Hi guys kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, today i'm back on this cold roof
uh we're going to do is i'm going to show you how we bullnose pair
pits with a particular mud now i came here three weeks ago and we did these walls here
and i took my color code over the walls knowing that when i do my parapets i don't want to
have a joint right here you could do it all same day which is preferable or if you're like me
i just happened to utilize jason and jake and we went around these so now i'm back here to do these
i'll give you a little tip uh let's try to spread these out now it's such a cold day and
how cold is it you see all this ice right here that's how cold it is we got ice everywhere
big chunks of ice and if you're walking you're just you're sliding everywhere and last time i
was up here i was carrying a bucket i fell on my ass i hit my tailbone so hard my hair hurt
of course these guys thought it was hilarious him and my daughter i told him i think that's funny
how about i poke my eye out but anyway getting back to this roof i got a piece of carpet here
so i'm not fighting it uh jay even fell last time anyway going around these parapets
what i generally do is the santa barbara smooth mission finish here
i'm going to take it and go around here it's about right to there
i'm going to take this come around right to there and notice i'm leaving a little fat
notice the color too how different it is this particular color it's hacienda now hacienda
It is the same color as this, but stucco always dries lighter, so when it's wet, it's this color
that's why it's maintenance-free. It's like brick maintenance-free when you see a brick get wet.
It darkens 10 shades. Well, color coach stucco does the exact same thing. That's why it's called
maintenance-free finishes. You never have to
redo this parapet. Here is going to probably take me about, oh I'd say a half-hour
now i'm not going to put a whole half-hour video. Still, i'm showing how we could blend
color without a noticeable joint if we come to do it on a different day. Now i'm taking it right to
the edge, and just for the sake of this video and show you exactly what i'm referring to, i
don't need to do the whole wall i just need to do just a little bit right here and take it up here.
The idea is too another thing i see guys do this all the time and occasionally i've been known to
do it when you put your color code on you're putting it on right here at the weep screen
you're not putting it on right here and having a big hunk fall off i see guys do that and every
time i see it it makes makes me cringe every five thousand trowelfolds i might do that but uh you
don't do that you start right at the drip and work your way up and anyway this is just the first coat
we're doing santa barber it is a two coat finish anybody says it's not read the instructions so
what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take this all the way around do my first coat i'm not going to show
all that boring stuff on video then i'm going to put my after i put my first cut i'm going to come
back and double it and put my second coat on that and then when that's done i'm going to take my
green sponge float now this is uh get it wet i'm gonna take my green sponge float
this part's easy the transition is easy but where i'm coming over here when you're looking
up i don't want the transition where it's noticeable so me i'm going to just take it
come right to there and float it right into that joint another thing i can do to to make my life
easier which i probably will is soak this whole thing if i soak it that's the proper way to do
it or i can use this float you soak the existing joint then you take the new joint right in there
no transition but for the sake of water here and slippery i didn't want to show
that anyhow that's that's how to do a parapet calf and as far as a slippery
roof well we cross those bridges when we get to them my name is kirk i'm with kirk giordano
plastering, we thank you folks for watching and as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
