to two layers of Grade D paper.
Exception: Where the water-resistive barrier that is applied
over wood-based sheathing has a water resistance equal to
or greater than that of 60-minute Grade D paper and is separated
from the stucco by an intervening, substantially
nonwater-absorbing layer or drainage space.
International Building Code 2510.7
Preparation of masonry and concrete. Surfaces shall
