Hello folks Kirk giordano plastering here, today what I'm going to show you guys is the tools you
need to repair something like this these folks emailed me this and said can you it and I looked
at it on email and I said I think your beyond caulking guys you need actual removal of it and
so what you're going to need is a brush hammer a chisel a little bit of wire trial wire brush
and a little bit of cement now I'm looking at this and we just got here Jay and I could see this is
wiggling so what I'm going to do is just pop this right out that differ wasn't difficult and this is
also separated too so I'm going to pop that one out and I'll just take a chisel pop it right out
and you say what's the wire for just in case let's see here okay that's done get that guy out get it
all out like that now what the wire brush is for stuck a won't adhere to a dusty surface so we
get that clean it up best we can again we want to get all the dust out of here get that dust out of
there okay good thing i saw this ratty broom them too we'll get this dust out of there and now no we
got the dust out of there do i need to wire this nah wire won't do much good so I'm just going to
fill this right back up again we want to get all that dust off of there and what I did was already
mixed a little bit of cement you see in there it's much more than I need for this little bitty thing
and because i want that Samantha set this is luma night and so I'm going to add a little bit of luma
night to this cement mix it up and lumen ID is an accelerator when you put it on portland cement it
accelerates the drying process so rather than wait say Oh two hours for this little thing to
dry this will set it in about ten minute because I put quite a bit of it in here okay now because
I'm right-handed let me see if I can get out of the way of that I'm going to take this throw it
on there let throw it on there and just fill it right back out they had a a little round piece
There we go, you think, wow, that's it absolutely that's it okay we take a sponge flow and then now
just sponge it out. There's not much to this. You just have to have the right tools, guys, and got a
kind of know what you're doing. What I'm doing is giving them exactly what they had, and here we go
Now that's it stuff like this if you put cement in a crack that cement will wreak
rack out it's best to put a polyurethane caulking in there or silicone or something
that won't recap you don't get much simpler than that we're way up in the Oakland Hills
I was thinking mana cost me more time and gas to get here than to do this little bitty thing
but anyway if you're going to do it that's all that's that's necessary if you see around here
we're up on Hills this three-story houses it's moving you're going to get this kind
of settling my name anyhow is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering thank you
for watching this short little fix. As usual, guys, we'll see on the next one.
