howdy guys kirk and Jay here with Kurt Giordano plastering today I want to show you guys how
to do this tunnel - finish what's the tunnel - finished very heavy thrown on or blown on finish
if you stand to the side for just a sec Jay Sean thick this finish it I mean this finish is crazy
thick in fact they asked me can you match this and I thought I did it 12 years ago on the same
house anyway I'm going to show you guys you got to mix up some mud guys now those particular mud here
it's just regular mud guys look but what we do is we add some water I'm gonna give you a couple tips
to guys because this particular finish you need to know exactly how to do it now watch watch how I'm
do it and I'm using this the big part of the brush I'm not using it at an angle or this little side
sometimes I do but right now I'm either using the whole flat side just like that boom you throw it
whoa okay you submerge the brush and this is dirty work guys you're just back and forth now buddy you
guys I got some other - videos Jay and I and in that I'm using a different semantics with this
particular finish I'm using a cement with fibers in it can you see those fibers absolutely not
you can't see them back when they first started putting fibers in it they're real heavy real big
ones if I were doing this 30 years ago you'd see the fibers but the cement I'm using you can't see
him why did I decide to use a cement with fibers that you can't see because this particular finish
is it needs to be stiff so as I'm throwing it on here if it's too runny I'm gonna fall down
if it's too thick it'll make big clumps you got to be just like in the three bears yes right and
fortunately Jason's also an applicator so he knows how to mix this so what we're doing is now notice
I'm going straight like this guy and just fill it up there are a lot of houses with this heavy
tunnel - finished specially in Berkeley Oakland Alameda Gold Coast it's a popular texture of many
years ago somebody said hey I got no idea let's create a finish that's so incredibly messy and
they did and this is it this one we got to cover everything I know you guys that they can oh my
god he's getting stuck on his Santa hat not quite anyway here we go this is a nasty finish guys and
if it gets too stiff here's it there's a tip okay this brush is starting to weigh like ten pounds 15
pounds sometimes when the brush gets too heavy cleaning it off with water ah now that's that's
like 10 pounds will kick your butt especially if you're doing this all day at the end of the
day your arm is like spaghetti okay we're back to it throwing it on there throwing it on there and
the mud is is the most important thing on this video guy if the mud is too soupy is just gonna
fall off if it's too heavy it's not gonna create the finish that they have that's this particular
finish - guys has so much covering but it has to be done anyway another couple dips and we we got
it okay and if you if you look on the side on a side view that's actually it's gonna match and
do it if you got light you got variations where this is hollow you could actually straighten it
out with this if you got a good eye and you know what you're doing in your mutters just right so
I'm looking at it thinking gee right there is a hollow spot there's a hollow spot from
the wall itself that's no big deal and that is a heavy throne on - or a tunnel - can you do this
with a hand hopper I know somebody's gonna say hey I got a hand hopper can I do it absolutely
but you have to take the orifice off because it won't allow this heavy heavy finish and then well
the last thing guys I'll show what's more and work so if you guys never gonna do this we're glad you
get it bounces everywhere you get to be a dirty wreck and then it goes in your eyeball that's
not any fun one thing to make your clothes jacked up another thing to get it in your eyes all right
you see how that's done guys and notice I'm using the flat part anytime you see an area that needs
a little bit more just give it a little bit more and once you're done there I don't have to tell
you guys this but clean it up clean it up and make it look pretty anyway it's at the end of
the job I see you over there thinking come on man let's get over here start to chuck Jenna I would
