Stucco-Guard waterbased acrylic sealer helps protect new or aged stucco surfaces from wind-driven rain up to 124 mph. The spray-, roller-, or brush-applied coating creates a barrier for rain, and can serve as a primer that binds chalky surfaces and improves topcoat adhesion. As a topcoat, Stucco-Guard provides a non-yellowing, breathable finish that prevents color bleed fading. Stucco-Guard goes on milky white, then dries clear. 800.323.7357. www.seal-krete.com.
