Claim:
1. A mixture comprising: a. an acrylic core-shell redispersible polymer powder comprising an external shell polymer associated with an internal core polymer wherein the core polymer is an acrylic polymer having a glass transition temperature in a range of −40 to 50 degrees Celsius and the shell polymer is an alkali soluble polymer that contains more carboxyl-group functionalities than the core polymer, the acrylic core-shell redispersible powder further comprising a nucleating agent having a boiling point in a range of 150-500 degrees Celsius and a water solubility of 3.5 weight-percent or less; and b. a second redispersible polymer powder selected from vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer redispersible polymer powders and polymer powders of a blend of vinyl acetate ethylene copolymer and vinyl ester of versatic acid copolymer; where the concentration of the acrylic redispersible polymer powder (a) is more than 20 weight-percent and less than 100 weight-percent of the total combined weight of redispersible powders (a) and (b).
