Hello folks, Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering.
today we're gonna show you how to go over some cinderblock I'll show you how to melt like ice
cream it's actually about 105 degrees out here right now and what we're doing is if
you're working in the hot Sun guys here's a tip you better know how to hydrate the walls we it's
about noon now so it's about 105 see those walls over there I'm gonna point to those walls Karl
those walls over there we did it it was about a hundred degrees now we're it's getting later so
it's getting a lot hotter but anyway I'll show you guys a tip we're matching a texture on the
house over here can you show that texture anyway it's a pretty simple skip trial finish they're
gonna paint this so what we're planning on doing is we've got a few more walls left that I'd show
you guys something okay in the extreme heat like like right now where it's about 105 what I've been
doing I've been hydrating these walls because if you don't wet them down as fast as you put the
cement on it'll suck up and it'll dry up instantly Lu's gonna hand me some mud I'll show you what I
do guys I want to show you how we we put it on and we're doing the caps too and so since I'm
doing the caps I'm going above though see how I'm going above and allowing for a little bit of mud
to go on top I'll show you why am i letting that putting that extra mud on the top there too okay
so we're gonna go here and get my here's another tip to guys when you cover your ground don't cover
right next to the wall otherwise when you pull your paper you will pull the stucco right off of
the wall so I've got my paper back about a half inch I'm coming here and let's see get right by
this wrought iron we don't want to mess up the wrought iron either so okay a couple more what
we do is we put a little bit of mud on the top and what that is will skim this top and watch I allow
a little bit of the extra extra mud on top to fall down and I get my corner just like that get that
corner with that excess mud and again you got to remember god it is hot so when it's this hot
best to put it on fast hydrate your walls and know what you're doing because if you don't know what
you're doing the first scoop will just by ride up yeah put it on a little bit to go over clear your
top right here come on down come on down you get a rock in it take it out normal you buy the terawatt
see material yards to the sand it got all kind of stuff in it alright we're almost set here a
note to the guy who did this cinderblock did a really nice job the last senator block job we
went over a guy thought he was building bricks and he had half-inch grout lines I said what's
with the grout lines he says well it's called bricks have it so I thought it would do it in
the cinderblock told him dude now we got to put the stucco a lot thicker the way he's done his I
don't have to go too thick hop in that's what we're supposed to go okay one more trial and
I'll show you how we texture it all on the same Vidhya okay we get a little bit on here now we
put here and every house is different guys every house has a different texture with this particular
house they have they did the texture with the mud itself I like this mud here get my corner
just right because that's part of our what we're doing and I'm actually let's just set for about
five minutes pretty darn hot but even this I've been hydrating it over and over then I'll show
you how we do it quick texture alright guys back over here figured I'd spread out the rest of those
walls while I waited for this to set now what I'm doing is I'm taking a green sponge float and I'm
knocking down these corners I'm wetting them why do you wet the corners for strength you just go
ahead and give it a little bit of strength now what we're doing here they're gonna paint which
means the colors that doesn't matter okay I'll put this on ten minutes to go and all I did was
ran around here and spread this now what you can do is I can use the same mud that I'm spreading
with because it's their finishes somewhat flat or pancake is what we call you put it on and as
soon as before the brown coat is dry you knock it down but I'm gonna show you with its color coat
because that's how I'm doing it my texture all the way around it because I have a lot of color coat
on my truck and it's easier for you folks to see exactly what I'm talking about okay you take some
texture you put it on see that that's just let's call the Skip trial finish and what I like to do
is tell my tops where I have that corner now that corner is it's pretty strong but if you want it
to be extra strong put a little stucco on it just like this see home coming down with it coming down
reinforcing it lastly I'll hit this corner over here now I'll put some on the top we're
doing the top two because he doesn't the fellow who built this doesn't want anybody to see that
they are cinderblock and that's okay that's what we do I put a little bit on here get rid of get
rid of that look one the scoop and I'll have it done now say I see guys since we're matching the
particular finish he has which again is put on and knock down before the ground coat is set if
this brown coat set and I come here to do this texture it'll be a completely different texture
you guys got a you're wanting to do this and you want a particular texture in mind it takes
practice guys like anything else you want to be good at it just takes practice if you want to know
what how to make texture is very put in about ten years and you'll figure it out do it in the cold
weather the heat all weather makes a different pattern okay there's a skip child finish now what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna knock that down which means clean your cha Edison look like 110 now
when the thermometer is set 105 like 15 minutes ago okay we're gonna knock it down and I wanted
to blend in with their finish if I let if I let it sit too too much longer this skip child will
be more pronounced in fact I want it to blend in with the brown coat because that's what they have
on their house anyway we hit it right before it has a chance to dry if you're doing a Taco Bell
or any of those kind of things we can go super heavy we're not doing Taco Bell so anyhow I've
done them all guys you name it I've done them and this is exactly what they have on here so I
thought I'd show it to you guys we're all cooking in this in the Sun and my brother loose it's all
hell with the video man let's just knock this out and go home with hot I figured hey we got
to do it anyway so we could show you guys whether does make a difference guys about 105 anyway my
