Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, my son Jason - in the video today all we're doing
is a simple that's it just a sample I get a lot of calls for this right here we got a house this
particular house is two-story he's got a lot of walls with different texture this is a completely
different texture to here and all the sides are just as bad this particular location looks best
in the video because it's not in the Sun or or half the Sun so we're doing in here what
I want to show you guys is we're gonna apply an acrylic finish on this and the acrylic finish is
it's gonna make this smooth finish just a wee bit heavier it's gonna soften the mess out of
this one here now what I do first is like say we're going to do a whole wall if we knock down
the clinkers on here and so that's what I'm gonna do okay guys I've scraped off some of the really
high pieces like there so I just get those off here's a scene you see that nasty crack and you
definitely can see the difference of texture now on this particular house I would not recommend
a cementitious finish because water goes straight through it and this house has got a lot of cracks
and submit tissues finish when the house moves and it will will crack again so we're gonna go
with an acrylic finish now they're currently finished the beauty of it is yes coughs ah
heck of a lot more but the beauty of an acrylic initiative if the house shifts and we are on sand
here we're in Alameda it will shift with it so let me get started here I went ahead and
went to my vetoing yard and just got a sample now these are supposed to be the five-pound samples
and again I'm not doing a sample on just a piece of sheetrock because it wouldn't
prove anything I need the actual wall to show the homeowners what they're looking
at okay now you can see the transition I'm gonna spread this out now here we go
real glue now before I even float I'm a I'm about a foot over here and put over here the transition
is gone so that is that is the beauty of an acrylic finish and I'll show you one more thing
here now I'm gonna float it because that's what we do anyhow we take a sponge book and we just
go over that guy right there that is a finished product right there when this dries its weather
resistance kind of water they don't like to say waterproof but they say water-resistant this is
prior to a pressure washing and primer you do all that and this is the final coat now figured I'd
show you folks the dramatic difference between something very heavy and something very smooth
and what can be accomplished to make it all look right and if you can see the whole thing they're
paint enhances and flaws always has always will this is 50 times thicker than paint minimum and
I'm actually going with a course of about 55 times that's thick anyhow I hope you folks can
see that dramatic difference from there to there and see how the transition now is level down I'm
going to go ahead and scrape the soft back on my hulking back in those little pails because you
can't pressure wash this off later anyhow thank you folks for watching thanks Jay for doing video
my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering and as usual, I'll see you guys on the next one.
