Hello guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordanop plastering today I'm gonna show you is all we plug
up these holes here you might look at that and say man somebody did a nice job with the caulking
and those plugs yeah we did that anyway what I'm doing here you see me mixing up what looks to be
a slurry what this is is Portland cement right here that's just plain old Portland cement can
it be common plastic or the both mix premium absolutely what's this brown stuff here this
is luminite spelled with an MA all right l lu m ni te and what I'm doing is I'm mixing luminite with
my Portland cement okay blue stuff is a bonding agent do I need a bonding agent yeah because I
might texture over this do you have to use weld Cree can you use some of the products from Home
Depot and Lowe's absolutely they got quikrete bonding agents or any of the others okay guys
I'm going to use a swimming pool trout it's not really a swimming pool because it's not completely
round it's got a quarter but if you're going to do this I advise a square trial because the idea
is you're gonna fill each hole and if you have a square wanting to going better see I'm taking
it right out of angle putting it on there taking this filling this guy up now what I do is I take
my trout at a angle here and cut it why because I'll I'll show you that a little bit first let
me show you what I generally do is I'll hit this whole side right here just to prove a point okay
get it cut it Charlotte down now if I try to texture this right now I already know from
thousands and thousands of holes that my texture won't match as well as it would is if I float it
first and then texture okay gonna take this a little bit about here it's already starting to
get hard that's because I put lumini on here I could make it to where this stucco sets in five
minutes or I could make it to where it sets in say half hour I only want ten minutes guys notice I'm
keeping keeping my hawk underneath the patch work the deck I have water on it and if I get a little
bit of this stucco on it it's really not gonna hurt it I got a water hose right next to me in
order to clean up the mouth if I was doing a color coat or something a lot bigger I just cover that
anyhow what happens is okay just to prove a point here again I'm just plugging these holes and I'm
taking my trial sideways now what I'll do is I'll hit this last one here tight area right next to a
power cut nothing we can't handle then I take my float get some of that water out of it because if
I use too much water bucket has water in it and I just pulled this float out of it so I'm hitting
the wall here to get the water out if there's too much water to just dripping I don't want that what
I want is to just plug these up like like say they're not getting a texture pretend like I'm
trying to get a smooth finish here and what I'm doing is I'm pushing it in all the directions
so that the mud stays in the hole and the idea is get it clean get it to the surface get a true and
plumb and then come back with the text and if I put my texture on too soon what will happen is
well it won't blend in as well as it could is if I wait 10 minutes so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
wait ten minutes then I'm gonna come back to the same mud it's just Portland cement guys and I put
luminite in it I'm gonna come back with this same mud and just put a little skip on it to match this
heavy finish can I use an acrylic product yes can I use caulking I can but I've got a lot of
experience with this and I can match this finish but because I already have a cement issus product
fill in the holes I can come back with the cement Isha's product and match this finish here because
it's a heavy finish ok guys 15 minutes later by the way I hit up there that light so get in the
way anyway I'll show you what I'm now and this is just plain old Portland cement by Dan bag
to mix it just with water the lime is already in here guys okay you look at the texture what they
have here that's a very heavy texture so we can get away with just texture in these little spots
that's why I put a lot of glue around each one in case I text you're over it but I want to keep it
within that little hole so what I'll do is I'll look at it okay and I see the way this guy did it
the idea is to give it some texture don't give it a blob don't give it a pancake you might say hey
Kirk out of the thousands of holes you've done in 30 40 50 houses have you ever done it where
you've made mistakes absolutely guys that's how I know what I'm doing today because I've I've had it
done and I've I've tried to do what I explained to you guys a minute ago don't don't try to do it all
at once it won't work when it's painted attaboy somewhat of a giveaway so now that this is on
and and again I didn't leave a pancake here I left the texture there's a difference then we come and
we just tap it down that way it's textured and not a pancake you might think what's a pancake
is if you do this if you put on something that's that's that pancakes texture is where you can see
the different section shut you one more time guys right here the texture is where you skip
it they've got a skip trial finish so I'm skipping mine and you say how do you do that takes practice
you know guys that is how you do a heavy steel trial finish this is called a skip trial or steel
trial heavy finish a lot of different names for heavy lace finish but it's a heavy finish
anyhow guys my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering we thank you for watching and as usual
we'll see you on the next one one last tip guys if you have houses like I've seen where they've
showed me somebody else's work I'll tell the folks gee you know if you you've got two or three
hundred holes and you could see everyone somebody else already did it not us we can color coat the
entire house we put a bonding agent and then we just skim coat it with another maintenance-free
finish that's another way to cover excess holes if somebody else did I mean properly anyhow guys
again as I just said my name is Kirk ,Jason on the camera and we'll see you on the next one
you
