Hello folks, Kirk and Jason are here with Kirk Giordano plastering,
I have the opportunity work with some talented fellows on a deck project anyway what we're going
to show you is how we last this window area right here I'm using a 2x4 for a template to give me my
discrete, and generally, I'm gonna cover this up up so I want to know where my studs are my
studs right here so I marked this temporary floor board, and I marked it up here just to be on the
safe side now generally get all this metal and crap out the way okay what I do I want a double
wrap all my corner so what I'll usually do guys is I'll get my my paper started okay let's get
it started right there corners tight how did we get a tight corner we just push it in like so
give me a tack right here one on here follow the bottom tight here tight there then we just keep
coming around for the sake of showing you guys what I'm talking about right here I'm gonna cut
this paper about right there now what I'll generally do is continue around the corner.
and right here I'm gonna cut this guy out cut this guy on and I can put this like this and
go on the inside but there is a better way to do that guys which I'll show you right now I'm gonna
pop a couple staples down there and J right by your foot kick me that 9 inch flashing okay guys
there's a lot of different peel-and-stick flashes you could use fact there's uh there's about six
or seven that I generally use whatever's on the job that's what I'll generally use
I'm kind of here helping these fellas out more like an advisor anyhow we get this guy here now
we want to we want to put it and then we're in the hot Sun right now guys when you're working
with any of these peeling sticks in the hot Sun it sticks well sticks too who helps sometimes
we're gonna put that there cut this guy out come into this corner real tight here come into this
corner real tight just like that and that gives us our peel and stick for the first one and you
might say what about this guy here and what about that well we use some more of this stuff
Again, if it was damn hot, it's better to use this stuff early morning or when the weather's not so
hot, but I can use it to prove a point. We're going to put this next one we're going to counter
this, and whether or not I go this way that way straight up it all works the idea is we want to
waterproof these seams right in here this is not going to get hardly any rain because it's covered,
but that doesn't mean we don't want to put it the best as possible on it I'll show you this
side where the camera can see a wee bit better house they are going John you handling it like
I tell you I'm working with a bunch of talented guys John's just another one pretty smart guy John
John is still smart he finished his first book last week next week, he's going to read another
one, okay okay yes, you're right; I'm gonna get this corner now, so it's just a matter
of Crisscrossing this stuff and playing with it let's see a lot of ways to do it right here okay
let me see here yeah what I'll do is counter this one and come in here stick it on there
and counter it now we have a seamless guy there and the same thing this is a double window so
they got real fancy here where the stuff is gonna come up here go in then come up then go
in again it's a double inset window all we've seen them before many times so here's the tip guys do
not try to save any materials use your products whether or not it's the peel and stick I'm using
whether or not it's to pot peeling sticks do not try to save money on materials because these are
real important these corners right here especially when you have the inset corners lastly I'm gonna
put one more piece right here of this same peel and stick then I'm gonna do the wire and lastly
I'm gonna do the corners in if you look up you say man nothing's pretty cut up for just a a
simple what is this thing anyway it's for looks it's really the windows not going in here it's
just a simple well we could call this j-just a simple window detail there we have it right here
this is not gonna leak no matter what we do I can penetrate it with nails the big gun it is
not gonna leak we're gonna take this all the way up and once I get that down I'll show you how we
wire it and how we corner it alright guys now that we have this membrane every which way on this sill
possible so it cannot leak what I did is what you can't see I took this paper went around here then
I took another piece of paper and I took it and I overlapped this piece went around the whole
top here and this for the first one I used it came around here so the next one comes around it again
so we have a couple different Pettit sealers on here let me show you something guys this is hot
right now and what happens if you stick this stuff to itself I'll just give you an idea okay if you
stick it to itself like that it doesn't come apart you can't pull it apart and right now it's about
85 if it gets up to a hundred just throw it away why would I waste this to prove a point right now
they I'm kind of consultative a lot of guys here on how to do things of course they can just watch
our videos and see how to do it but anyway try not to touch the self to itself otherwise you're gonna
throw that piece away what I'm going to do now is do I need to put a membrane here a peel and
stick no the fill is what's really important this seal both sides gets the membrane because when I
put a staple through this it's got to be sealed otherwise the water will sit on that stucco and
go straight through so the cells are what the main thing is in the joints here now I'm going
to continue paper and all the way around this as I normally do alright guys we're getting ready
to put on this struct a wire a lot of different types of mesh this is struck the lath good stuff
doesn't matter which way you go and it has a deep fur if you look at it this way it real deep fur I
