Hello folks, kirk and Jason here with Kirk giordano Plastering, today we're going to
color coat this entire house, the front is really cut up but I'll show you that at the very end of
the video but I'm going to show you why we're doing it if you see this gable wall here this
is a nice finish in 20/30 originally done maybe 40 years ago. Color coats started about 1926,
They installed new windows maybe ten years ago, not certain maybe fifteen, but you see this patch
around here this is a pretty obvious eyesore. He don't like it, and right around here, you can
see it is a finish they have, then here's the bad texture around every window. When you paint
it enhances it. Here we got an addition now this particular finish here is completely
different from here, those gun one is done with a 20/30 sand t this is done with a Santa barbara. but what
we're going to do is uniformed out this wall. We're going to put fiber mesh tape over these cracks, I have no idea what they did, or when they did this addition, however, we're going to caulk it
fiber mesh tape I'll go around here to show you a couple little things. Alright this window here
it looks like it was done by somebody else, this is just a float finish. You see this float finish
here. and then this finish. And when you paint it, it enhances any flaws. So, quite a bit of flaws right here it's far from the right match. And every window on the house is similar. here they
just put some styrofoam molds on it and it's a bad now what we've already done is, we pressure
wash the house and this blue stuff, that's that bonding agent, I prefer, it's called, Weld Create."
What we're doing is, we've got another gable wall, here the same applies the windows are
somewhat above bit of an eyesore and the fella said well can you match this house here well of
course I said I think so because we did that ten years ago I said isn't he the fellow who referred
me fella at the end of the street actually referred me but I said yeah we did that one
too so that's the finish we're going to match right there skip chop finish work we're gonna
go ahead and uniform this entire house out that way when they're having a barbecue they look and
nobody is saying hey what happened with all these new windows okay gotta go chase upset
over here all right I'm gonna show you how my bunnies tell the old Fred Smith stop in the Bob
there's a lot of time when you do this you start going to Bob you just keep
generally, you're doing just little tiny bits right here little tiny bits like that take
forever to do it wrong what I'll do is I'll start on the Bob all right well I'm coming down on it
like so I'll go halfway between here and the existing wall that's the proper way to spread
a color coat, start from your feet all the way up come all the way down now we're going with
a heavy float finishes over this skip-trowel finish. you can't spread like some finishes like, Santa
Barbara or 20/30. You can come here and come all the way up about five feet. The heavier the grit,
the less of a spread, you got. So, for example here, I'm going to come on
Also, I'll just show you how I do the tops of these windows too. I'll do it,
but I'll just start here. I'll bring it down a little bit. This way I have something to bring
my joint. Now I'm bottoming up, one last thing. Since the camera won't show this. Still,
we're going over a heavy skip-trowel finish and we're using heavy sand,
so there are holidays everywhere because I don't care how good you are you're not going
to get rid of the holidays, when you're going over and skip trowel, so you have to float everything
so what we do is, we just anything like spreading, all the way up all the way down, over your joints. Up and
down on. This way you get rid of all holidays. And again it doesn't matter how good you
are, you are going to find some holidays, and later
when this drys, then I'm going to go ahead and apply a texture over everything, but the texture
I'm trying to get, is so that when the walls got to dry completely first I put the tension over this
wet. it different finish to what we want to achieve okay guys we're in the hot sun on this gable you
could take a little bit more skill if you're working in a hot sun because I'm getting joint
already. As soon as we applied this you can see it start to dry right here and here's our addition
line can't see it anymore especially when I put a texture on it you're not going to see it floating
and again as I said earlier about going from top to bottom we go from top to bottom and see that
joint rate right there I'm going to feather that in quick because that joint there has sat about
15 minutes now we're not siding to skip-trowel is very forgiving, so I'm just going to do it let's
get this joint out the way, just join us at we're good Oh 16/20. Okay now, let that joint out I'm gonna
take the float. Stand back on this bucket, look that guy, hit right here we always what we want to do
is we want to drag the new into the existing. That way there's no choice allow it to take existing
and pull down and this float is wet then you see a joint line when everything drives you see it flow
the pattern so on what I was saying earlier we want to start from the bottom and with this particular
mud there's as much as I can spread with 100. so you come down on this part on the bottom
Oh mark I'm jumping bottom notice I'm going on with my missing six inches and we come back and
we just keep repeating this cycle oh don't you see me with all right guys we have the scalpel
on the other side Jace read that out in and actually filming me on not even just use a
ladder to wait for this to set and hold up the whole job this particular finish you touch the
wall is drying mess it up I know that wall is gone it's lightening up this is all Fallbrook
and it's lightening up so that one little area right there it's turning white so the
finish that I'm putting on here it's a light lace Spanish calls Cottrell light list but
if you do it just right over a drywall almost looks like a - finish looks like a color draft
and as you do it draw it down what I like to do is they're gonna join bring it into
the window great out for the rundown then real matter because this wall drying if I
were to put this on while the waters wet it would be a completely different test this is
what they want everybody wants a different texture we could do it like soccer girl we
can do whatever tech you're anybody wants it's all pretty easy once you got the sisters out
of it one more time move those ladders for okay good fit on to a bit out of the bucket here and
sometimes we use a board and stand but when I'm on a ladder obviously I can't use the board sir.
