Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, last week and I said Jason Giordano's doing the
video today we're doing another window I've been doing windows for 25 years maybe the best bar
but I would like to show you folks how to do them right this one is kind of odd because we
have what looks like a sheetrock material here it's very fragile so when you have this fragile
sheetrock type stuff I recommend you use what we use we use the Bulldog the Bosch Bulldog and it
hitches gently if you use a hammer and strength like say you just tap it here it pushes the
stucco into this very soft wood so use pneumatic tools and as you see we were able to salvage some
paper we need paper in order to put our new paper over this existing paper and come underneath this
membrane and then they used an older wire here it's not Salford but we're going to use a cell fir
and transfer right over this wire and of course after we after we get our new paper underneath
their grace membrane we're going to peel this and stick it to ours that way when the inspector
comes so you can see that we are underneath this piece here you don't want to go on top like this
because sometimes windows can leak I've seen him leak before so our new papers have done to
the existing paper and two layers of paper goes over this and of course we broke out well enough
so that you we can get a good tie it here on the horizontal we did the best we could with what we
have there is our mess from the breakout I do a lot of work for a lot of contractors and I tell
folks you guys can break it out you can laugh it I'll just come do the stucco work doesn't matter
to me or we can do it all so a lot of contractors will do their own breakout and their own lat and
then we'll just come in and do this coach's stucco so you'll see when we get to that stage all right
guys two layers of paper are on it our paper is covering the existing paper I just pulled off you
stick here it doesn't always have to be a peeling stick by the way regular craft paper fiber and has
the fibers in it is fine it's it's permitted on these guys I always tell folks use the membranes
because they're a lot better so we are done with our paper underneath here by the way we know
there's a stud right here otherwise you wouldn't be able to faster the window on it I've marked
with a pencil then a yellow mark here where our studs are because when I wire this I want to be in
this I want to staple our new wire into the studs every six inches we place a stable then we tie
this together otherwise you get perimeter cracks so again they're wire is not a self fir but that's
okay because we're going to put a Salford wire on this and yes it does matter which way you put the
wire okay guys we are done with the lab here I just got to put some caulking on the side here
he doesn't need it under here because our grease membrane is under this frame when the studs are
here I marked them you put staples on the studs every six inches sometimes I come to jobs where
other guys have done the wire and they got it so tight that I got no key so you want to allow a key
you don't want to over staple it you want to be able to grab it you see how that comes out there
sound like Dobies if you're doing concrete you put your rebar and then you put Dobies under the
rebar that way the cement is below it and above it and the wires between it you don't want the wire
flat on the ground or the rebar for concrete nor do you want this completely flat itself further
to pull it away but if you just over staple the mess out of it then you're going to lose that
there we got a little bit of okay a little bit of Kent want the stucco goes underneath here that's
another tip for those who do it themselves and they call me to do the stucco work when they do
their on laughs another thing to it you want to get all this loose stucco and all this debris
out of here because that can lead to a hairline crack so we just clean it out with anything you
can use water hose you can use a brush now you want to get all this dust off it just like that
around it and hopefully I covered all the bases for you guys if you're going to do your own wire
you'll see us soon enough when we come back to do the scratching Brown see you then okay guys go to
scratch coat grunt coat I'm actually using premium cement and I'm putting a product called luminite
in it the lumen I'd actually accelerates the drying time I'm doing this right now it's already
drying and so what I do is take it off the board I always do my tops first and the edges because
let's take the long left to dry and we want to set we want to set quickly around those edges because
that just have a tendency to fall off so that's it for the scratch coat up here and now with
founded on see this is the out fascist which material set it up move it I in it luminize
sent really quick so the first code I flipped quite a bit of this is going to be seven about
ten minutes and I can judge the amount of time I yawn or do the Micra set it I can make it set
twenty minutes ten minutes five minutes and so on I actually wanted this assess quick because
do my second so I have just enough material finish here this is called the scratch and
when you do I got your brown with luminite no necessarily have to put the scratch marks
