Hi, guys. Kirk is again here with Kirk Giordano plastering. today what I'm going to show you
guys is another way to waterproof existing windows when they're ancient this house is about a hundred
years old it tore all the stuff off and had to replace all the wood it was well it's seen better
days anyhow I've shown folks this before on on sills that are a hundred years old what I did is
I brought my paper up here what pass will still cut in here and then what you see is underneath
here now you could put a bead of silicone caulking up here or not so we'll come polyurethane there's
another way to do it which because this house is still beat up this is the way I said I would
do it so I'm doing it that way I'm taking some peel-and-stick and there's 20 different feelings
to college guys I'm gonna like this particular one okay so I'm going to stick it here and here's a
tip now what I want to do is I want to follow this windowsill and if I follow the windowsill say like
just get a little bit stuck here it's kind of a drag because it's like a 40 in this stuff what
i'm doing here is i'm going to underneath it then then i'll get the corner and tight with my fingers
get a real tight here guys then all this excess is going underneath the windowsill and what that does
is rather than have just the caulking here i don't know the under here the whole seal is protected
that's gonna be covered with stucco anyhow one area here where it come past we just pull it back
and when we come to our corners you stay there dad we what we do is do like so and what I'll do
here is I will cut this piece come here then how I counter this is I've got a roll of this Jai flash
right here what I will do is here's how I get these corners here generally I asked homeowners
or contractor you cut this with a sawzall that way I can put one piece straight in here go between it
but we don't always have that luxury so now that I've gotten that piece in this particular straight
flash is made for a stucco system at high dick with two layers of paper but it'll work here what
I'm doing here now is I'm going with my overlap again and I'm gonna cut this edge out here cut
this edge out on the bottom and stick it and then cut that off because stucco will cover that little
piece here now with Windows this beat-up guys this is the way I like to do it and because we have an
area point because we have this area right here that got somewhat of a gap in it we don't like it
I got two layers of this thick paper over it and then I'm gonna put two more from here over there
but just say for example on this side now another way when the wood somewhat beat up or the houses
old as the hills like this guy here we don't want to take chances it what I'm doing here is I'm I'm
putting this peeling stick inside and before I even did this I took a wire brush and I took a
wire brush and I cleaned the groove out because this groove was filled with stucco and dust and
dirt this stuff won't in here to stucco dirt or dust or any of that crap so we took the wire brush
and clean that out and okay so now what I'll do is I'll take my knife and close it and just go
over this so I could get a real good tight seal I want that tight just like so and here I want
this tight too and once I got my corner tight I'll take my knife do like so any let's just stick it
anywhere what what I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna take two layers here go over it I actually went
I'm gonna do here is take now what I'll do is the exact same system I did this I'll take my
straight flash go on the side here and then put it in this groove and squeeze it in there tight
that's another way to do it guys a lot of times you'll see me I'll take paper and I'll put it in
this groove and caulk this with the polyurethane caulking but this is a better way to do it and
you don't always have to do this we just happen to have a house here that is severely beat up I
want to make certain that it doesn't come back on us anyhow way shape or form so our stumble
here is gonna be bulldozed it's gonna be rounded off like the rest of this house but anyway guys
that's uh that's another way to do windows because a lot of you folks email me and say
guys or Kirk the windows when I taught all the stucco off there is no flash and of course not
guys that's new windows when you rebuild a house you'll put the new windows on and you don't have
a flange but we don't have that luxury here this is one way to do it guys the paper in the groove
with the polyurethane is another way this is the best way to do it doing whatever type of
flashing you choose well that's your business they make about 20 different peeling sticks I'm
just kind of fond of the DuPont stuff anyway guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering,
we thank you for watching as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
