howdy guys Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering, I'll show you guys is since we're
already here so we're doing some cement work the homeowner said hey Kirk can you put some stucco
with acid yes I can but I don't think he want us to do that because this house is separating it's
a stress crack we're on a huge Hill or we got a lot of movement here I said the other thing
to do would be I mean for a crack this size that's about as large a crack as we can repair we pulled
this off and it's kelly moore looks like some kind of a last American Paint because it peels
off and then a lot of cement Isha's finish came out here I told a man I'm already here I'll use
this product here this is a rain gutter and what it has it's it feels and it has the adhesive so
we're going to pump this whole tube in here now I know a lot of these polyurethane say they'll go
up to 3/8 of an inch thick so I'm going to fill this up with a this whole tube of polyurethane
and the reason I don't use stucco which will take me just a swipe and instead I'm going to use this
is because once this is fixed now or once this is installed in here now to flex caulking even
though this is strong stuff is not going to hold 50 ton house together but this is what
I would do if it were my own house anyway here's another tip guys this has been left in the Sun so
now it's workable and I took a phat screwdriver and I just opened it up sometimes when you have
these polyurethane Caulkins you leave them in the cold truck and you don't open the tip full blast
I took a screwdriver over and over and just jabbed it a whole bunch of time I want this
stuff to go in here and fill out and I'm going to do something that I don't normally do and
I'm going to mix a chemical this is a buddy of mine here and he says was gee is that caulking
going to match and I said no way it's not going to match because what you have is you have a sandy
finish so you guys don't try this but there's something I can do now I'm going to put a more
flex in here and this more flex has sand in it it's very sandy and guys if you're going to do
any cracks ever do them early morning before the Sun opens that wall if you do it when the Sun is
out I mean it's already pretty hot right now but if you do it when the Sun is out what happens is
that wall is already opened up you want it to be early morning preferably now that I got that
done I'm just going to take this little putty knife here and set it in these sides with this
more flex because I'm getting ready to float this so I've got the benefits of both worlds
and I know there's going to be some engineer out there is going to say Kirk you can't mix those
those coffees and I say this is for a friend of mine and there's a reason why I can I'm just an
applicator not an engineer tell me because I want to know I generally another way to do
this guys is what I was planning on doing and that was after I got that caulking in there I
can take weld Crete and put a bonding agent over this and then put stucco but again guys if I put
stucco over this the stucco tends to be brittle and when this wall moves and guys it is gonna
move it'll wreak RAC all right put this putty knife down and a little bit of water on this
We just float that up, tie it in, pull it into the painted surface. You want more grit. Just
put more circles just like that. If you want more, you can even tap it like that really
brings the sand finish that what we want. We're not only matching this right here,
but we're tapping it and softening it there it is that's how I would do it, guys anyway,
my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano plastering Jason on the camera again a few folks have things
you would like to see us do because we have so many of these instances just click below
this video where the comments write your comment. We'll see if we can't show you
how we fix things. Thank you for watching, and as usual, we'll see you guys at the next one.