like using this Jay will point it out he said dad maybe you ought to tell them about that
membrane a membrane should always go on the wood if if I papered this and then put the membrane
on the paper that defeats the whole purpose and do you got to do the tops here in the corners
not necessarily but this failed once and if they ever tear it apart for some reason I want him to
sit down who the heck laughs this they've gotten they went overboard but that's the way we do think
so we're gonna go ahead and hang this struck the laughs last thing we'll show you is the corners
Jay and I'll put those on for you okay guys I'm putting up this struct allah-allah and you know
after 30 plus years you would think Kirk knows everything there is to know about paper and wire
well I don't but I just discovered something generally I don't bend my corners like I did
here with the other wire because it's Hevy by the time you bend it you've got to use a hammer or a
gun and really pound it to make your corner which a lot of times breaks the paper seal this stuff
however and I've only used it on some let's see I've used this before on patchwork in fact on the
same project so what I just found out is that with this particular wire and it struck two laughs and
I've heard Tommy tell me at Westside building and say hey Kirk you know you have a child that it's
pretty good stuff people are renting and raving about it by the way I'm using my hammer attacker
because if I use my big gun right down here compress oh come on and drown me out but anyway
I just found out that you can make your corners quite easy with this stuff without puncturing the
paper so I'm just pushing this in gently you push it in gently and it's funny every corner
I've done thus far has lined up perfectly meaning you go here now you you just tack them in there I
don't have to with the other wire you really have to push it in hardware it actually compromises
the integrity of the paper okay I got my inner corner now watch the outer corner and guys I'm
just finding this out for the first time because awkard doesn't know everything about every product
in fact I use the products that work and they have treated me well for thirty years so I kind of like
this product in fact I think I'm gonna start using it more often after I use the 20 rolls that I have
in my garage of the other stuff but I'm impressed anytime I can just use my hand and come around
that impresses the hell out of me guys so and my new upcoming videos after I use my other twenty
rolls up we use a lot of this structure struck the laughs anyway thought I'd show a quick tip Jamie
are gonna start here Jay's gonna start cutting all the corner as soon as he got all those corners cut
out we're gonna attach those and I expect them to go on well even though we've gone around here
because I can see they're all true and tight all right guys how we put these corners on there's a
quick tip this is a corner aid now what we do is we'll generally notch it out to a point and
we notch it out to the point like that it doesn't bind when they combine together so I'll show you
now another technique now all these corners got to align there's not that big of a deal once you've
done a few thousand of them what I'm doing is I'm putting them here it's got to come out 7h
here and here I can look at it and pretty much know what 7/8 is because I've been doing this
forever you put it you put your bottom on you put your sides on and again because we cut them at a
specific angle right here they're kind of easy to do what we do is look at it give it about that 7/8
what we want pop a couple staples on and can you use nails guys absolutely when I was Union they
didn't like us using staples for corn but those days are gone here I just put them on say now
for example these corners here which are over here we're going to place these guys on it and jig any
already cut these guys out for me so they're pre lined were where I want them and I'm looking at
it I can see bring it out about seven eight I'll show you a good example and then this corner got
to meet these two corners there there now that meets that corner and what we want when we put
the other corners here see this corner here it's got a come true and plumb like so say for example
this is gonna meet this one here and it's gonna meet this corner I'm gonna go ahead and finish
all these corners and where we are done with this entire process which is going to be another Oh 20
minutes we'll show you well walk around this whole little decorative wall and show you what it looks
like okay guys we are all finished up with this node all the corners line up all these corners
inner and outer expansion joint lines up this corner lines up too with this corner here's a
tip guy both of these corner aides here there's a half inch between it here there's a half inch
here half inch here the cardshark to stop by and says is everything perfect all the corners
I said temporarily said what do you mean I said well you see that door right there that
elevator come this weekend when they bring kegs up and they're hitting these they're gonna be
crooked afterwards he says you know what I like about you Kirk and I said no you walked away and
said me neither but I just trying to be honest man these are gonna get bent up traffic people
gonna hit them they're gonna mess with them so any time you guys do some detailed corner work
such as this make sure you get a coat of mud on it quick I don't know when we're coming back to
do mud could be a week could be two I just here for consultation so anyway the guys that's how
to do corners that's how to do struck the light that's how to or struck the laughs
and struck the lights interior plaster struck the laughs that's how to do a lot of different
techniques, Jason and I thank you for watching and as usual guys, we'll see you at the next one.
