7RBSR THINKING
Very fresh thinking--because this rugged, all-weather exterior finish stucco offers virtually unlimited creative expression.
Design freedom? Whether the building has curtain walls or conventional walls...whether the shape is free-form, angular, round or rectilinear...whether the application is a motel, bank, shopping center or other type of commercial or residential building, ORIENTAL Exterior Finish readily follows-where the design leads. Unlike brick, stone and block, which are rectilinear in shape and usage, ORIENTAL easily flows, curves, winds and climbs with unlimited plasticity. Contemporary in spirit and performance, ORIENTAL Exterior Finish helps tailor your buildings into valuable properties with charm, individuality and good taste.
Color? Seven designer colors, plus white, offer a wide choice to fit the building function, environment and image. Ranging from warm tones to cool, softhued pastels, they reinforce the building form, augment its character, enhance its beauty.
Texture? You have options to provide satisfying visual appeal. Choose any of these easily-applied

RT5H SAVINGS
Three important economies of ORIENTAL Exterior Finish result in significant cost savings:
1 First-cost economy--ORIENTAL costs less than brick veneer and condrete block...applies faster than unit masonry...saves up to 25% in labor costs with machine application (all colors can be machine-applied)...allows faster occupancy. It's one of the most economical finishes for curtain wall buildings. No special tools or trades required.
2 Long-term economy--Sturdy, high-strength surface is all-weather resistant. Color all the way through assures long-lasting beauty.
3 Maintenance economy--Minimal maintenance. No periodic tuckpointing. Colors never wear off --no repainting or touch-up.
/
finishes: float... texture... stipple sponge... spatterdash ... rough coat. Or select from a broad variety of aggregates (for embedding in the surface of ORIENTAL Finish). Your building can then take on richness, baroque effects, highlights and shadow--all the surprise, variety and opulence you might expect from shimmering marble or gem-like quartz chips or a controlled blending of glass, colored stones or other aggregate material. Designer details? ORIENTAL Exterior Finish opens new fields in such value-adding details as facades, porticos, pillars, balconies, cantilevers, sunscreens, domes and folded plate canopies. Color, texture, function--all are one with ORIENTAL! Blend ORIENTAL with your own imagination--the result is sure to be a more beautiful, more productive building.

CAUTION: All color selectors are affected by age, heat, light, and printing processes. Also, job applications vary with local practices. As a re sult, slight color differences may occur between the chip in this selector and the actual material after application.
mixing
ORIENTAL Exterior Finish requires iddition of clean water only. Do not add vaterproofing or anti-freeze com>ounds, sand, or other materials. All ools and equipment must be clean.
f mixing by hand, use 3 gals, of water in
he mixing box for each 100-lb. bag of
)RIENTAL Exterior Finish. Hoe into
vater and allow to soak approx. 15 min-
ites. Hoe thoroughly to smooth con
sistency.
'
f a mechanical mix is used, add the maerial to water and mix approx, three ninutes.
'recautions: Measure water accuratey; use same amount of water for each >atch mixed to insure color uniformity, yiix each batch the same length of time. )o not mix more material than can be ised in three hours.
)o not over-trowel, as this may cause :olor to concentrate on the surface.
application
vppiy ORIENTAL Exterior Finish only >ver a portland cement-lime basecoat hat is level but has been left rough mder the darby, or has been broomed ir lightly raked and properly cured, dso, to attain color uniformity, the portand cement basecoat should have uni arm suction. If necessary, it should be prayed with clean water to provide a niformly damp, "half-green" surface.
\pply a thin coat of Finish well ground ito basecoat and immediately double >ack and fill out to a uniform thickness pf approx. Ve". Work from wet unset dges to complete an entire unbroken rea in one continuous operation to liminate joinings. Trowel uniformly 3vel before starting texture.
When material stiffens and starts to set, finish with a float to an even fine-grain texture, free of blemishes. For other textures, use a broom, brush, sponge, or wadded paper, and trowel high spots to desired texture after material has stiffened sufficiently.
ORIENTAL Exterior Finish may be ma chine spray-applied in a single-coat or two-coat operation. Excessive mixing water should not be used as this may induce lime bloom or color variations under certain job conditions.
Spray-apply as follows: Single coat-- spray-apply material to basecoat to uni form thickness of approx. Vs". Work from wet edges to complete an entire unbroken area in one continuous op eration to eliminate joinings. Two coats --apply first coat with a trowel, as in hand application directions. After trow eling uniformly level, apply textured second coat by machine-spraying to total thickness of approx. Va".
After setting, spray surface with water periodically for several days to cure finish, thus helping to prevent glazed spots and lime bloom. Do not use water in floating or texturing. Do not apply in freezing weather, or immediately before or during a rainstorm.
Color variation is caused by the follow ing: (1) uneven suction of the portland cement-lime basecoat; (2) not follow ing mixing and application directions; (3) unfavorable weather conditions dur ing or after application, which hamper proper drying or curing. (Example: tem peratures too high (causing dryout) or too low (causing freezing) are the most detrimental.)
Correction can be made by applying one to three coats of ORIENTAL Ex terior Finish, hand or machine applica tion over existing finish. Avoid joinings, use same batch or code from one nat
ural stop to another (wall angles or control joints); or, if desired, decorate with any good masonry paint.
Finish Resurfacing: Follow standard di rections for mixing and application, with additional surface preparations. (1) Clean existing surface and remove all foreign materials; (2) Remove all loose or poorly bonded areas; (3) Apply bonding agent according to manufac turer's directions. Application may then proceed.
Exposed Aggregate (Marblecrete): For finish coat, follow standard mixing and application procedures, except apply embedding coat to thickness of 3/16" min. for No. 1 aggregate or Vs" min. for No. 2 or 3 aggregate--total thickness not to exceed Vfe". For appli cation of aggregate, while embedding coat is still workable, embed chips by gun or hand. Leave as placed for rough texture or use cork float to tamp. Bring chips and finish to a level plane. After setting, fog-spray surface with water for several days to cure finish.
