              portland cement and sand
A badly cracked stucco installation was saved by resurfacing. The stucco was two years old, and  had cracks in a grid about 2 feet apart.
Here, a thin portland lime and sand basecoat is applied.
Stucco resurfaced with new portland cement and sand. I doubt and cracks will ever come back.
