how do you guys Kirk and Jason here with Kurt Giordano Plastering tree today I wanna I got
a lot of calls for this mesh I got about three emails last week and folks are saying gee how
come you use in the 17 gauge wire or the chicken wire as opposed to the two by eight strips so I
thought I'd point that out guys this is three point four salford wire or you can get three
points for regular wire you see these strips right here the wood strips what you can't see
is this these out like this it veers it like it's a skirt so it comes out it's not straight up and
down now he just put some strips of wood here and then he's gonna cut those off but if I use
regular wire like you see in a lot of our videos say the 70 gauge or 18 gauge that's stucco netting
the 20 gauge is chicken wire because it's made for chicken coops or for setting tile it's real
fragile but all your folks who say how come you don't use this we do use this we can use this
3.44 walls or we can use it for sealing let me show you right here this is what we use on this
ceiling this is a rib laughs that's a lot sturdier so it's not bouncing see this bouncy and that's
what this is 3.4 mesh no we don't use it for walls because we are in the San Francisco Bay Area it's
not code for walls but a lot of the people all over the country do use this wire here and you
can use it we're getting ready to take lunch here and Jay suggested well a lot of people calling me
asked me that same thing and how come you guys use that and not the mesh wire well the mesh wire you
can see it right here it has its this reason but you can also see this bowing as I'm plastering it
right here now granted we're kind of tired and waiting for that pizza to get here but to give
you an idea right now we're we're going about an inch and a half no big deal we are matching this
finish gel give you a closer view of that pretty quick because it's uh I knew as you all finished
what I do here guys is I'm just we're just doing a scratch coat by the way scratch coat is first coat
the second coat is brown called a brown coat is it the color brown no what do they call it or put
brown coat I've no clue why they call it a brown coat and I've been doing this like over 30 years
I'll show you one more things on okay so I would be laying on my back it what I generally do is
I'll put this on in this mesh you can kind of see it it's flimsy it's going in it's bending but if
I use regular wire such as I use in my videos it would it would be bowing right now be bowing and
it would be falling out last thing I'll show you is okay we got a soffit and this is uh this often
it's it's red laughs so what we want to do is what I've been doing here it attaches a lot easier and
here's a tip if you're gonna do a soffit use use a mix that's very rich instead of three two one
go to the one see that it's uh even this this bud here which is three to one it'll spread if
you know how to do it but it can drop out to the stick here it is the better it in here with this
rib laughs you always want to be looking into the V so when you attach that stuff make sure the V is
pointed toward you otherwise you'll be here all day I like your style the beats a guy that's a
dangerous haul right down man if you were to drop that your life would have been in danger anyway ah
