howdy folks Kirk and Jayson here with another tip of the day, these one-coat materials and how to
fix your patches around your house this is like the three bears story we got three windows they
removed one here anyway here's what we do guys now you folks who watch what we do and say gee
Kirk you should come with a warning on your videos saying you make it look a lot easier
than it actually is for us that's all we do so it is kind of easy this window here they
took it away and they went ahead and laughed it they did that two layers of paper and the wire
17 gauge 18 it all works it got inspected all this laughs got inspection what we do
is we apply the base coat the scratch coat and then we give it some scratch marks and that is
for a mechanical bond what's the mechanical bond well you come back to do the brown coat and this
is for you homeowners we do things a different way you missed it all you put your second coat
on which is called the brown coat and no it is not brown why do they call it a brown coat no a
thirtysomething yes you put your second coat but you missed it and the second coat is wet
so the two have a mechanical bond that you always scratch horizontally if you scratch
this way in a wet winter it can drag down then next we're gonna go to this guy right here now
this one we browned out most of it or we put the second coat on most of it I'll show you something
guys okay I didn't brown out what little area use this little plaster scoop Jake showed how
to make those in another video okay I just left this little part here to prove a point guy you
got your scratch marks in it maybe take some mud and you fill that out this is called it's called
a brown coat but it's a second coat and notice this is moist and if it sets a day or two or three
wet it missed us so that it can get the proper mechanical bond okay so we apply the second color
then what we do is after you got that on we use a hard rubber float now a hard rubber float is
designed to pack it now let's see what what the heck happened to the hard rubber float all right
here okay take this hard rubber float this is a green sponge float this brings out the sound of
the aggregate this right here compacts it oh you take it and you want to go upward motions guys
and you just press on it hard the equivalent oh say about thirty pounds if you're curling
a dumbbell thirty pounds you want to put about that much pressure you want to compact it and
put a joint which is the most critical take it and slice it upwards like this up work here slice it
into your new work the joint is critical because the joint is what separates like say a homeowner
or from a professional if you have a really bad joint when it's painted that patch is gonna show
I'm glad to be away from that Bulgin very Bush that's got two inch spikes got me in the neck
a minute ago ah anyway now this is what we do we call the detection the third coat the finish coat
now notice this material here it is the scratch it's a base coat can I use a base coat to get
this finish no can anybody else do it and say gee Kirk I'm a lot better than you because I could
match that texture with a base coat it can't be done you can get close and I can get close but to
prove a point I'm using a finished coat material this right here they got Western Omega La Habra
it's a finish coat material they come in three different finishes fine medium and heavy okay so
we'll take the texture and now all we're going to do is we look at what we're going over and by the
way guys it's a good buddy of Mines house and he says Kirk can you do the windows I said sure
I'll do the windows go ahead and tape them in get him ready for me he did the last two I get
here that's like that's it that's that's how you cover windows and he says well I wrote a comment
and somebody said you guys were so good you could plaster between raindrops that's really cute but
anyway you guys cover the windows completely for us it's not a big deal I thought this guy spent
more time doing goofy faces then he did covered another story anyway guys what I'll do is I'll
take a finish material don't try to use a base for this fine lace texture otherwise when it's painted
it's gonna be ugly guys so don't do that anyway what we're doing now is I'm taking some of this
texture here and skipping it easy as that guys but again a skip choppin it it takes a little bit of
practice when I worked Union that's all I did for like a month just I was one of the guys who
did the finish coach so that give you an idea how much practice it might take and what you do is you
lightly put it on guys I'm putting it on super ly like I'm barely holding the child actually using
just my fingers right here and letting it balance because if you go hard you're gonna pancake it and
it'll just be a pancake instead of a skip trial finish so you kind of let the wall pull it off
I'm letting the wall pull off the mud that's the ticket guys let the let the work pull it
off and if this set for three or four days and it was white or rock-hard you got a month wet
it moist it otherwise this won't adhere so want a quick shout-out for my buddy goes by the name
of Bowser online but his real name is Michael Oh Michael battling an illness we wish you well
brother because we know you're gonna get over that illness Sicilian buddy of mine a paisan no
Michael man Kuno Mancuso makuu so man that is a Sicilian name all right I keep telling them I'm
gonna end up in Florida with you guys and he says when I said as soon as somebody gets tired of hot
weather and a nasty blue ocean I'm gonna trade my house in Alameda where the weather is really
gorgeous cuz it's the barrier or something out there we love the hot weather anyhow moving on
moving on from my Paisano buddy to what i'm doing here see how you see how that is guys
hey the skip child texture is achieved only with a finish material and if you guys say whoa Jake
didn't mention the finish material well there's La Habra a mega Western a whole bunch and these
these finish coat material has been been being sold since 1920 stick Habra came up with these
and these are maintenance free but I'm not worried about maintenance free because they're gonna paint
this however the bags are pre sanded so you got fine medium and heavy anyway guys that's it in a
nutshell guys if you're new newbies don't try to do the base coat and all this in one day we do it
because we know about all these products and how they excel and it's not so much applying them it's
knowing when they set because if you put it on and it sets good luck these have such a high strength
you're never going to scrape it off anyway we thank you for watching and as usual live long
