hi guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering, we're gonna do today is look up
you'll see a couple cracks on this building well the fella called me and he told me about what was
happening here so I said what's the address so yesterday I typed in the address of Google Maps
and it showed me a picture of this of course it was last year but I could still see the cracks
so right away I knew well gee if it was a building about 7080 years old I know what to look for and I
I thought only a wood structure building with the wood laughs can do this or a skim coat so right
away I knew it was a skim coat coming off anyhow I came I came out here yesterday I set up a ladder
and I touched this area here I'm about to pull up a ladder right now I wanna when I pull the ladder
out I'll show you exactly how and what is going on here it's just the skim coat that they applied
here they didn't put the bonding agent directly on the building so I mean this is only 1% that's
or less than 1% coming off I informed the fella who called me they didn't put the bonding agent
right here more likely you may have some other issues along the side people along the face but
what we're gonna do today is we're gonna correct these little areas and what I'm gonna do is scrape
them off and replaster them that's what happens when you put the bonding agent in the mixer so
as you can do that though technically you cannot do that I've never done that because I already
know from 30 years ago this will happen anyhow when I set the ladder up I'll show you exactly
what I'm referring to sure what I did yesterday I came here and I felt this and I thought whoa
just like a bladder so I poked it yesterday and all the water started pouring out that's what's
happening water's getting behind here and it's some of the areas that are loose I've got to
come off now and what we're gonna do is after I scrape all these bad pieces off the wire brush it
applied your well feet directly to the building and repair it here's what we're looking at
just just the skin some of this is elastomeric pink actual quarter-inch thick that's a quarter
inch thick all right guys that didn't take long a little bit more than I expected but sometimes you
get started the whole thing comes off sometimes it you can find a stop point I touched a rod
yesterday and I thought it was just contained here but you always want to remove more than not
enough and you know you had enough one you scraped like this nothing more is coming on you're fine
now we're gonna wire brush this and we range from almost a half-inch to nothing right here
is just paint so we're gonna feather all this in and this side here where again if they had
applied weld cream to the wall here this wouldn't be happening but a lot of folks just simply don't
know that you cannot put the body an agent into the mix can't do it won't work trust me anyway
we're gonna get busy and fix this all right Jay's using the wire brush he's about to apply the lemon
a brother new picking everything up for us okay guys now I'm applying the weld Crete this blue
stuff they don't like when we do a color code I usually dilute this I'm using full strength
here full strength and I'm actually doing a couple of coats because now I'm putting on stucco close
to half inch stick up here then we're gonna feather into about 1/16 to 1/8 right down here
this is real simple finish the match
wrap up here this heavy float finish with aggregate every which way very simple to
match we use a sponge float this skin on here is again it goes from a half-inch to
eight so it's ready to go, and this is what we do all the edges and this will
last forever the rest will come off before our patches because we've used the right
prep work anyhow my name is Turk I have with Kirk giordano plastering, thank you, folks,
for watching the simple skim coat as such as this we'll see you guys on the next one
