Howdy guys, Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering, with another tip of
the day. What causes this right here where the stucco looks like heck.
I just pulled off these pieces because it was just hanging on; what causes it,
you see it; I see it on so many different houses; it's just the ground settling.
The water will settle it, so it's a ground settlement. That's all it is; it's all over
almost every house we do, so I figured the homeowner was talking to me about it. So I said,
man, I'll see what I can do, but what I'm done with my little project, so we're done over here;
figure I'll show you guys something. Look what you do is I just tapped
all these big pieces off. Yeah, you just tap them off,
guys. Look, tap it all. Tap it off now. Once you get that off, you can put some
bonding agents, a lot of bonding agents. It doesn't matter which one you use as
long as you put one because stucco will not adhere to a painted surface won't happen. It
will for like say, Oh, six months a year. But what you do is you take some mud now,
and it's a wee bit soupy, but we can make it work; you get that done.
What kind of cement is this called Omega super wall? How do you notice there's a
big red s on the bag. I'm kidding, guys.
There's no big red S on it, but super cement this has got a lot of fibers in it;
it's pretty good stuff it takes, and this is even kind of soupy, but we'll try to show you give you
an example of how so-called super it is well right here, and this is kind of wet I mean right here
I'm only going an inch I'm going three inches well is hairline crack because I went so thick
all right possibly if it does what happens at the end of the world not really we get some of these
clinkers out of here which was breaking it down. Okay, you put the cement on. How many different
cements are there, guys? A lot. I'm just using Super cement because we used it on another project
here. What you guys would do is let this sit about 15 minutes - possibly half an hour, maybe an even
hour, depending on the weather and many things. The temperature really does affect it quite a bit.
Then you would take a float a green; it doesn't matter if you take a sponge float now.
I'm putting water on it why because I want to bring stucco is a mix of sand and cement so
the Portland cement is our binder the sand is the aggregate aggregate is just sand and cement it's
rock okay aggregate all right now we take a float because this is very wet can it fall sure can it's
sort of wet well we take a float if it was very dry it have less water on here but because it's
so wet and I thought it actually was a lot dry I'm taking all the water out of this flow you
always improvise when you do stucco guys I mean stucco is one of the most improvised and things
there is besides painting both just take common sense and a good coordination hand-eye okay now
here we're happen to stick here with three interesting and it's wet we take a dry float
or as dry as we can get a guy now we come up we feather into the we take the new into the existing
you just pull it upward right here of course it it may drop but uh the idea is to make it
look better than what they had because what he had earlier wasn't too pretty and he says gee,
is there a way to fix that where it's not as bald unison well let me finish what we started and then
we'll take a peek at it what you guys would do is again, as I said earlier let the stuff set for
about 15 minutes to half hour maybe even an hour depending on temperature right now it's a very
cold day and we got wet cement so we pull it up you just pull it up like that guy is that perfect?
No, but for the sake of this video, I'm going to leave it alone because we're going to finish
something else and I'm gonna come right back here in about 20 minutes and repair this up we're just
pull it in a little bit more a lot better than what it did look like anyway my name is Kirk,