okay we're going to get from the top and again the 50 different finishes I could do particular
one matches one right next to us is what we did over there we loaded it and then we gave this
gift off and again was loading it because we originally went over a textured finish
if we're going over a brown coat say they were doing to scratch it around and we liked that set
well then we'd off we're not need to explode it you only need a moment when the walls are impure
and they got texture on we got to float those textures out get rid of the holidays this was a
Brown Coast wouldn't be necessary so I'm going to keep moving over them a drop down all right
guys the sake of explanation generally on starman bond out I'll work my joint into this joint what
you want to do whether or not you're spreading all the base or the texture is don't go over your
finish because on I'll give you an example okay here's my text rings it's all jagged and I want
it that way but my next one is going to come up into it I'm going to stop right where I left off
I'm not going to double texture because what it dries with my double texture you maintain total
secular detective that that's if I put my texture over a big IRT area I already textured that it's
gonna be a different color gonna be a different thickness it's gonna show like a sore thumb in
that joint Roger okay my joints done I already started here now I'm going to start from the
bottom and work my way up to this I'm not going to double texture same applies if you're doing
your base coat now how to fella look back when I was doing it we'd bring it down here and he'd
say don't feather into it go six inches above and I would work for this bonus we had to do
that nonsense the next day this was had two coats and you can see the two coats could be because it
was twice as dark one line and we just kind of looked at him trying to tell you man can't do
that anyhow the same applies with detection take our texture into the new one we're going to go
on the other side where the wall is completely dry and this is going to look like a different
color and I'll show you a little bit more what I'm talking about okay bye see y'all do my last
one over hood this wolf have dry halfway get a better understanding of what I'm talking about
see how I did my texture over here and the body is driving faster and this is Fallbrook the color
what is wet that's what it looks like this is in the Sun so that's drying okay here's where we had
our joint from addition to the existing house now that that joint right there is already feathered
in pretty nice however what is just a hair rage so what I do is I'll take that texture sideways take
a sideways right here that way it's you won't wanna see this blunt breaking I'm just talking
down for the sake of showing you what's going on the texture I've already hit went ahead and
did this top I usually start in the bottom I'll bring it up but because this wall is so much drier
now and this will all blend in the same color this will give you an idea of how to feather it in okay
a lot easier to see what's going on with a wallet a different color; it's a cardinal sin;
what I'm doing here is Bardi's pudding texture on twice now have another joint down here,
and each time I do this, I'll have a joint but I've been doing it so I'm not worried about the
gun anyhow I'm going to go ahead and now start in the bottom and continue my merry way all the way
down here I'll show you completely when we're done because we got to cut upfront and we're going to
take lunch right now so when we're completely done with it we'll show you the final results
get on the camera twenty and a good question better throw that in yeah how come you're putting
it on the drywall did you say always to put it on wet wall that is true when you put it on a drywall
here the mechanical bond you better you got to be on it like I'll show on the drywall yeah okay this
is dry no it's sucking out all the moisture over mountain traveling it down hard I'm Charlie down
hard because we want our mechanical bond the same as if we put it on on a wet surface it's
better also danced isn't cutting all the stuff I learned by failing a lot of people showed me
this when I was Union thirty years ago and you continue learning I learned a lot of this stuff
like my boy paulien says uh Golden Hill Rebbe adversity comes with it the seed of equivalent
benefits meaning yeah I screwed something up and I had to go back and fix it on my own time my own
money then that's how you really learn all these tips I show you guys these are mistakes that I've
made in the past thirty years twenty years ago and even even lately you could still must make
mistakes good tip down mole work take the little boy yeah all the details in have any holiday
Okay guys we're all complete now this is somewhat pretty and impressive but what I
want to show you is is the addition and the bad window patches how they're tied it real well ah
okay he put a styrofoam small gift and what we did on these balls right here we just basically
did a float finish and here is a skip shop because that's what they want all right over
here on this wall up notice or you can't notice you can't notice all the bad patchwork that's
this texture is pretty forgiving very very forgiving but we addressed that issue even
with the first finish can't see it here can't see where that addition starts and ends either
and if you could maybe yelling at me I totally I could get rid of it and lastly we'll just
show you that's not a little bit here although the new windows here and all the windows placed
around here you can't see them and you're not supposed to if you could I wouldn't be doing
my job anyhow folks as usual thank you guys for watching I will see you guys on the next one.
