Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here with Kirk giordano Plastering.
today I want to show you guys is how to fish some paper into a wall that is highly deteriorated and
susceptible to leaking there's a lot of ways to do this guy so first of all let me start by saying
this is the plasters form plasters form calm these guys are in the UK a lot of British Australians
folks emailed me a lot of questions and this is one that all the ken has asked me about four times
I said I'd get to it if I could find the situation well I have a situation here first of all guys it
helps to have two hammers it helps to have cat's paw and here's how I do it all the kin is okay
say for example I'll take I'll take a hammer and just tap a cat's paw in here and so far this is a
30-foot wall I've been inching my way up here guys it's time-consuming and a drag but this is how you
do it say right here where my finger is I have wire that is in the way so I pull this wire up
then I take the hammer and kind of lift the stucco a little bit and stucco falls in back just pull it
out right here I got a furry nail well if right now we'll stop it from going in so we got it yank
that guy out now let me show you what I'll do guys can you tuck in aluminum flashing sure can you do
two ply paper sure what's the best method well there's a lot of methods guys here's what I'll
do okay I've got this cat's paw stuck in there and now it pushes the stucco away from the wall
again and what you want to do is fish a piece in okay that's fished in two inches there's three and
eventually it's gonna hit a nail or staple a piece of slivered wood something once you got your first
piece in like that actually it's not my first but you cut your paper now if this is sticking out
this say foot my next piece has to cover that now what I'll do is I'll put another piece covering
this piece here and I'll I'll slide it in I'll fish it in there and I keep going back and forth
until it hits a nail a staple or whatever they use okay so I hit something I'm not sure what
it is in there more than likely a burning nail then you overlap this bottom piece here you cut
it and you just keep doing that guys and when you see rocks I'll tell you if you're in a hurry guys
this isn't for you you got to use your knife blade you got to get all these little rocks out of here
you fish these little rocks out because if these little rocks are in the way you cannot fish your
paper in for example again here I'm gonna pull my cat's paw out here and stick it about right here
tap it a couple times and that pushes this wall open a little bit and you don't need it much guys
just a little bit to fish it in and near the wire go under it or take your tap that guy in there and
I have a wire in my way I'm using my knife just get it right out of there guys then we do another
piece of paper and is this tedious and boring absolutely guys but is it necessary absolutely
again this is how you do it so all I can when you ask me and you say well the papers brittle the
wires brittle join the club of plastering it's all time-consuming stuff and that's about the best you
can do you slide it in there it's better than say putting up you get your paper open it put
a line of Sikaflex or polyurethane caulking and cover it this goes a little bit further in that
I get is to cover as much as possible start from the bottom you work your way up I got my day cut
out I've been doing this about an hour now got a little bit more to go anyhow guys you guys
in the UK I thought I'd bring that up hopefully that answers a lot of questions my name is Kirk
Jason on the camera and as usual guys we thank you for watching we'll see you on the next one
you
