howdy, folks kirk and Jason here with kirk giordano plastering. today I want to show you how to blend
this in the transition a little bit tighter this is pretty tight but he doesn't like the fact that
it's sandy and this isn't sandy this was sandy but they've trowled it after they put the finish
on and then they've got about 10 or 15 coats of paint maybe 20 it's an 80 year old house this is
part of another video i did i'll put both in the description so you can get a better understanding
of what I'm talking about okay first of all if you're going to go over something like sand
you've got to buy a material that has no sand or like talcum powder smooth sand i mean it's got to
be it can't have this grit and what i'm doing is i'm putting acrylic over see this big crack well
it's not so big it's just a hairline crack they're normal guys the material i'm about to spread out
over this is an acrylic which means it sticks to everything here's about the biggest tip i can show
you guys if you're going to apply an acrylic wet everything why wet everything there's one
drop from this acrylic and guess what you can't get it up because it's an acrylic it sticks to
everything i'll show you something guys just just a quick tip and i'll explain the material okay
transition it shows he says man i don't like that transition i thought that's pretty good transition
anyway here's what we do now this again this this material is an acrylic and for your knowledge guys
it's called image image why it's got a french name i don't know so image
that's what you do okay now because because it has so little fine fine silica sand in here
you can go ahead and get the transition so well where even that silica sand or this this is uh a
30 30 that's santa barbara it's a 30 30 then they make 20 30 which is medium so here's
what do you do guys if you have a situation like this and you're unhappy with it you go to your
nearest material yard say west side um cowply uh sacramento stucco and you say give me a bucket of
image that's not such a tough name try kirk yeah that's even tougher anyhow this is just a quick
tip guys because he thought it was a big deal i said man i'll tell you what because
i'm doing some other stuff for you i'll fix that at no charge because i'm already here
so this is how you do it guys the transition give a little bit more okay now if i left this
too smooth you can see this has bombs craters so I'm gonna just close my eyes and go over this
okay i'm gonna look you just go over it and give it a little bit of you know get rid of the sand
that's the idea get rid of the sand grit but on the sides here now you want to put your blade
half here and half here that gets rid of the transition guys the transition and when this dries
it won't crack either anyway i'm going to take just that little piece there who wants to watch me
find the ladder and do that and talk about a whole bunch of useless stuff that don't amount to
nothing nobody does anyway my name is kirk and Jason is on the camera, we thank you guys for watching
