hi folks Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering my son Jason on the camera as usual I'm going to
do is we're going to do some bloom Dale windows exterior working for my buddy lay right here and
his handy dandy right hand woman we're Moisture work Lee obviously Oakland Piedmont Kensington
Berkeley North Berkeley attorney licensed licensed general contractor we've done about ten fifteen
just different jobs for him and just thought I'd show you some of the stuff he does what's
important is he installed these bloom Bloomberg Bloomberg windows is out of Sacramento Bloomberg
windows out of Sacramento thanks man oh let me show you what we did here guys now excuse the
mixer it's bit noisy I'll show you the okay he installed it and he called me to say Kirk they
want some kind of peel and stick on the plant these are aluminum flange Bloomberg windows so
aluminum flange what he did is he put his paper installed it and then he wanted to counter the
flange and he said it gave me a peel and stick that he wanted done now I end up using this
typing this type ik for my personal choice why because it's environmentally friendly and what
we've done is we've gone on top of his flange because he already had one under we took it on
the sides here all the way up and covered the plans that we took two layers of paper put it
over that and we cocked it why do I like to use this rather than the peeling sticks one of the
ones he recommended because the one you recommend is asphalt base we're on a job about a year ago I
remember Jason said dad and I thought we're on a roof and we're applying the peeling stick and
I thought oh man I dropped it I thought what he says you're not supposed to put that [ __ ] in
your mouth I had it in my mouth and then went one on each hand he says read the label it's
toxic you're not supposed to touch it with your fingers let alone in your hand so I thought I had
a spider on me when he screamed at me like that anyhow since then we've been trying to go with
a few more that are more invent environmentally friendly and another reason to guys is I'll use
this straight flash and even Lee on the window round here he used the Flex wrap for the for
the seals but I like using this because it's compatible with all of the flash the caulking now
your folks might watch some of my videos I use a lot of the polyurethane caulking now polyurethane
caulking in a certain asphalt product that'll mix so I would have to put a different type of
caulking and I'm real partial to my Sikaflex caulking that stuff is I've been using it for
20 years never have any problems it's it adheres it seals it does everything so I told him with you
know what I'm going to go ahead and just use this and for you folks that ever want to use this you
just peel it and it sticks this is specifically not designed for stucco and two layers of paper
but I won't get into that detail so what we did here is they had a piece of wood right here so
we nailed on their flange then we had to nail on the concrete which was pin in the black we had to
put the drip screed in the concrete then I had to concrete nails to put this in order for this
bottom to be true and plumb okay guys back again I had to get up and find my book because I want to
give you mark Mark's dara'a phone number he is their senior certified technical specialist he
knows so much about this stuff he he says Kirk its butyl base with that's the same stuff that goes in
the car windshield environmentally friendly so I personally like using this now marks number if
you have any questions about any of these dupont products just an applicator i call mark myself
sometimes he tells me hey Kirk can you do it this way in that way marks TOEFL number is area code
nine two five four three seven nine nine three three I don't know much about the engineering
aspect of all these products but I do know this to pot I had a friend of mine who I see on the jobs
occasionally and he had cockroaches and we always always tease him I said how's those cockroaches
going and of course being a man I suggested you know if it were me I'd put some bait traps and he
said man I tried bait traps they used those for condominiums they're in it it doesn't kill him
and I saw about three months ago we were working on a job and I says hey how's that condo building
going and he says you know Kirk I found a product online and you put it out once they go in it they
eat it and they die all over your floor and it just took one time after two years and and I
said wow that's a great product and he said it was a DuPont product and so last night before coming
here I told my wife I said sweetie do me a favor go online and see if the pot sells this product to
kill bugs it's cockroaches and sure enough it's the same company I was thinking man out of buy
stock in that but my wife told me you've got to worry about paying rent and forget about stocks
anyhow guys I just wanted to show you this dupont flashing I thought I'd share that funny story with
you guys my name is Kirk Jason on the camera and as usual guys we'll see on the next one.
