Hello there folks. Kirk and family are here with Kirk Giordano plastering today. I'm going
to show you how to do this real quick real. Madeleine is going to help Madeleine scoop
me some mud to watch this guy. We're going to put this thing back together quickly. Alright,
what this is is its imitation block is made out of stucco
that it'd give me a little bit more all right beautiful I'll show you a couple tips guys we
actually did something else but we're in a real tight quarter and I'm not sure how well that's
going to come out so I thought well gee whiz this one's out in the open and you can really see what
we're doing how to get these imitation lines what we do is we take a Darby we wet it and we create
the lines okay I'm going to follow this line here so I'm going to create it come up come on
down push it come down same here I'm following the bottom one go up and then I'm going to come
down oh just like that last one is the line down here up then down now what we do is we float it
and let's see up I'll take this float over here clean it out get some water on it and I'm going
to use this brick right here to get some of the excess water out then we're going to wash this
off so now what we do is we get our edges feather the edge in rather this edge in here this guy here
same here feather it in and the transitions to these right here either make or break a job if
you can't feather in or don't know how well that's just going to make for a bad patch now what I'm
doing is taking this float and getting all of the stucco off it because as I float it it gathers
stucco so it just pulls it off that's one done here I'm keeping this float on edge or actually
flat and any on here deal cleaning the float again get my edge just like so now I'll get the groove
so I'm going to get the groove there here and get a sharp corner here I'm going to pull upward get
a sharp corner now I'm going to clean out this float again because if I leave all this stuff all
the mud on it it won't give me sharp edges take some of the water out now I'm going to follow
this horizontal line I'm going to start right here just one Bend okay I'm going to start right here
go all the way across and notice how it leaves a Ridge upper and lower now let me make sure this
is straight I'm going to do the same thing I'm going to take it and follow that groove now it
leaves that vertical line so I take the vertical line here and I lay it flat guys flat just like
so and we go into the existing stucco we come down here because this has got this lip we come
down if you see any areas that need it go back up here I'm going to hit it one more time this
float is not really straight its jacking me up a little bit but nothing ogre can handle we take it
here pull it all the way guys and notice if you got peeling paint just peel it off all right so
we're back to it taking the joint that I've just created because I pushed hard and I'm coming down
coming down here or either I pull up now guys what's wrong with that picture does that match
pretty good I say it does but there's something missing can you guys see it who's watching this
video anybody watching this what's wrong with this picture now I'm giving you a minute while I
clean up my own mess figure it out anybody sharp would say dude that's pretty obvious you don't
have a vertical one okay let's get a vertical one a vertical expansion joint otherwise it's
not going to look right all right where am I see this vertical this vertical so this one should
have a vertical let's see if I was to eyeball it I go about right there and what I want to do is
go down to the scratch coat there and I want to go about right to here so all I'm doing basically
guys is lining this up here and this one here the outer edge and trying to get in hard enough now
we take our trial and we just pull that off and it'll pull off right where I scored it I scored
it right there boom it drops right down and to clean it up a little bit I can take a square
trial that actually fits it and there I am I'm at the scratch coat now so that's fine too all
right last thing I'm going to do guys clean this trowel once more get all the water out fix what
I screwed up right here now take a float and go in here and go up to it meet it that way we
have all of the expansion joints or block lines where they need to be how they did the pyramids
I'm kidding okay now just touch up a little few things and if you make a mess on the wall clean
it up that's a quick patch for any of you guys who call me or say Kirk I got a wall that looks
like the pyramids with those bricks how do you repair it well you repair it like that there's
a whole bunch of tools you can use besides the ones I'm showing here this is just what I happen
to have on the truck and we can make it appear well right here one last thing camera will show
this but it's sunken in right there so we take a little bit of mud and fill that little gap up you
always look at your finished product and if you see something fix it anyway guys my name is Kirk
