Hi guys Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today what we're going to do is we're going to
do a scratch and brown on this chimney repair and of course this lot is done real well we
did it ourselves there are a number of one coat products that we could use on this say like uno
Eisenwall, there's quite a few of them however we're going to go with the traditional Portland
cement and what I'm going to do is I'm going to use a luminite in a scratch as well as the brown
coat you say why do I do that it's a lot of extra work well yes it is a lot of extra work but say
for example if I used rapidset which is a one coat system we do scratching Brown just like what we're
going to do today the suction is so much different meaning these folks are going to color coat this
house I don't know who's going to do it we may but if we color coat over this and this product
here is say some of the newer modern synthetic products the suction here will be so different
that when the color coat is done no matter what color it is this will stand out like a sore thumb
it'll be a totally different color and the texture will be different I don't want that what we want
is just a color coat at once and be done with it without any ghosting effect on this so I'll show
you how we mix this luminite in buckets and I'll show you a little bit about that alright guys what
we're going to do is show you how we use luma and I now see that cupful that jay has in his hand is
going to go ahead and throw that in a bucket and I'm going to go ahead and mix each bucket
dance fill in the buckets jay is mixing them up and I'm going to be putting them on with Jay
I'll show you something he's mixing that stuff up there, and luminite kind of like a food product it
gets old. At the same time, we have fresh luminite just from the bag in the bucket. It'll last about
a month, and the more you use it, the older it gets meaning it's not as strong as it should be,
so as he's using about a cup in each of these, that's fine in a month we'll need two cups. So
on and so on because it does get old anyway, that's what no man I tried used for all right
guys I got a bird's-eye view of Jason Mixon man I'm up top on the scalpel. I'll tell you it takes
a lot of practice to use luminite. I generally don't show folks how we do this because we get
it wrong. Don't go blaming me. It's a lot of practice and luminite the age of it everything
matters well I don't need to see the bucket people would like to see you hit Matt though yep.
a no job would be complete without mixin
we ran just a little shy, so they're going to mix
up about half a sack now to give us a remaining portion of this
That's how we do. I think about it all right.
Okay, guys, we are done with the scratching brown on this. My 18-year-old son Daniel asked me, Dad,
what if the cracks also crack scratch coat and a brown coat or designed whether you do the same day
or you know 48 hours apart supposed to cure when it cures it'll hairline I watch the small in a
while see these cracks right here you wouldn't be able to see if I had not met it maybe you can zoom
in right here show how powerful these are anyway there's another coat going over this. Hence,
if this hairlines it's not a big deal a lot of folks think this anyway um what I didn't show
you folks is when I'd beat it I hard rubber flouted the hard rubber float is dipped from
a green sponge float you push with a lot of straight you compact it just over and over
the circular motions you really do compact it. Hence, it's pretty strong ah anyway,
this is all set here. My name is Kirk with Kirk Giordano plastering, Thank you,
folks, for watching, and as usual, we will see you guys at the next one.
