Hello folks, kirk and jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering today I'm gonna just
simply tell you guys we're at a good place to get styrofoam molds already pre coated what does that
mean well see this mold here let's discuss it has already the fiberglass mesh and this fiberglass
mesh goes on the bottom it wraps around goes all the way around to the back then they spray
a cement tshis type of finish on it usually a poly bond because it has an adhesive in it and
plus it's cement tshis then they either give you a float finish which is like this this is a float
finish or sandy finish or they give you a smooth finish this particular one here this company is
so good that they gave me my mitre they gave me the mitre here so generally we have to cut them
like we did those we cut them at an angle and stick that angle piece in it or for the sills
but I like this company well it's the name of this company here it is Sacramento stucco Danny
Smith is the owner how do I know that guy work for him any many years ago when I was a union
guy and his his brother Fred Smith is one of my best pals taught me the most I've learned about
stucco in the shortest amount of period I think I only work with that company five years but in
that five years Oh Fred my buddy he's really good he taught me a lot and helped we're gonna
hang these three sides here what I did is we've already hung the bottom generally I'll hang it
with a poly bond system cement hishis and he said base coat this stuff right here but every company
got their own adhesive guys I'm kind of partial to this one because it hasn't failed me but what I'm
doing now is notice I put little clumps all over these because if you just put one on layer on it
without key in it it's sometimes nothing it adhere very well so what I'm doing here is I'm going to
continue with just these little clumps everybody's got their own method guys whatever method you have
it better last I've never had a mold fall and I've done a few thousand let's put it this way
I did one house in the red and we got there and there were the styrofoam was so much outside and
I just I thought unbelievable we're going to ever install that and the homeowner says oh that's just
part of it he opened the four car garage filled to the top and I thought wow we had to put this
mesh on each one of them and do it make a long story short we were there 30 days so make sure
you buy it already submit just just finish on them and what we generally do guys we put it on go up
down once and it should adhere that's the best way to do it I use nails on the bottom because
they're holding everything you put it once and you design it shake it up one time and then set push
hard to if you're not sure it's going to adhere go ahead use a nail use a nail pop it in place make
sure that all that dead nail goes straight if you try to put in an angle and will never go through
the concrete there's one this other side here you see these joints have to be buttered to so again
in order to make it adhere well you don't want to do a whole bunch of up and down if you do a whole
bunch up and down then you lose your adhesive so I got it right where I want it now I'm going to use
a lot of force and push hard get it right where I want it push hard push hard there you go a lot
more force then probably it shows because that's got to suck up and it here and by the way guys
never cover your weep screed we've seen a fella do that and it called me and I said well you have
a problem with his windows I said somebody buried your weap screen now generally this is a two-man
job right here because I'd hold one side Jason would hold that other because I'm going to put it
on there so what I'll do here is Jake cut these I assume that they're cut right if I cut them maybe
cut a little crooked what I want to do is the window top of the seal should help me hold this
so we're gonna go back and forth couple time grab this guy back and forth a couple times back and
forth come on down come on down that little bit of play can't hardly see it but that little bit of
play should it hear it and what if it doesn't get a nail a strong 16 penny to go through concrete
now this one here notice where I buttered my joint that right there I'll use inside the joint then
I take a trial and I go on my sides anyway guys that's how you do it I have Jay come up here and
help me as it should you can put that camera down but I thought I'd throw a bone to stucco supply
because they're really good and they get you the molds on time and they actually do the mitering
which is kind of rare you've got you homeowners you want them done or you to have the least amount
of work so you have to put a masonry blade on a chop saw give them the exact order or measurement
and they'll do it point all right guys I want to share one more thing Jay pointed out hey better
show these guys this or they're not going to know it since we're showing you this here's another way
to do these guys you can butter up your your edges what I do is I just take a trowel like this and
put a little bit on the edge but what I generally do is I put them up like I showed you and then I
take my my Hawk like so and come on this edge a for a sec please and what I'll do is I'll butter
my joints up this way you know I'll take it here because there's going to always be a gap I don't
care how good a plaster is if you think that wall it was perfectly straight you're out of your mind
these walls sometimes have anywhere between 8 and 1/4 inch gap yeah quarter inch gap right
I've done it where even us will do a wall and if it got a gap that gaps got to be full filled and
this was what gives it strength to so a minute ago I wasn't showing this thinking everybody does this
but what you do is you take the floor you go up and what you're doing now is you're pushing
this cement ish as' bonding agent inside there because when we get ready to do a color finish
the color finishes are only designed to go like a sixteenth of an inch thick or even a thirty-second
so any gaps you have here you will have them you want to fill up with the bonding agent this stuff
is strong anyhow we're going to go ahead and finish the whole thing and we'll show you it
all when we're done okay guys we are done with the molds actually got a few holidays on it but
we've got to come back tomorrow for the real fun we got them around the doors here the doors here
you see all these arches we're doing tomorrow the whole back of the house which are all arches that
ought to be a lot of fun anyway you see how to put them on or you see what it looks like when