in it we were going to say scratch this and leave today I'd scratch it but I wouldn't use iluminage
I'd scratch it all then we come back but because we're doing this all in one shot I'm going to go
ahead and place the next coat that's gonna set I'm going to float in then I'm going to mix up
a color coat material for this particular texture right here will sit there alright guys now what
I'm going to do is I've got that second coat I got the accelerators in it so it's getting hard
pretty fast now I'm gonna use a straight edge or a Darby now I'm going to make the Waltrip Club
remove mud around and the doggy here it's a tall
trip sucks I put it on that way I have something to work with
when I get ready done loaded,
it's already a straight surface just fall straight, then I'll do my
utmost Patrick you have a straight wall you should use this again this does take kind of
years to learn how to use hopefully any of you guys who are doing it yourself or doing a pug
finish which walls can be wavy already then you take this green sponge float like this guy the
water on it I'm going to use a hard rubber float because this is setting up now rubber
float actually about 15 minutes this walls gonna be hard as rocks and then I use a little bit of
skill we true it out plumb then I come back the final thing put a little texture on you'll see
that last part when we get to it all right guys this is almost the final stage before the texture
this is a hard rubber float this is fun float now Darby did got it written plumb in all directions
now we use the hard rubber float which means kind of go like so and we take it put it on this thing
stuttering in this joint the key to a real good patches but feather that joint in so you don't
see that joint so that's what I'm doing right here I'm feathering in the point I've already
got along the side I've gone up see windows I've gone on top of the windows elbow grease covered
in tight we do the whole wall here too rather this endless Lotus hard rubber floating and you
compact it so it makes a shrimp Club kind of like if you're snowboarding you lift this up if I go
flat here I'll dig into the wall but you don't see this part I'm lifting this up at an edge and I'm
lifting this and I'm not using my toe or the heel I'm using the whole flat surface you can't see me
lift in it but that's what I'm doing take the flap otherwise it'll feel like this okay then right
there we don't want to do that last thing then tie it in even tighter is get a little bit of water on
the sponge look this is the final thing before I show you the texture we just come right here and
that actually gets it as tight as possible as far as this joint and the joint is what makes
a good patch determines the level of skill on the person who's doing that patch that's about it hi
did you yeah I'm gonna go around do the whole perimeter and lastly I'm gonna take this trough
that before I do my textured because that's what they have here to have on a smooth finish before
the texture so I don't want my finish prior to the texture be it rough so I know it's a lot for
everybody to take in especially anyone who hasn't done this before what's up the stage did you have
to go to if you want to do a patch okay guys do any texture nap and I'm looking at the way this
fella placed his texture on he's right-handed obviously because he's going this way I can do
that so what we're gonna do is we're gonna just texture like this I stagger my texture I might
start here and then the next one I'll start here and go up next one down here and then go up yeah
that's like yeah I'll take one a little diagonally then I'll go back to horizontal over here that way
it's you can't tell the subscapular then this guy we're gonna come down and use it up on the Habra
color code in order to match this texture because originally that's what they used but then I was
put on this set knocking down like you may notice I didn't cover this window well I don't have been
doing this this is plastic or the polyurethane frame so if I got stuck go on here which I did
you're going to get some stuff on it you can wipe it right off the old like it frames anodized one's
kind of like redwood where you get stuck up on redwood sucks right and you got a black spot
where you have to stand the crap out of it to get it out the anodized frames I never see him anymore
I haven't seen him in 15 years we don't really worry about getting any on there of course I'm
doing window under window how much is cover them all cuz it's faster for me so there you have it
this is Kurt with Richard on the flapping thanks again Jay for doing the video we'll see you on
the next one thanks for watching well back again guys a little premature ending here's here's what
I'd like to explain to folks to everybody calls me anything where the heck are you getting all those
tools westside building materials they're located in hopefully formerly known as out to building
supplies you can buy all these tools from floats hard rubber floats, trowels, Hawk all the cement
and everything the other freedoms who call me all the time and with email mean estate Kirk
where you getting all the tools Westside buildings materials where again thanks and we'll see our next one.
