Stucco

So you know what plaster is and what it isn’t now, right? So, what is stucco then? Stucco, sometimes called “render” by our neighbors across the pond, is an exterior coating that historically wasn’t much different from lime plasters.

That means nothing Douglas, ask an architect about the composition of most aggregates, they haven't got a clue. Refer you to an engineer!

neutral Richard Purdom : plaster is made using lime, but whitewash is made from pure lime as a finish.

plaster

writer probably doesn't know the difference between estuque, estucado and reboco. Normally, it's plaster on the inside and stucco on the outside.

The difference in nomenclature between stucco, plaster, and mortar is based more on use than composition. Until the latter part of the nineteenth century, it was common that plaster, which was used inside a building, and stucco, which was used outside, would consist of the same primary materials: lime and sand (which are also used in mortar). Animal or plant fibers were often added for additional strength. In the latter nineteenth century, Portland cement was added with increasing frequency in an attempt to improve the durability of stucco. At the same time, traditional lime plasters were being replaced by gypsum plaster.
