hi guys good family here with Kirk Giordano plastering today what I want to do is show
you how to repair this corner we're the corner aid now I've got a few videos where I show how
to do a corner without any corner aid so we won't cross that bridge again anyway if you've seen the
front this corner is about as banged up as a loose screen door on a in a hurricane it's it's jacked
this this corner has seen better days and all I'm doing is to submit we're doing the cement
plastering here we're not doing the paper and wire we don't do it all the time guys so I came
out we're here just getting ready to get started so I was looking at this I thought man we're three
inches here and we're using the same day material so three inches it's good so I'm I had some excess
so I put it here here here and I pulled out the wire because it's not heard out for three inches
so what I'm gonna do now is generally I'll take a piece of corner aid like this and I'll mark it out
and I'll follow the outline I'll come here and I'll follow it and I'll put it in there because
this is you see this this is three and a half inches thick when they stuck with this house
hey they got a little carried away no worries we could handle it okay so what I'll do is I cut
this piece out right here and this piece basically follows the contour so what I'll do is I'll take
a couple nails and get him started wow that just went right in there and again we don't always do
the laughs guys but even if we do sometimes we're for most times really as good as what we have to
work with say for example here I want to bring this out to three inches here so I'm just gonna
put some nails and break bring this corner out now I got a good grip right there and the size
of nails guys it really doesn't matter as long as you go all the way through you got you should get
a you should get a bite if you can if you don't well again we're all as good as what we have to
work with if I tell somebody hey care that whole wall out usually they look at me like are you out
of your and we'll get somebody else to stucco this so we work with what we have say for example like
here now I'm a little pasture that's okay I just cut it off right here because I want to I want to
clean crisp corner as best as I can get it all right that works it's kind of goofy but though
uh I'm working with some goofy stuff here here's what we do guys now notice three inches thick and
we're tight right here what a little pissed which I'm gonna hit boom boom I get in there alright now
I've heard it out a lot thicker what a spurring mean it's this wire they've got it real flat so
what I'll do is I'll take a hammer added some of my excess wiring like this alright what I'll do
now guys this just for the sake of I may not show the actual finish oh man what happens when you
leave mud here for a while make it a little bit more suit softer blob right here what I'm gonna do
it I'm gonna take some of this chip mud for this for this piece right here this mud is good for
dry and fastened adhering what it's a real drag to work with I'll use it to scratch this alright take
this good and put it here I'm gonna go ahead and shoot out this whole corner two more go now watch
this guy alright start from the bottom work my way up cool beans stuff in the bottom I'm gonna pull
into it pull into it by the way guys when you have loose stuff like this I got world creat I just put
on a little bit here so if I go over this painted surface it will adhere otherwise it won't adhere
so now just for the sake of finishing this off I'm gonna allow this well just one spot right here all
I'm gonna show you guys because it's a cold day it's supposed to rain this evening yeah we gotta
hustle so and the rain the rain won't hurt this one bit in fact it's good for it now that I got
this corner done right to there I'm gonna Lao this about 15 minutes and I'm gonna float this this 15
minutes all I need absolutely with this material I am gonna do this side too which is holy a little
bit of a mud here so and by the way guys should you feel this with cement not really you should
hit that with a caulking why because we're using a Portland cement it has very little lime in it
it's got some for movement it's got some common in it for strength is it waterproof pretty much the
more line the less waterproof it's more porous but anyway what I'm gonna come back I'm gonna
caulk this then we're gonna float this little piece out just basically showing you what you
can do with the corner eight if you know how a lot of people say well I couldn't get a corner
on it because it had concrete well concrete or stucco you can get it on there you just follow
what you got to work with guys all right guys I'm just showing you this corner because it's
all about how to do a corner what we do now is I'm matching this finish here I'm just floating
upward just match what they got a little bit of water on a green sponge flow guys can you use a
red one new the red one won't give you the right finishes for brick lane anyhow what we do is we
just follow what we're working with again we're only as good or you guys are only as good as what
you have to work with just like myself I'm only showing this corner so I'm not going to go here
we're scratch that we're working against time here because looking up at these clouds at man
they're looking like it's gonna pour down rain anyhow you see what how this works guys if you
want to put a corner I did the corner about Oh half-hour ago and we're doing so many different
things I just happen to come back to it anyway guys that's how you do it and remember this if
you want these cracks right here to last longer use a caulking with fan otherwise the house is
moving what it's gonna continue moving when it rains it lifts and it's gonna keep moving so you
want something flexible in there if you can get it anyhow my name is Kirk Jason on the camera I hope
