Hi,
The synthetic stucco on my new home was started last November. Due to the freezing weather we had this winter, the contractor was forced to wait until the hemp was warmer. He left about 15 five-gallon buckets of the efts in the unseated basement. The buckets froze solid. I told the contractor about it freezing and he said it was k. I watched him open one of the buckets and he said had it been ruined, it would have actually set up in the bucket.
The problem is that since this contractor started back up again, the new walls he’s finished look gummy. The classic finish just isn’t the same as the work he finished last fall.
He says the problem is that the supplier switched formulas on him. In my heart I feel like this isn’t quite right because with the exception of two five gallon buckets, he’s still using the original buckets he brought to the site.
If efts freezes prior to application, can it still be applied properly? Or if it was ruined, could it even be applied? How will I know if the product is o.?
It’s about time to pay this contractor. He’s worked very hard but the last half of my house looks very bad.
Thanks for your advice.
Linda
