08, For exterior applications, it is not recommended to apply Tuff II directly to plywood. You will need to apply a moisture barrier to the plywood, then attach rigid foam insulation, and coat the foam. Alternatively, you can use cement board instead of plywood and apply Tuff II directly to that, without the need for a moisture barrier.

Absolutely What The Job Required

We had Styrofoam over cement brick on our exterior basement walls. The original cement looking covering had cracked off over 25 years and there were holes in the Styrofoam. I applied sticky mesh tape then used a hopper to spray the first thin coat of Tuff II (tanner color) over the mesh. I then applied two more coats by hand as I wanted a stucco look. It hardened beautifully and looks great. I am very pleased with the results and loved being able to coordinate the color with our siding. Home Depot shipped for free to our door. Successful project completed.

Well first of all I received White, not the Tanner color. No biggie as I was pretty sure I'd paint it anyways. I have used this product several times and have been very pleased with the results. It's like a miracle in a 5 gallon bucket.

May 30, 2018
I used Tuff II to cover 2" of Dow Corning Foamular XPS rigid foam on the outside of our basement walls. Living in NY state, rigid foam is required in basements, but it can be either on the inside or outside of the foundation. If on the inside, there's the added expense of finishing off the walls so as not to leave the rigid foam exposed. On the outside, it's only necessary to coat the foam with something to keep it from being exposed to sunlight and from chipping and cracking. I used 2 coats of Tuff II over sticky mesh. It trowels on easily, though the process itself is a bit of a learning experience. When you start out, you'll probably find a third of it goes on the ground, at least until you get the hang of troweling it onto your walls. The end result is very nice. A tough coating that doesn't need paint and resists denting and chipping from the errant stone from your lawn mower or abuse from a weed whacker. I am convinced this is an excellent way to solve the problem of exposed rigid foam.

Product was OK
September 30, 2015
I had one and a half buckets stored over winter 2014-15 and used them first in Aug 2015. This older product was more viscous and was a bit easier to apply than the new bucket that I had purchased in Aug 2015. I do not know if that was due to storing the product over the winter (kept from freezing). Or not. The product color consistency between the older buckets and new one was good. No mismatch. The product dried to a good hard finish. It was a bit harder to trowel the new bucket product because it was a bit more runny. Otherwise the product did what it was supposed to do.
Just what the doctor ordered
September 29, 2014
This product was perfect for my need, covering rigid foam insulation that I had applied to my basement walls. It comes ready mixed, was easy to apply, and looks great. And it appears to be very durable. The company, Styro Industries, has an easy to follow video on their website on how to apply the product. I couldn't be happier. Ordering through Home Depot was super easy and the price was very competitive. The product was delivered on time to my door with free shipping. Also, I ordered too much and was able to return the unopened pail to my local Home Depot. It couldn't have been easier. In summary, a great product and great shopping experience through Home Depot.
Excellent workability
October 1, 2013
Applied this product directly to a concrete foundation wall and the application and coverage was as advertised. Ran some test pieces by applying on foam board. Excellent adhesion and rock hard result...really surprised since we did not use the mesh. Highly suggest obtaining samples from Styro Industries if you are trying to choose a colored product.
