[GSBN] Exterior plaster sealer?

[John Straube]

I like both mineral slicate paint (which usually has added water repellents) and the slam dunk home run solution of adding a ventilated and drained rainscreen cladding. 
A less extreme solution that may work is a siloxane / silane blend which is clear, penetrates into pores and makes the waterproof. Drying can happen faster than with Xypex and thompson water seal (pore blockers, one with mineral crystals the other with organic wax and gum).
