hello folks Kirk and Jason here wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays today I want
to show you guys something that it's kind of boring it's just crack repair and say somebody
put stencils up addresses and things like that now a lot of you guys you watch we do a lot of other
videos which show complete stucco jobs but this is actually what a lot of folks have they have cracks
they have a lot of different things going on here so what we're gonna do is I'm gonna climb up here
Jay's actually in this ladder he's going in front of me scraping everything off I'm just coming
right behind him and doing some patch work I'll show you what we're doing when we get up there
and how you two can do your own if you have any kind of scrapes crack or anything similar to this
because this is more of what you guys actually watch this for because it's more in line rather
than teaching you how to stucco a whole house by the way of course we have those videos too all
right guys it is cold I mean I'm talking really cold if I didn't have this Santa hat on I'd be
wearing a beanie I'll show you what we've been doing some glue that people use is really good
over here I mean we're just basically scraping this off with razors and you guys all know about
the famous three-in-one putty knife this this'll work too but it's you got to get it going anyway
I'm just showing you this because somebody might say gee it's an easy way to get that off yeah with
a razor blade no need for big tools but in cold weather like this often what we'll do is we'll use
a caulking and because it's so cold it's really it's like 49 degrees yeah it's really hard to come
out of the tube here so what we want to do is just we want to just fill these holes up and let us
squeeze out guys let us squeeze out is this that's not caulking right there guys we need something
a little bit more with substance II we're gonna put a cement in there because this is cement over
concrete I'll show you another thing too of course when you're working in really cold weather like
this that's kind of a drag your freeze and the caulking doesn't want to come off or out of this
tube you've got to really get it hard I'll show you what I do guys again this kind of boring stuff
and everybody got a caulk cracks holes and things like this this works if it's if you have a crack
on your house right now this here because we're so high up is anybody even gonna see this no but at
the same time I'm using my trial just like if I'm stuck when I'm pushing it all the way in taking it
and getting that line off there's a line right here that I don't know if the camera will show
it but it shows where the paint also was removed so I'm going every which way and filling that up
again will that show not really we just tap it and this way you're squeezing that caulking in
get it get it in there tight guys yeah hold that ladder fun who's back with us come on Lou we're
up high we're trying to make it look like it's not scary okay we have we have a farmers market going
on right here and hundreds of people walking by underneath us and do they care no do they show any
fear about getting dripped on no they're just down to thinking why Santa up there plaster okay guys
I mean that's done it's it's not that when you're this high up this stuff never you never see it but
if you say man I want to make it look really pretty hit with a sponge flow and just go in
the same directions because this is a SAN finished it's a 40 to 60 year old sand finish guys and this
this right here the sponge float is to bring the sand out and the sand the caulking i'm using does
have sand in it how about that so I'm gonna hit that again but they have it as far as caulking and
as far as the bigger stuff you think hey can the call can be used for the bigger stuff not really a
less say you plan on coming back like if I use any kind of caulking in here and by the way I'm using
a more Fleck it has sand in it so that it matches this finish here which really is real close now we
got some cement here now this cement is rapidset where do you get rapidset home depot I'm Depot
Lowe's and look how fast when they say rapid say maybe rapid set we just mixed this okay so rapid
set set in a matter of minutes guys and what all I'm doing is for the big stuff here we want we
want it to set hard we wanted to set solid and secure and Lou you mix me up a bucket like that
that's all we're gonna need for here until we turn this building that goes into garbage because you
can't remix it what's this blue stuff that's just a bonding agent because rapidset like all stucco
has got to be put over something clean clean dry and free of dirt and I didn't see much dirt in
there but the bonding agent gets out any dirt plus it it'll hold it in there forever and that's all
it is right there guys if you had the time and you said man I want to go to Home Depot or Lowe's and
buy any rapid set or any other kind of stucco you could fill this up with caulking and just
use your trial and go over it but the next day it'll shrink up it will show you cup guys because
it's it's not made to go that thick what happens you come back the next day and you put a little
bit more right over and boom that's done so you don't have to use two material so if you're right
by your front door and you think man this is way too big I'm doing a doorbell we're just using wow
there's a lot of traffic here guys anyway you're by your front door and you say I don't want to go
buy some rapidset stucco I don't want to buy any other thing just caulking hit it once the next day
or two days later come back and hit it again with the caulking and that will eliminate that and how
many other ways are there to patch these about 20 guys there's about 20 different ways but we got
a lot of people underneath us and we got to get down there and section everything off so we don't
kill anybody including ourselves here's what you guys do Jason's a rock climber and he has his rock
climbing gear he was gonna hook it to the roof and then lap it to me and I thought man what kind of
fun would that be I don't want no gear like that I was like wearing spandex riding a ten-speed
don't need it alright everybody that's the end of that one and you know it's not quite Christmas or
