hi guys Kirk and Jay and family here I'm going to show you guys some one coke products what we're
doing here is the fellow lastest himself and he had it inspected by the city and he called me
it's the Kirk can you go ahead and do the cement work and the answer to that is of course you guys
want to laugh any of your work and have us do the cement work hey we're good with that this
finish here is kind of tough to do but nothing we can't handle what I'm doing here is I was looked
at he sent me an email by the way it was on on my computer and I could see these corners right there
you see those radiuses and I noticed he didn't have corners here and I said that's cool leave
the corners off let me do those because the radius is there taken arch a this is corner aid but they
sell arch aid and since I forgot mine I'm doing it by hand the old-fashioned way but that's not what
we're here to show you guys I'm just doing this because I can but you cut the corner aid and you
just make arches it takes a little bit of practice but that's how we used to do it so I'm going to
arch aid this top one over here well point out a couple things in you folks always call me and ask
me this the nails he used regular nails you didn't use Korean nails but you don't need burning nails
because the wire is salford that means it's pushed away from the wall a quarter-inch how do i I can
see if I put my finger in back of these guys it looks like it's tight but it's not there's another
thing guys people say to me hey we got to put a drip screed here if it's existing work it's pre
drip screens were actually code and 75 we didn't even start using them to 1980 so you don't the he
got away without having to put a drip screen you put a drip screed and it kind of makes the house
look funky unless it's the entire house but I want to I want to show you how we apply these but first
I want to show you you know we're going to use a rapid set today what does rapid it rabbits that's
an Eisenwald product now can you see this call rapid set a certification about 15 years old now
you don't need a certificate anymore because Home Depot and Lowe's sells all these products but you
should really require a certificate I'll tell you why if you over mix these products there's
rapidset there's BMI there's a lot of products and if you over mix them you compromise the
integrity of the strength back I mean 25 years ago I had this from La Habra wall and people say
oh that Western reinforced fiber Admission La Habra wall and la Western Omega they said all
that was garbage it wasn't the material that was garbage it was people applying it that weren't
as good as they should be because technically when we get to that stage I'll show you there
are some materials used you apply same day you put the scratch coat on then you follow up with the
brown coat there's some materials like BMI where you put the scratch M Brown same time or the one
because you want them compacted where you don't want to play with them you put them on you just
darbie them and you leave them alone you mess with the packs but this particular product we're using
today the size of all rapidset it's got a lot of do's and don'ts of course Lou we've been mixing
this stuffer it been mixing with me for 30 years he knows all of the do's and don'ts so I don't
recommend any homeowners use this particular product and because you can't over mix it guys
that's so important it's probably going to miss a lot of little tips but you do your scratch coat
then you apply the brown coat d'Arby it and I'm going to put my finish in there and I'm going
to float it to match those little marks but again when we get to that stage I'm going to knock this
top out first and then when I get to the stage here I'll show you how I do it you guys might
want to skip ahead if you want to just see how we do this particular finish it's a back to back
system could I go one solid inch I could could we put say coat after coat after coat till we reach
six inches thick why would anybody want to go six inches thick I've done it I've done foundations
where I'm going six inches thick coat after coat after coat after coat not one fat coat guys anyway
when we get to that stage I'll show you one last tip guy this fella did the breakout here
Cement won't adhere to dust see all this dust here is what we do we get rid of the dust by
the way the guy did a nice last job but we get rid of the dust because if you leave that dust
and try to suckle over it what will happen you know crack like an egg because it has nothing
to grip to generally I don't use other people's hoses but I thought man you got so much crap on
this hose we could use it anyway we're going to go ahead and take it down to here and then
we'll show you what I'm talking about with these eyes will all rapid sets and again guys I don't I
don't recommend homeowners use it unless you got some time in because it does require experience
otherwise you have a nightmare on your hands I prefer if you've homeowners do this or I prefer
I suggest that you guys use Portland cement do a scratch coat come back 48 hours later two days and
do your brown coat and then put your texture in the mud I'll show you how we do that when we get
to that stage okay guys I want to show you another thing I'm not at the point where us that are the
whole video is about because there's so many different things that I see that need to be done
okay like we were saying earlier I was pulling it apart you take your hammer guys and pull it out
that's what we've been doing we've been pulling it out because it's a little too tight why is it
a little bit too tight because this is inch and a half I couldn't see that on video or email but now
that I'm here I see it I took a corner aid and I've stepped on it I put it right here because
this is two and a half inches thick it's about an inch and a half here's what I'll do on here
now notice this is one batch of mud here this is the first bet bloomix and you might not be able to
use a camera and do videos but damn he could show mix mud all day long somebody called me yesterday
said dude your video sucks and I emailed him back two minutes my second video I ever did like four
years ago plus Lou was holding the camera Lou might be blind in one eye and cancel out the
other but he can mix all day long anyway show you guys a few other other things like say we're going
over here what I'll do is I'll do all my edges first because these are thick right here good
thing I'm using this particular stucco same day material a lot thicker than I originally thought
because you can't judge it on an email but I could sure see it now a couple other things too guys I
was I was showing you a caulking when you apply caulking you can you can use that latex acrylic
silicone stuff but I highly recommend you go with polyurethane caulking do not skimp with caulking
that's I mean some caulking is only lasts about 10 years watch the poly urethanes Manos last 30
40 years let alone when you put sucker over it they're sealed forever ah I'll show you another
thing you see this powder right here Carr point yeah okay guys we are we're doing two coats but
generally a coat is 3/8 I'm going over a half inch per coat why because stuff is a lot thicker than
I thought so just to prove a point to you guys I took a scratcher when I was Union we just run
down the walls we pump it back and forth and I put the red tape on it so that I would be consistent
it would the tape would knock off the clinker why didn't I do it around there because we're putting
patterns on in a few minutes why don't I recommend you homeowners do this because even us guys with
time in have some issues now okay we're going inch and a half and plus I still got to put these
little pancakes and float it but if you folks don't know how to use this material get started
my whole mixer we get a whole mix I figured I'd be done I put two bags of retardant in it that
gives me an extra hour hour and a half so you got to know how to use this stuff so again guys
I'm not recommending you've used I'm just showing you how to use it I'm recommending you guys use
straight Portland placer to coach okay guys back what we did is we popped some little half circles
on here and now what I'm doing is water floating in just taking the water and float it and can you
do this with regular cement no no no anyhow we are hustling we're trying to fight the Sun that's why
don't allow people use this product because if I'm having issues now nothing we can't handle
but running out running out everything is getting hard I got a minute and a half he says so I'll
leave it with my buddy he called me and says hey Kirk ask me some questions that I was asking said
Kirk I'm working with hot mud come on man hurry up so that's where we're at right now we're out
of time with that card and I'll just show it to you show that top piece Carl please all these is
as little bumps right here guys but this is real thick it's about inch and a half to two in some
spot anyway my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering we thank you for watching it as usual
