all right guys Kirk and Jada here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today I want to answer a
question that I get asked about 15 times a week we got a lot of videos so people watch them and
then they try to buy some of the materials we purchase I purchased a lot of my materials at
the major plastering yards for us professionals we go there and we buy bulk you guys who called
me and I've gotten this question asked so many times I thought wow I have the opportunity now
to answer it because of a situation I had we had a drop it didn't materialize so I
have six guys standing around we had to go to the nearest hardware store now almost all the
hardware stores whether it's Lowe's or Home Depot sell almost every product known to man as far as
cement Isha's product this one here okay it's quick read quikrete wrote the book on mortars
stucco's you could call him anything you want mortars in other word for stucco or grout this
particular stuff here and people when they could say Kirk all I found that the material art was
type 1 2 or 3 that just means it's common what is common it's used for grout it's used for a lot of
structural strength but it's hard to spread so the fact that the material yard we had to go to
yesterday because I was in a bind my material didn't get to me on time got your job expected
all my bags there nothing was there except saying I thought you're kidding me right so we went and
got this just to keep the guys going now if you buy say this type one two or three it's
strong stuff guys I've used thousands of bags of this stuff I've done it for fish ponds I've done
it for mountains that we've reinforced but if you do buy buy some lime now the lime you mix
it with this and it a lot more spreadable and by the way guys this stuff here quikrete also
makes a specific cement plaster for scratch and brown coat can you use this for scratching brown
coats absolutely but it's a little tougher to do why do that when you can buy a specific quikrete
that's for scratching Brown but if you you use this for a scratching round coat add some lime
to it what is this this is a cement what's cement cement as a binding agent so if cement is a binder
what happens if you add rocks what happens if you add sand anybody know well it's a great question
I'm glad you guys asked if you add rocks to this cement you've got concrete if you add sand to this
cement what do you got you got stucco or render or plaster or cement plaster mortar what it did a lot
of different names for it I'm gonna come over here Oh Jason already mixed up a back and I'll show you
what we're referring to if we don't get run over you're safe Jay no cars are coming all right so
here's what you look like when it's mixed up did you take a peek in there I'm gonna go ahead and uh
now go ahead and turn this loud mixer off we're about to spread okay guys again so if you buy
any of the type one two or three you can use it for the base coat however these guys also make a
product specifically engineered for scratching Brown where you don't have to do the limes and
add all these things and everything is in it and guys I know I'm like when I when I go to
the mature yards yeah I buy I buy a product that has premium its premium what's premium
mean it just means it has common and plastic in it and yes I pay a premium for premium cement why
because I don't want to buy I don't want to buy the bags that are just say common which they're
about eight bucks a bag where these are about fifteen roughly and yeah I could put get Co in
it and other additives or lime and save a few bucks but you don't save money when you're at
the stage were and we're we're in a hurry we want this stucco mix perfectly and accurately
we just want to put it on anyway guys you're not going to find this at any Home Depot or Lowe's
this particular product because it's only sold at the plastering professional yards but then
again now that we're doing a video of it you might start to see this at Lowe's because it's
one one bag and yeah you have to add your own sand you see how much sand we have in here so
we buy like this and we add our own sand 3 to 1 4 to 1 depending on what we're doing anyhow
