scratch coat
Doing a bluestone walk and stoop with a thinstone side. The stoop was poured about 2 weeks ago. I still need a scratch coat, right?

Ok, I knew not to worry about the horizontal surface, but I figured a scratch coat would be necessary for vertical.

The scratch coat should dry for 24hr, yes?
