Howdy, all in this video, we’re explaining while demonstrating how to improve the look of, CMU, or cinder blocks.
This same stucco method also works for stone or rock walls; even the red clay Terra-Cotta was used about 80 to 100 years ago.
If you want to see how Terra Cotta blocks are covered with cement stucco and made 4 times as strong as usual, click here.    • Stucco over TerraCotta block walls.  
Terra-cotta block walls are still used in many parts of the world today.

FYI, no chemical bonding was necessary, "Weld-create- nor Quickrete," as the natural mechanical bond was more effective. New stucco can be applied over the cementitious Blocks.
Note it's necessary to keep the blocks moist with a water hose to achieve permanent adhesion.

If anyone thinks, man, ole Kirk is working that man to death, that’s bull.
Edgar Velasquez is my nephew. I didn’t realize he would spoil the crap out of me, bring the stucco, and drop it on my hawk.
This shaved an hour off our day and saved my knees and back.

Ratios for sand and stucco mixing by the book.
How much sand is for each coat of stucco?
  Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 2-1/4 to 4 parts sand, brown coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 3 to 5 parts sand, and finish coats are 1 part cement to 1-1/2 to 3 parts sand. 

 We often mix 3 parts of sand with every part of cement plaster.
The cement plaster we use is any Portland cement, such as Quikrete or Sakrete.
Note, Rapid Set or Greencore are sold at Home Depot but don’t need added sand, just water.
