Faux stone FAILURE in progress!

A couple of the right tools sure would help it stick better if they were used right!






















The scarfire/scratcher is the preferred tool for the job but the notched trowel will do the same job and help keep it the same depth!


Sure helps the Faux stone/glorified finish stick to the scratch cote and lath!








Kickouts preferably the DRYFLEKT if not then one with sealed/folded seams that will kick the water out into the gutters and not down the face of the cladding sure would help a lot too!


In this set of installation videos what do you see used for scratching/notching the wall so the stone will adhere better?

And in the pictures that are in the links do you see any scratch cote or kickouts,weepscreed,casing/66 bead around all of the edges for the backer rod and sealant joint?


And the windows and FAUX wood trim are also improperly installed.
