Hi guys, Kirk and Jay are here with Kirk Giordano plastering a little project. We're going to do a
scratch in the brown on this little patchwork my buddy Stacey Mackey with Mackey builders I
was doing a kitchen and bathroom remodel here in Berkeley. Let me give you Stacey's number because
he's all over the place, and he is one of the best in the business. Every code 5 10 5 3 3 3
4 5 6 my buddy Stacey anyhow when we get Jason's going to mix me up some mud we're just going to
do both coats on this Stacey went ahead and did the paper wire called me up said Kirk can you
match this finish and of course he knows i can so we'll show you how we match this hopefully within
about 10 minutes by the time Jason's done mixing it the Sun will be over here and you'll be able to
see this way we finish okay guys we are standing on this platform and since the sun is not really
in an angle where you can see these particular patterns this first bucket right here we'll just
do to scratch it Jay's actually mixed it you can see a set up right there got the drill that drill
set in water and we are using a rapid set product the rapid set product will be just right for this
base coat this is what we consider a scratch and in about 15 minutes hopefully the Sun will be over
here and then you'll be able to see this Adobe finish and Adobe comes in a hundred different
ways basically it's just a coat laid over a couple coats with some details in it that's the adobe all
right guys we're going to put this up texture on it until J mix it up a little bit richer mix it up
a little bit richer it'll have different color because it's less sand just to show you folks
what I'm referring to as far as this texture if it if you don't have on this wall the Sun on it
soon I'll show you on a different wall that's already hot what the heck we're doing what I'm
doing is using my trial on edge right here to open it because so it'll dry faster all right now I'm
going to go ahead and put some of these humps in it a little bit all right now I'm looking at what
they got here come on off of their kind of sticky mud that's okay we can work with it let's see
if the Sun was on this I could see a little bit better they're mainly six inches apart so we'll
do the same thing i'm going to give this about up about 30 minutes and then I'm going to come back
and float that in what that means is I'm going to take sponge float with water and go over all
these and soften them up so that it matches this finish here okay guys um that looked like the
sun's going to allow us to show you much here but basically what I did is I put a few humps
and bumps and then I just take this sponge float here i have my buddy here who is a good carpenter
he actually built this I told him in I sure hope you don't see this video because he does such a
nice job laughing it if he watches me do this that I won't be able to do these finishes no
more anyway all I'm all I'm doing guys I'm looking at this finish and it's softened this is this is
sharp so I have to soften this finish so a fella like me can't use the the old excuse i'll paint
it ten times a little match you can paint it you prime it and paint it once and it's supposed to
match so I'm going to continue going over this just like this a lot of water more water on it
the better let the water drip on it and that'll soften it up turn this float and hopefully I got
about ten minutes hopefully the Sun will be on this wall and when i get done i'll be able to
show you what the heck we did here ok guys we are finishing things up so that never did get
a hold of this wall but you get an idea i was telling my buddy Joe here that once Josie's
anybody does anything he could mimic it so this is probably the last job I'm doing for Stacy Mackay
anyhow folks you just keep going over it until it softens it up and we leave the little hump
psyche what we have take a water hose clean you all off you ever get yelled out for being too
clean me neither anyway guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering Jason on
the camera remember guys it's a two-man job if Jason had mixed this just right I can't apply
it just right we thank you for watching and as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
