hi guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today I want to show a product that
is perfect for what we have here we have a wall that's continuously expanding what does that mean
well we got a if you could point to this for a sec Jay it's a big house big wall and notice we
have a lot of easy 105 where we're at also this wall heat up to 130 what's that mean that means
that plywood as well as the studs are gonna expand it's gonna push the stucco it's gonna crack here's
worst-case scenario and on the other side where we have the ship lap siding same thing we've got
a big gap fortunately I've got the right stuff for it this is like a high flex it is a caulking
that they just come out with not too long ago it expands quite a bit they're saying on their
literature that the elongation expansion is a thousand percent what does that mean I'm not
sure elongation so we put it in here to expand a thousand percent so there are other stuff that
when I use often that expands about five hundred percent so when I put this in here it'll stick to
this would it'll stick to the stucco it sticks to porous wood aluminum glass you name it the beauty
of this particular thing is they say you could paint in within an hour why somebody wants to
paint within an hour I don't know you can with that so I'm gonna go ahead and fill this stuff
now granted this is painted and they're going to paint when I do this they're gonna paint
this caulking are they gonna paint it within a half hour doubtful or an hour but you can't
all different colors I was talking to my pal at Westside Eric what's the dude can I borrow that
is this any collateral and I said like what uh money driver's license and I thought really it's
just messing with you Kirk anyhow we're gonna show you how to apply this product here now now granted
I've got to get my extension ladder for the top this guy not much to it and as this wall expands
and it will guys you could see they've already used they've used that spray foam that really
really expands but with that the next day you got to come and clean it up because it'll expand and
mushroom way out here this stuff won't do that most Caulkins don't do that but they do have a
tendency to shrink not this one this is not uh you know a cheaper product such as an acrylic
latex and I'm not knocking acrylic latex they have their uses but this isn't one of them this
one here see how I'm my own way all right it really does expand I mean it really it really
will expand when this wall heats up again and will this wall heat up again absolutely I mean if I see
what what they already have here I taught them pay what we're gonna do is it's gonna be close
but it it'll stop if any caulking is going to repair this this is the stuff let's put it that
way it will adhere to the wood it will adhere to the stucco and what I'm gonna do is take my finger
now this tube right here is a goner since this is a huge crack guys and what happens if you put it
some caulk is have a tendency to shrink in but if it happens it happened not a big deal not a pretty
this up a little bit I'm just gonna take my finger and all I want this caulking to do is expand with
the wall when this wall when it heats up and of course it's going to I just showed you what
happened with the stucco wall and this is the only wall in the house that's bad or that has expanded
okay so what we're doing is trying we're allowing it to this is more of an expansion
type of caulking where it acts as an expansion joint so I'm feathering it into both the wood
as well as the stucco and again guys this will adhere to brick stucco masonry aluminum glass why
would anybody want to use it for glass I don't know so in the literature just proving a point
what we're gonna do now I've got this smooth we're gonna take it all the way down we're
gonna caulk the other side then Jason's gonna go grab our extension ladder we're gonna do the
top also all right guys had to set the ladder up obviously to get this high portion well we
got here Jason with dad and Jays been licensed 10 years now this particular wall he was making
the same comment I thought but I didn't express it how could this window be so bad and this side
be so bad just because the wall is expanding I found out now right here I put half a tuba I'm
on my third tube I put half of a tube of this in there and what is happening the rains coming down
and it's it's hitting the eave there and it's following here and it's pouring in here it must
just be pouring how often would would that be I would say we are up on the top of a hill we are
at a high altitude and because this is southwest the majority of our range comes southwest now
with a regular width rain we're not going to get any under here but what is happening is
we're getting the rain storm which drives the rain horizontal instead of just straight down
so this protects from 998 percent of the range but the two percent which are full of wind and
come horizontal that is what is doing it so the majority of rains no problem no problem but when
you have the rain with the winds it'll push it up into here it'll hit this ceiling because the the
winds will push it up right and it hits this wall it travels at an angle down and it's been going in
a hole that whole is like that big about that deep there's nothing there so the waters been
pouring in there I wouldn't doubt inside this window here they have sheetrock that's damaged
and things like that but I caught it we fixed it we're coming down we're gonna put some caulking
on this trim here and I even on that side there take it to the middle you see that huge crack that
should not occur anyhow nothing we can't handle we catch it we catch the majority of this stuff
