making my dome waterproof

Re: making my dome waterproof

Not sure if the product is available there but it is called Dryvit. Acrylic based, any color you want, and bullet proof against the elements. I need to touch mine up a bit but that is after 6 years of freeze/thaw. And it's only been compromised at the base.

I'd love to keep my dome open to the elements, without my two ugly tarps, but I'm concerned about moisture getting inside to the insulation. Should I use some kind of a sealant? Here's what I have so far for dome stucco:

First I put down a layer of regular stucco (traditional, nothing synthetic) then stucco with a synthetic fiber, then a synthetic stucco top layer (can't remember what they said was in it, but it has a plasic-y kind of feel, seems more water proof.) The color was way lighter than I wanted, so I put one more very thin (1/16-1/8") layer of darker, regular stucco (no synthetic) since I thought the color would be more durable than paint.

Would a sealant be overkill?
