Good morning folks kirk here with kirk giordano plastering, toady what we're
going to do jason and i are going to show you how to match a text code a
lot of areas on this building uh the text code's coming off you see here
your color coat you apply the bonding agent to the wall the color codes never come off I've
never seen any properly applied color code from all. Still, in texas coats, they put the bonding
agent in the hand hopper and spray it. You can tell a text code because it has a different this
is not sand these little things this uh the bumps here are kind of like an acoustic ceiling the same
material so what we're gonna do is we're to scrape all the loose stuff off and after we
scrape all the loose stuff off we're going to hit it with a wire brush then we're going to apply
weld creep to it for a bonding agent and apply a color coat i am going to put some sand in it
to match this as close as possible we have quite a few areas here some areas over here.
here are just a few areas here and there, so what we're going to get,
I'll show you something i'm going to get started here
this is pretty important for the bonding agent on the wall whether or not you're doing a text
code or anyhow we're gonna get started we're gonna remove everything that's loose
prep it, and I'll show you how we match this finish when we get to that stage okay guys jason
mixed me up a good batch of mud here i'm using a 20 30 La Habra which has got heavy grit and
then we also added sand to try to come up with this text coat and what i'm going to do here is
just skim it out, and i am going to go a little bit thicker than what i generally
go with a color code because i have to come out a little extra and granted we took off
everything that needed to be needed to come off and yes there is a technique for that too
we applied the whale creature here now i'm going to skim it so let's see what i do here
um one last hawk full
okay, after i skip this last piece here, it's got a set it's got to set at least
15 minutes before i can load it
now in the dead center here, i got to put a little bit more dead center because
it's thicker than the average color code, so now that i got that where i want it
i leave it alone for about 15 minutes. So what
I'll do instead is I'll show you this that I've done already.
Okay, this area where I've already coated it, and now granted, when you go to the edges,
you have the base, which makes it easier because i'm following the base as my template
here. It's pretty simple because dead center here, i have nothing to rely on,
so it has to harden up enough; otherwise, I'll gouge it here. This is just a four-inch crack
kind of simple to fix it i take the sponge float to get my joints first.
then
That's it we're in a noisy area, as usual, most of our sights are anyhow that's how you match a
text coat with the color-coded tool before you log off look at that shoe right there 250 years old
that's what the arborist said pretty much anyhow thank you, folks, for watching thanks great for
doing all that video and mixing this stuff, as usual, we'll see you guys on the next one.
