Expert Verdict — Reviewed by the SuperArbor Pro Desk
Genesis DM works as both the adhesive and the base coat in a Dryvit EIFS assembly, which simplifies material staging on the wall. Mix with clean water to a consistent, workable consistency and follow the bag directions for pot life. Coverage depends on whether it is being used for notched-trowel adhesive application or base coat over mesh, so plan bag counts per the system's coverage guidance.
Cementitious dust is irritating; wear gloves, eye protection and a dust mask when mixing and follow the bag safety directions.
Order Dryvit Genesis DM dry-mix adhesive and base coat in the 50 lb bag for your EIFS project.
