Talk:Stucco

message: I certainly agree with the comment above; in general, the article rambles on and repeats itself about plasters and cements without getting to the point in a timely manner. The different types should really be sectioned off and made clear. Radagast 12:27, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I am looking for information on how to maintain my stucco house. Some say to paint it and some say not to. All seem to aggree that once painted it will continue to need painting.
The other thing seems to be mending cracks. While a contractor mentioned some silicate, most seem to mention using a more stucco like substance. Another topic might be how to address "wounds" in the stucco from furnature movers and high power sprayers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.198.120.221 (talk) 20:43, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maintenance 

message: How dull is this article. No, don't remove anything! Just add some information about stucco being used in "modern" (1920s and 1920s) American architecture — also its use in Spanish colonial buildings, etc. Sorry, I can't do it myself — I just like to boss people around.

thread_title:  True? 

message: To me the term "stucco" refers to the plastic moulding of all kinds of mortars. I looked it up in  and there it says that the term 'stucco' is simply the italian word for 'plaster' (which it is, as I can say as a italian speaking person). Also the cited book says that the meaning nowadays is imprecise and the term should be avoided in preference for 'plaster' and 'render'. 
My idea now would be the following:
*create an aricle about render, which describes external applications
*keep the article stucco, saying that the term has been used and is used [page 114] to describe a wide range of decorative plasterwork or render.

replies: text: I think of "render" as a builder's term. The usage of the terms is certainly variable and complicated, and has changed over time. The articles try to explain this. Personally "stucco" does not refer "to the plastic moulding of all kinds of mortars" to me (do you mean plaster-like compounds? Mortars are very different).  I think of it mainly as being external not internal. To me internal moulded plaster is "plasterwork", but it has been called stucco in English, mainly I think in the past.

text: Yes, probably I mean plaster-like compounds by "mortars". I mean a mixture of binders, aggregates, water and - sometimes - filler, additives and admixtures and I think that I had a translation problem there, since I'm not a native speaker of English. Anyway I think that merging "plaster", "stucco" and "plasterwprk" would be a good idea! --Greenadia06 (talk) 10:49, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
