Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering today we're doing something a
little bit unusual fella here emailed me a picture of these and I said well what city is it in and he
says Alameda I thought you're kidding me what bank I thought let me go to that bank for 30 years so
let's show you how we repair this little thing right here trying to keep people so they don't
walk all over it and yell at me this right here what kind of finishes that that is what we call a
2030 sand was the difference fine finishes silica 2030 is what you see here and then a 16 20 is a
heavier aggregate now the fella asked me this is what can you match it with base coat material I've
had all kind of people say it can't be done and some folks say you need a color coat and I said
well me I'd be I'd be conceded if I said I could but I'd be a liar if I said I couldn't of course I
can match it I've been doing this forever in fact I'm in a location that if you shoot that way point
that way just for a sec that is a shopping center and back in 89 89 I did the car wash there and way
before that when I was working for the Union we did most of the old shopping center likens 1978
how long ago is that that's classified that's way a long time ago over 35 years ago so getting back
to this where the fella says with gee can you match match it in can you match the color as a
man and by the way you see how this is dropping out we have two inches underneath this lip so
with a two inch lip we're going to put it in and it tends to fall out until it's dry what what I'm
doing is I'm putting the first coat on and we are about 95 degrees which is rare so we're 95
degrees the paper's absorbing all of the moisture out of this this particular cement plaster what's
the name of the cement plaster it's called II's in wall and you could only buy it at professional
material ARDS so if any of you folks watch and say well gee where do you buy it you have to go
to a professional material yard they do not sell this at Home Depot or Lowe's they make a sister
product to it made by the same company which is called a rapid set rapid it also makes this but
again this one is for the professionals while I was on the phone with this fella who I was
talking to he's in another state he says well gee Kirk oh I had another guy go out there and
I said well how come he's not doing it he says well something came up and I said it was it and
he says well it's a positive Channel I don't to mention any names I said oh I know those guys we
call them crummy and dummy why those guys I said dumb that they'd use these hammers to break out
and try to get the money out of these not knowing that they're on film but anyway I said dude you
got the right guy because I can do this stuff with my eyes closed the only issue we're having
is telling everybody hey there's two three more ATMs inside and there's another one on that side
they were looking at us like man you're in my way I'm in a hurry I've gotta get some money ya know
the feeling anyway what what I'm basically doing here guys is I'm putting on that first coat and
now again because it's so hot and could this mud be a little heavier absolutely when I say heavier
it's kind of um loose for what we're doing I preferred a little bit heavier but if it was
a little heavier or a little looser I can make either one work because I got a lot of time in a
lot of time in so getting back to doing this what I'm doing I got two inches underneath this lip so
this is blue tape by the way the frame of this is you might say man you jacking up that frame
that's my blue tape right here which I'm gonna pull off in a minute we got a few of these that
we're doing so I gotta let this set how long do I gotta let it set or about well with the Sun
with the heat off big I figure this gotta set for 15 minutes and this is an extremely quick
set submit plaster guys so 15 minutes is all I need and then once I start floating this I'll
show you how we match this particular finish again there are there's a steel child finish
there's the silica finish which is Santa Barbara it's normally called there's the 2030 which this
is there's a 16 20 which is heavier there's a - which is even heavier there's a tunnel - can
I match them with this mud you betcha anyway when I get to that stage where I need another
10 minutes by that time I'll do the rest of these ATMs and I'll come back I'll show you how we felt
that stuff in all right guys back again we just happen to do a couple more they're done floated
in everything see this color here this is a light can you see this piece right here this is already
dried now this piece right here is exactly the exact same color as that the fellow has asked me
about painting so can you match that color paint I said no we can't do that but I can use eyes and
wall which is real similar but you got it painted anyhow there's no such thing of stucco a porous
finish a cement tshis finish matching a sealed finish this color right here is what I scooped
up it's the exact same color just I knew already knew that by experience but anyway now what I'm
going to do is float to Sid I'm going to get this joint get the joint a little tighter guys
and I just use my trial to squeeze that off if we were going to be here more than another hour I'd
love to show you the color when this is all done because anybody would be able to see what's right
on the money in fact there's a restaurant close by maybe we might go there and come
back and show the finished product because it is going to be very very similar to the exact color
not even be noticeable they might not even have to paint it okay just for the sake of what I'm doing
next is now we float it I want to match the same aggregate same sand sand good fancy word for rocks
or sand okay I'm gonna hit my tape first why hit the tape because I don't get ready to pull that
when I pull this off if the stucco is attached to it then it'll pull the stucco off with it so now
I'm just using a little bit of skill common-sense and practice and feathering everything in its just
right - guys okay I feather everything in feather everything in and what I do is I look at it I use
less water or more water in order to match that finish and again if it was heavier I've used a
lot more water and I could bring the aggregate or sand out if it was even a finer finish I'd
leave this on a lot longer hit it with the trial and it would come out a lot finer all this stuff
is just time in the trade guide I was showing you earlier we did that shopping center whoa over 35
years ago so Oh Kirk got a lot of time in alright and we get this little joint here feather it in
Okay and again it's about Oh 95 degrees it's warm I can see right here just in the shade get this
bucket out the way there's a little holiday right there so I'm going to take it take the exist the
new into the existing and leave some sand get that joint out now again here's the transitions
determine the professionalism for from an amateur and so my transition from the new to the existing
has got to be on the money okay now I would have the Sun right there at a perfect moment
distracting my vision okay so again guys twenty thirty finish we match it and as the areas that
I see that are heavier I'm taking my float on its edge and just get in getting the extra grit off
now just for the sake of if I wanted this to be finer I can take one of my dry floats and hit it
and it knock even more off so now that that's done I take this little piece of tape and go blam and
voila there you have it that's the perfect finish and when this dries it's going to blend it in real
close I'm going to go ahead and do this one and we're going to clean up in a couple minutes this
probably dry we'll show it to you possibly if not my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering,
