alright guys a lot of you folks call me and say Kirk how come you never show the finished product
because we're gone that's why but anyway we decided to come back here because I wanted
to explain a few things about this particular finish that it's kind of important for us now
this finish here there's three finishes whether or not it's acrylic like this one or cement Tisha's
you have your fine finishes which is 30-30 sand that's like talcum powder that's what this is a
superfine finish I don't usually recommend those to anybody but I've done five houses for this guy
and he's partial to these super fine finishes okay I like the 2030s that's a medium finish
and then there's the 1620 which was the heavy finish when we were doing this one here my son
dad he was spreading J so spread the top my son down spreading the bottom and we did about ten
cement Isha's color coats prior to doing this one and this one even it caught Dan off guard
I thought he went AWOL while we're doing that I'm thinking where's Dan at we don't have time to wait
while we're doing this acrylic finishes this waits for nobody so he's spread him and I said
dude you got to go tighter you take your trowel not so much like this flat but on edge and you
really go tight because this finish here is about thirty times thicker than paint our normal finish
is 50 times thicker and then you have 70 times thicker than paint this is the hardest one to put
on guys whether or not cement tshis or our acrylic even danny was putting it on and he's putting it
on like a cement issue so I had to go over it and pull off a little skin and we crossed that bridge
with him I said hey no worries man you know this is the first time you've done this very very fine
finish anyway I want to show you what it come out like it came out really really beautiful to hold
on and love it so that's that's what's really important I'll also point out to you folks see
everything is painted now it's it's a dark gray when you have any dark colors whether or not the
cement tshis or whether or not they're acrylic it's really difficult to keep it consistent like
a solid paint surface the darker the color the more difficult it is to get a completely Saul
finish but can we do it absolutely we can if this was a two-story wall I'd have a hard time doing a
two-story wall and keeping it consistent where there's no light and various look at these sexy
little I'm not seeing that before man that's a nice looking cover electrical cover anyway I want
to point out one more thing guys the difference in cost between an acrylic finish and a cement
Tisha's finish cement Tisha's finishes are usually we buy the bag say the bags are 94 pounds sacks
and you mix the color cement Isha's color pigment in that that range is about anywhere between 17 to
$25 a bag and you mix the two together in a mixer we usually put eight bags at a time in the mixer
now that finish you get two buckets per bag this particular finish it comes in buckets and how much
does one bucket cost depending on where you go whether or not it's driving Carson's BMI or of any
of those acrylic products and those are the three I just mentioned are three of them top brands no
matter where you go it's going to be anywhere between $60 to 100 bucks a bucket so it's three
times as expensive guys and it's twice as hard for us to apply these finishes take one last look over
here J now this fella he painted everything and it looks just gorgeous it came out really well
but for you folks who say what's the difference in cost and why that's it because the materials
cost three times minimum as much they're much harder to apply and instead of a cement Isha's
finish where we just hose down the wall and come back what we have to do is use a primer now most
contractors don't use primers I do because I stick to the rules on everything because I don't
want to void warranties so we have to prime the wall meeting we got to paint the whole house and
then we apply this hand finish here anyway guys I thought I'd point that out only because we're
working a block away and we're in the neighborhood and the fella who I do a lot of work for here he's
real partial to these paper-thin finishes we can do it no matter what they are but anyway I thought
