Default paining new stucco patch/repairs

no can...80lb bag of stucco mix (quickcrete I think)..bag says 30 days but
that's after two base coats and one finish coat about 3/4 inch total...I am
just spreading top patches about 1/4" thick..with the typical southwest
roughed up texture...so someplace it's even thinner.

seems to me the 30 days is for the complete job...with all three
coats...that makes sense ? Question is what's the problem (how long to wait)
with painting a thin patch layer over a 3/4 inch thick 30 year old stucco
wall ?

How long should you wait after applying patch work stucco to a block wall
house ? I have patched many small and a few larger areas and am ready to
paint. I read somewhere where stucco takes 28 days to completely cure ?
The stucco patches have been on a week...is it ok to paint over them now
?

Thanks, Tim R


stucco patch is not stucco.

what does it say on the side of the can? is there an 800 # on it? if so,
what did they say when you called it and asked this question?
