First Stages of Rock Walls

Hi guys, I sure would appreciate some input from you pros! The indoor pool building is constructed of masonry. I am applying 4" of foam that is tied back to the wall and we are going to "shape" the foam into the rough rock formations before installing the wire netting. I would like to use a one coat stucco for the base coat. This is a locally available inexpensive product that is intended for vertical applications (http://www.westernblended.com/materials/1%20Kote%20Gray%20Concentrate.pdf), it also has fibers to help with cracking. The final top coats I am considering are Tru-pac, Vertifaux or Brickform’s Vertical Mix. Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!!

Told you I was an artist experimenting with Kirtbag, i.e., I will be using it over an armature to make a sculpture. I usually use Portland cement and fine aggregates such as steel wool, sand or whatever because I want the sculpture to be smooth. You shipped me a bag and appologized for leaving the directions out. How about sending the instructions via email or something? Thanks.

Comment by Patricia Roukens on July 1, 2013 at 2:17pm: Nathan, are you telling me I can't use Kirt's bag with Portland cement?

Comment by jeff kirt/ kirtbag Carving mix on July 1, 2013 at 3:14pm: Ok, I'm sorry for that. Kirtbag is to be mixed with 80lb mortar mix, type s preferably. Send me your email and I will get you those instructions promptly. You do not mix it with straight cement. You can get mortar mix which has Portland and sand mixed together in a 80 lb bag. Please call me if you have questions. Thanks
