Hi guys, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, Jason and I are gonna show you guys a shortcut
to breaking out stucco when you have a stud wall on how to correct a cold joint a cold
joint will mean that this this right here when you put plaster to it this scratch and brown
coat will Perimeter crack it'll crack almost where you could stick a credit card in it let
me show you the right way to do it although Jason hates their dust to get on that camera right here
we've got a saw cut here and a saw cut here I broke it out with just a tip of the hammer just
lightly one thing if the camera shows this paper is over this paper what the homeowner did was we
already addressed this there's two layers going underneath this one and he wasn't sure how long
it was gonna take before a fellow like me come in and did it so he put this over it just shade it
from the Sun so it doesn't get beat up anyway I'm gonna show you how what I do to address this cold
joint without having to break out to the next stud very simple you could use a pneumatic tool
which I have on the truck I got a lot of these boss Bulldogs would you know take it right out
I'm up on the hill I don't want to go back to the truck to get my my Bulldog so what I'm doing is
I'm just tap it out like I tapped the top out and I'll show it to you you just take it down
and this is called scoring this will give me a better bite where we won't get a hairline crack
doesn't have to go much but has to go a little bit that's good enough guy now what we're gonna
do to is that's that's a last American paint when you have that it's a waterproof paint it's
a membrane peels off like that good stuff guys I recommend it to Kelly moral ask America for
sealing stucco okay now that we got that done now that's a lot less likely to hairline crack
another tip is guys what I generally will do is we're getting ready to do some cement here I'll
put this weld creat now weld Crete is a bonding agent that adheres stucco to concrete or concrete
to concrete you name it it does it it's the cement it's for sealing cement or it is for
cement tshis products to bond to other cement tshis products or for cement tshis products to
bond to a painted surface I'm putting it in here because I don't want a perimeter crack here the
owner really doesn't want that perimeter crack either so this is just another another way and
lastly what I'll show you guys is is the wire now I sometimes double up my wire I want to get in my
own way like say here I'll put this wire is gonna go on here and I already pre-cut it so now that I
got it where I want it I put a couple staples to hold it in place and the top here rather than cut
this off I'm bending it why because I want more I want this wire built up right here a little bit
more that way the stuck last something to bite into it's kind of I'm burning it out a little
bit more than necessary I'll show you one last tip and me me I have a lot of wires on my truck
that's what we do we have lots of wires so now that existing wire is tied into the new wire it's
overlapping each other and we've got a nice joint right here if you guys happen to have scrap wires
or just put them on that cold joint like say this I'm gonna take this piece of wire and what are the
odds that are gonna fit just right pretty slim and tacked on as I said earlier we're up kind
of kind of high what I'll do now is is click off that phone and what I'll do now is find my
little bucket of nails and I'm going to hammer all hammer all this in the studs here every 16
inches and put some nails right here right here any way that that part is not what I was trying
to address I was trying to address the cold joints in a simplest way you can do this guys because you
don't need to go to the next stud if you know how to do it and this is about all you can do
as far as to keep that perimeter crack away you do the best you can then you have nothing to be
ashamed of afterwards if it if it hairlines well then it just hairlines anyhow my name is Kirk,
Jason on the camera as usual also as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
