howdy folks Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today I want to say Happy Holidays
everybody and have a Merry Christmas, I'm gonna explain how to do a simple patch right here I've
done it before but I figured this is a good way to say Happy Holidays to everybody we've been
watching us we've been doing this for nine years and about 70 subscribers 70 thousand subscribers
so thank you guys this you can see there's a whole bunch of car garages somebody backed out of the
garage here and hit it how many of you guys have done that everybody does that and because this
guy seen me use this a few times you get this at Lowe's or Home Depot it's just rapidset stucco
rapidset stucco is something you could put on and paint within say two hours and he said well Kirk
can you use that stuff from Home Depot or Lowe's or that you actually can paint in a couple hours
and I thought why I got another another type of stucco aizen wall which is from rapidset and that
we just add our own sand this stuff you just buy it no sand you just add water and it's ready to
put on and the reason I'm putting this on with on the board with one hand instead of just dropping
that whole bucket is because I jacked up my knee and it hurts but let's see I might be able to do
this half bucket okay Oh answer a few questions now this this particular mud here is pretty sticky
the eyes of all I use is not sticky but it made by the same company it's just you can't buy eyes
and wall from Home Depot or Lowe's you got to go to the material yard and it's so sticky you
can't even get it off here but here's a question a lot of you guys say hey Kirk I take it off of
the board and it keeps falling off of the Hocking trial how do I get it to stay on the hakka child
let alone put it on the wall guys do what I do when you first get this mud mix and again this
is real sticky mud cuz it's a psychopath put it on your Hawk take it off drop it down get the feel
of it guys this is answering uh something that a fella asked me the other day he calls seeker
come on is there something you're not telling us no guys just do this about a hundred times
and if this was say Portland cement or isin wall it wouldn't be so sticky it would just
that wouldn't stay on here would just come off but that's what you do about 20 times guys put it on
your Hawk take it off drop it and get the feel for it or you just play with it guys play with
it like that and before you start trying to put it on the wall play with the guys and you'll get
the hang of it anyway now that that's done I'm gonna show you what we're doing here okay with
two ply paper we use fur nails cuz I didn't want to break out my staple gun for this little bitty
patch real important guys caulk your edges and I use a stick of lexa a1a it's a polyurethane it's
an adhesive sealant because it's the best okay now this mud is getting it's hardening already
I got about five minutes to put this on now what I'm doing is putting on the bulk because I still
have some mud in that bucket ludis a sticky mud it's much thicker than what I'm used to but the
guy says he wants to paint it tomorrow I said why you gonna use this tree for the decorate like in
a Charlie Brown special where they decorated a little bitty tree but anyhow I give the folks what
they want if they want to paint it tomorrow they can paint it tomorrow because you see on this box
it says prime and paint in two hours well that's true that's the only sucker that I'm aware of
that you can do in two hours or usually you gotta wait 20 eight days guys so I'm just gonna finish
using this right here okay guys we had a little issue there so we got a handle that's going in
in a blooper video that Jay wants to do anyway here's where we're at okay now the cement here
is hard you can't touch it you can't put a dent in it and it's got about 35 psi strength 3,500
that means it's as strong as the concrete anyway this texture here this is done with a finish coat
of material so I've got lime right here and this lime is got fine sand because with the
base coat I was using that's got a real heavy sand so I can't match this texture right here
that's superfine and because I had a bit of an issue there I'll show you again guys that that
one fellow who called me and says gee whiz how do you keep it on the hawk now this stuff here
is soupy so if you're trying to keep it on the hot guy just play with it play with it guys play
with it and then you can see what you're doing anyhow I know what you're thinking oh my god
we're pretty good at what we do but even as good as we are we still make some issues like I had
here Carl was on the phone in Spain to say Jay how the heck do you what's the matter with the
camera we got it resolved anyhow this right here is lime for a finished coat and it's got fine sand
silica sand just like this right here that's the only where I could match it and because I
already put a coat on here and had a few issues I'm gonna route three skim the entire area and
that what that involves is let me get out of my own way is just skimming the whole thing
one more time and be aware two guys
earlier I had well decreed out here what is well Crete it's a bonding agent made by Larsen's now I
put weld Crete everywhere just in case I wanted to coat further like if I was trip to go over
this painted surface with any kind of a stucco it would pop right off in a matter of a year
but because I put the bonding agent by Larsen's well Crete on it won't and why do I use the one
by Larsen's because they've been selling the one by Larson's for thirty-five to forty years
at all of the professional plastering yards they don't have it at Home Depot or Lowe's yet but I'm
sure they'll get it they have other great bonding agents alright now that that's skimmed one more
time because of my booboo earlier now I'll put the texture on guys and again all you're doing
is you're playing with this stuff this is more than enough to texture that whole spot right
there so here we go get that cleared off and all you got to do is you got to look at it trees in
my way right there look at that texture you see it's fine it's flat it's like a pancake so we
can do that I got a bad knee here that should be in the blooper too was on a ladder and the
ladder was on dirt and the dirt the ladder leg sank that my knee hit the wall and guess what
it hit the wall right where a nail was and that nail sure hurt so I'm limping around right now
Jay says well how bad does it hurt did you ever get shot in the knee with a gun if there's no dad
I said well that's how bad it hurts so that's why we're in this knee pad this brace anyway
getting back to this Jocko when you're doing the texture guys if you can remember this you kind of
let the wall pull the stucco off people say well how do you do it how do you do it well I'm just
barely touching the wall and actually the wall is pulling the stucco off so we let it pull it
off and see where this has got a lot of Pancakes and I just put that on okay I'm gonna clean my
trial now I'm gonna flatten it down a little bit more to give it some pancakes because everybody
has got it like a fingerprint a different texture I look at theirs and I see a lot of pancake so I
just go back over it and I give it some pancakes anyway guys as I said earlier I want to wish you
and yours happy holiday Merry Christmas and to Jason and Marilyn and hobby out in Spain
