Good morning folks. Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering. I'm going to show you guys today
is how we do some of these intricate cut-up pillars. I want to do both coats right now,
plus we're going to - this route a job a few years ago, and we had about 40 of these guys right here.
They were not as cut up like this,s but they were close. What one of the fellas was doing
is he was using this small trowel here. So he did most of his pillars with this. He did about two;
I did about ten anyways I went. I was talking with it, I showed up a faster way to do this,
so what I'm going to do is show you guys a faster way to do this now instead of
using a little bitty trial here because it fits right or wing tool because it gets the corners
right here's how I usually do it I'm going to fill this up to full. I'm going to cut back.
I'll show you now that this mud is perfect for this because this pot has been mixed by a pro.
Because it's so hard meeting this mix well with a lot with a little extra spending in this mix,
the lecture cement will give it the consistency of the butter,
and it really is kind of blueish blue like adhesive. It really adheres well.
now what I want to show you guys after I get this done right oh there's a lot of fun it's up I could
I could go like this here and pull up go like this here pull up just pull up right another
way to do it is still much say both ways okay let it just blow up now I'm getting the insides and
then the top you want to pull it up here but now that that's done you say well how are you going
to get that straight out of there well I'll show you how I could I think I'm going to use my finger
I'm going to gallon you my half inch okay pull it straight up there's that side same applies
here use my finger as a template pull up now do it that way the sides are done even okay on the
bottom here of it take it a little bit like that here and that's done that's ready to be floated
so what I'll do is I'm gonna let this set about with the amount of accelerator in here I'll let
this set about half hour now I'm going to come now hard rubber float it then sponge floated I'll show
you guys that last technique when I get to that point all right guys back again in a time that
it took for me to wait for this when I spread the other five now if you spread them out real well
there's less work when you do what I'm about to do say say if it gets real hard the sun's on them
then you can hard rubber float now this guy here makes them kind of trim plum in case you don't
spread them real pretty but if you do spread them pretty like I generally do then you're going to
use a sponge float and now I'm using a brand-new sponge plug because I don't want the edges all
torn up now with a brand-new sponge float and I'll go through two or three of these I had water this
water right here now all I'm going to do is bring the aggregate out this is called floated okay so
I'm gonna flip this whole piece right here and I don't know if any of you folks ever are watching
this or we're going to do this kind of detailed work but when you have all these little corners
there's a lot of wires still sticking out so you don't want to tear this up because this is
very fragile so I know where the wires are and so what I'll do is I'll just I'll usually place
this in here and just go up just like that and tight edges so I have about 30 40 of these on
the truck room so I grab some new ones with the tight edges I can get tight in if I'm just doing
the center of a wall well I wouldn't be using brand new roads anyhow there it is like right
there and what this is is this is the beginning for the - now I'm going to still - these - means
I'm gonna blow on a finish coat and so when I blow on the finish coat it's almost dashed right now I
just barely hit it with the finish and that'll be not a windy day like this I don't want to - too
much because as I hook up the hand hopper um shoot this that stuff goes everywhere rest on windy day
on the car how that works
Living a patron, so I'm not really worried about
the color. All it is is giving it a bit more stand, and that's all I'm doing.
giving it a little bit more fun when it's tainted blender it alone
okay guys and still have about an hour daylight left figured I true the ending of this now
we're - the whole house and what I generally do is it's been drying because and in the Sun
what I get really do is I'll hose it down now see we want to hose it all down just like that
and we're taking it around the corner here to here lose on all the cones on here what a balmy
Ronnie well it's how we tied to belly band in to the chimney work chimney over there we
never tie that in and what you're all done and it starts turning white like that up there you
can get it was waters that actually just make a stronger fella was worried about rain after
the hard one won't hurt one bit actually good for it yeah real happy with the results we've
had about six seven contractors all around the Bay Area or around this area here about Ford's
just coming by saying Matt wanna see how those corners came out those corners came out tightened
it look beautiful they're nice and plumb true in all directions anyhow I just thought I'd
show you the final result here it was a pleasure doing this particular job because it really did
require a lot of skill give us something up how did the unusual to do anyhow my name is Kirk I'm
with Kirk giordano plastering, thank you folks for watching we'll see you guys on the next one
