Good morning, this is Kirk with kirk giordano plastering,
today I'm going to show you guys is how we're going to apply the scratching brown on this
we're going to use a rapid step which means you can do two coats in a day on the rapidset video
on youtube the guy is showing six inches is pump coat coat after coat after coat why anybody needs
to go six inches I don't know but we're going to go about 7/8 of an inch here what I'm going
to also explain is this black went into the lab the homeowners did the lab but here are a couple
things they like right here he took a grinder and he grinded all this edge off do you need to
do that no you do not need to do that because our key will be inside here keys in there so I've had
folks do this with a grinder and if you do that of course then we have got to put weld cream the
weld cream here is a bonding agent the bonding agent again this was all grinded down somebody
took a lot of time and effort to do this so we're putting well creep over that so when we
put our scratching Brown over here it'll tie in here without cracking it's similar to this key
in the window right here we got a key right here which means the stucco goes in this less likely to
want to point out they used of it this water here this is generally used for studies you stretch it
it's paperback what what we generally do is I'll put two layers of paper over the plywood so I
assume he put one layer under here and then he put this layer now maybe just Mandy he had this
wire right here in the back of his truck and you can use it it's just a lot of extra work
to use this because it's made for stubs and he also used very nails which wire today is Salford
don't need her emails but anyway he just went a little bit above where necessary that's always
good the last thing I want to point out before we move the scratching valve at this point I'll
notice this point of real straight corners they have there can you see that J of Barry
we're there they're pretty weighty and so ours is completely straight so what I do might scratch
around I'm going to put some extra cement and give this the way of to I put this corner on just now
when I got there because if I did this corner here without these a corner aid it's less likely
to crack so anyway you're all caught the windows would the sill is caught throw well you're about
to begin here and as soon as we're done mixing some cement I'll show you how we do the scratching
Brown okay guys we are doing the stretch coat and usually what you want to do is we need to a
stretch but let's start from the top you work your way down and pretty simple are these in rapid set
I'm gonna be certified to use this product it's kind of like using picks off you don't know what
you're doing put a set too fast there's about 20 different products now that you can use we do the
stretch in brown in a day this is one of them okay guys we are done with a second coat now what we're
doing is we're putting indentation to I'll use a straight edge or Garbi I'll have a perfectly
straight wall they have a lot of indentations so we're just using our trial now or just make it
just like that you want the indentation we don't want a perfect finish and in a second I'm going to
grab the float which here we're going to go upward do that put a long building every different trick
this way side way just go one directions not the Mac I am using coming pushing it in here
and they're both way both ways lotta ways every every which way and then because this is painted
so many times after I'm done with the float I'm actually going to hit it with a hard rubber float
to get rid of some of the grains because this is what they had but if you paint this as opposed to
already 10 coats not going to match real tight I'm going to try to get it just as tight okay folks we
are all set with this a couple tips at the end the longer you let this set the more times you go over
it with a sponge float you'll get the grit out so we've let it set quite a while and you just hit it
lightly and each time you get all the water out of here you get the grit out so when they paint
this that will match a little closer to that this square here contractor cut me a template I
just went ahead and pushed it in because like over here you go to place they're going to play time so
anyway, this is all set. My name is Kirk. I'm with kirk giordano plastering, my son Jason helped
me do this and of course, doing the video thank you for watching, we'll see you guys at the next one.
