howdy folks kirk and jay here with kirk giordano plastering, with another tip of the day uh we did
a job about two months ago we were using this diocesan dyson is uh it's made in italy you see
it right here diocesan it's made in italy and what it has is here's a couple buckets we mixed
um if you look at it you say well it's kind of clumpy what's with that um that's the material
we're going to walk over to the other side now the reason i'm using diason from italy
is you see the finish here it's uh it was a dash finish and then they text coded it because
uh i don't know too many people who said hey gee whiz let's put a text code for looks
it's usually a text code lasts about 20 years to waterproof the house they got no eaves eve should
be two feet wide protect the wall anyway we're doing a patch here so it's the perfect product
for this one of the things guys is to learn how to apply plastic most people could learn how to apply
it in two three years hands-on every day material knowledge now that's another another topic
that takes a while anyhow what we're going to do here this past inspection we had a last inspection
and we're going to go ahead when my brother who mixes up that um diocesan
i wanted some accelerators in it because it's pure lime like in europe they use a lot of pure lime
that's been used for thousands of years here in america they don't use too many lime or complete
lime products why because it takes about 24 hours to sometimes three days for it to dry
what we got here is we chipped all this stuff out and because it's the southwest side and because
there's no overhangs protecting it just that little bitty parapet and that i see it had a
text code too for just in case it leaked what we did is we caulked the side here
we caulk the sides as a rule i don't because it interferes with the key
and the stucco goes in there to prevent a crack but i thought i'm not too worried about
a crack i've got weld crete well it's just a bonding agent you guys need a bonding agent
quick crete is just as good sold at home depot and lowe's and all the rest of the hardware store
so i put some a bonding agent in this crack right here here and here and then we scraped off it when
i was talking to the fellow he says man i wish i would have hired you guys to do this patch and i
was looking at him thinking you already did hire us to do that patch so we're gonna surprise him
and fix that patch all right guys now that jason got all this heavy mud up here i'm gonna go ahead
and apply it i'm going to come back to the material in its composition but as i
when you guys plaster always hit your perimeter first especially the top because it's got a set
and it's got to defy gravity right here so hit your top first guys always hit the tops first
it'll save you a lot of hassle with coming back and dealing with dropouts meaning
gravity's pulling on it, so it'll pull it right down
so now you can hit the bottom
I like this material, Dyason, because
it's uh well it's green, which means it's good for the environment.
it uses a lot of byproducts it has perlite is
volcanic glass just heat it up until it pops like popcorn and that's instead of sand that's used
it's also got diatomaceous earth de it's also got cork, but the main ingredient is lime so
What I did was I put some accelerator in it. So now, here you guys go.
I'll amuse you for a minute to show you what we're working on. I got three stands here
to get to where I want. It's kind of rocking to add a little bit of excitement to my life
anyway uh back to this, now that you got your perimeter up here done, that's less
likely to fall down because gravity will take it down, so I'm just going to fill this up.
I'm going about an inch and an inch and a quarter-inch and a half thick.
let's say I why so thick aren't you supposed to go only 7 8 well yeah, technically, but
it had a few things going on here that were made it thicker
how many plasters out there would rather plaster rather than last
us as plastering contractors were called um well stucco contractor
plastering contractors and we do the lath too the paper wire i'd rather do this
any day than paper and wire and see earlier we had a mix but it was a little too soupy so we had to
put it back in the buckets and add a little bit more sand to stiffen it up a little bit
maybe we could put more cement in it too or luminite when i first got in the trade lumini
was about 10 bucks a bag now it's like 70 and all luminite is is an accelerator for cements
you could use it in concrete you could use it in stucco and it speeds up the drying time
uh that's what we want because i want to we got a lot of windows on this house first of all
we got a whole lot of windows and we want to go back and start doing this to each one
so i'm gauging this to set in about one half hour if it sets a little sooner a
little later that's okay we'll improvise but the reason i added some luminite to set it faster
is because i want to float it and match this finish today and not uh not tomorrow so
that spread now a lot of you guys see I could spread this out like
and kind of derby it or as we say in the trade rot it to get it true and plum with this child because
it's 20 inches I hit here hit there but here's something you guys can do you can take a 2x4
and wet the 2x4 first otherwise this is a very sticky material, by the way,
um so you wet your two by four you watch your darby and just pull it straight up
blam done until it's ready to finish and we've got a whole lot of things going on here so when
we're finished with a more work on the other side we will come back and show you how to finish it
and if anybody's watching they might say hey that matches already it's close but not on the money
anyhow i'm going to go ahead and skim this because i want to surprise these guys
when they said wow i wish you would have been here to do the first one i thought well we'll just
surprise them and do this so when they see it they say oh you fix it okay guys i'll show you how we
float this stuff this stuff is tricky being from europe this product uh there's a lot of people
that actually do do that in europe so i'm sure uh it's very successful but um i don't like to
change in the middle of the road i've been doing it a particular way for like 40 years
yeah um this material is kind of like struck the light for insides you it's hard because it's it
sticks to plywood and it's designed to stick to plywood it's also a really sticky material so
any of you plasters renders out in the uk if you're working with
acrylics it's the same thing because the sun will hit acrylic it'll dry and then you
come 10 minutes too long and it'll drag which means it's a drag to float it but
i'm trying to give you guys an idea in this particular material isn't sold
too many areas here yet, so I would advise if you guys say gee
i got a patch but i don't want to search all over the place and i sure as heck don't want to google
plastering yards near me to find these materials i'll go to home depot they got quick crete same
day um they have uh rapid sets stucco same day they have sat creek quick crete they even have
green core which is a fine sand thus the stucco from rapid set is almost this course but not quite
so uh jay had already told me dad you know that the shadow's not going to show so i'm going
to move this ladder and get that last piece but when you're if if you happen to find this or this
video uh say five years from now is still online and you're wondering man how did he apply that
keep your trowel wet just like interior if you're using structural light every time you i put a
truffle wet it and then put it on here i have to keep dipping this in the bucket because it
clogs the sponge and it drags the this particular stucco it's the nature of it anyway uh i can go on
for another half hour and tell you a whole bunch a lot of history about this stuff but you guys get
the point i did not want to dash this meaning just just throw it on plus i wanted to explain
particular products that are coming i say in a year or two this is going to be all over the place
because it's it's green and people want to save the world including myself so uh we're showing it
to you now okay guys jay decided to show you the finished product of it because the sunlight's on
it now and you can actually see what we're doing anyway this product is real real popular in the uk
and while we're on the subject of the uk i'd like to give a shout out to my buddy steven price and
his lovely fiance kelsey they're getting married uh steven he's a fellow plasterer or what they
call a fellow spread out in the uk he always says kirk you know what i tell people about crack and i
say no stephen what's that and he says well i tell him if you don't want hairline crack to leave the
stucco in the bags i like that i said man i like that style i don't think i'd get away with that
but while we're on hairline cracks this product i've used it a number of times now i've never
even noticed a hairline crack in it even after two three weeks and this is thick this is about
an inch and a half anyway my name is kirk with Jason on the camera, we thank you all for watching and
