Hi Folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering, and working with my son Jason's
who's also a licensed plastering contractor, and Tim see him in a lot of my videos too he's
a licensed plastering contractor we're going to do we're going to show you how we color coat
this cinderblock wall now I got two guys Tim has started here, and Jay is going to take it,
so we don't get a joint now I'm going to step back out Tim is going to continue
spreading these radiuses you got to know what you're doing to sprout them guys all right so
what they'll do is let's start your radius get some of the water out of my float the hot day a
hot day guys, and sometimes when it's a hot day like this, it's best to have a couple guys,
so we don't get any joint yep this is called a float finish because I'm using a float to give
it the right finish go ahead plug that whole top Tim, please hit the whole time just get it out of
there yeah there you go get that whole top out of the way so that as I'm showing the tops done so,
we're not going to be in each other's way cool beam beautiful beautiful beautiful you're the
man okay now no okay Tim pew want to get started back here I'm only we're going a little bit out
of sync here because the cameras showing and we want to show you guys exactly what we're
doing without being in our own way after a couple hundred videos I've learned that already all right
now Tim is applying the base coat now what I'm going to do with this is float it up that just
means bringing the aggregate out the finish we're doing here is a BMI product it's a color code
they're actually going to put a cap on on this top stone cap but I'm getting the top anyway
because I want to square it off a little bit more for our finish and for when the fella
comes to do his stone Finn stone cap so what I what I'm going to do here is I bring it up
I bring this up and there's a lot of kind of float finish this guy's the finish we're doing
right now we're matching a shopping center so that particular finish on the shopping center
is called a heavy load finish what does a heavy load finish mean well that means we use 16 2016
20 sand as the heaviest sand there is they have Santa Barbara which is the smoothest
they also have 2030 which is like hundred grit sand paper we're giving them exactly what they
want they showed us to build in and it said Jake it Kirk can you match this and of course we said
absolutely so Tim spreads in here Jay spreads there that way we don't get a joint and all I
do now and this takes a little bit of practice as I bring out the aggregate I bring out the stand
here and because it's a hot day I like to work at least behind two guys give me something to do
here I'm getting the point out
the heart of the day, the more the hustling I'm going to go on the
other side where J is you cross over you alright
easy nothing to it just takes a little practice, and again guys,
this is going to get a cap on it to get right by here, okay oh you might as well since I'm
waiting for okay coming back at you, Tim coming back at you beautiful, beautiful
okay
beautiful got it to come around to match you always float into your finish guys I'm
floating into my own if I take it right here and pull in if I take the existing into the new that
can make a holiday or not a holiday, but it will have a ghosting effect where the color
won't be as pretty and uniform, so we just take it just like that Tim has been plastering just
as long as I have it is just as good as me, so we're on the right track of getting this
thing done beautiful Tim oh you're spoiling me Mannion you're not giving me anything to
do all right I take it I come I'm taking a new work going into my existing finish and
elegant floats finish guys that's what this is Marty elegant it goes with everything
custom homes were we're doing commercial property here, but it goes with everything
when we got done with your complete project we'll walk you around it and show it to you because it's
kind of cool because there's an inner and outer radius the cinderblock here's the outer radius
and then the inner radius is here you got to know what you're doing if you're going to spread this
let alone float it unfortunately the guys who did the skim coat man they were the best there is that
was us too okay guys let me show you something only because the owner was here who owns the
entire shopping center he said Kirk what color are you using and I said well I I'll repeat to
you folks what I've said to him I said three days ago I came here I checked omega western la habra
and i ended up with the BMI color chart and what I did is I put it up to here and I popped a little
sample off and I determined that the closest color was straw yellow to here so I told him I
said well the color we're putting on is going to be lighter than what you have here even if
it is the right color which I don't know if it's the right color or wood we did the best we can
with matching up a finish that say a few years old to the present finish I said it's either they're
going to be a tint lighter or tint darker but I think it's going to be a tint lighter as long as
I've been doing these colors for 30 years so it amazed me for him to say gee it was a BMI color
that we used speaking of BMI howdy Geri Posey Geri Posey is the head coordinator for BMI he is the
head honcho for those folks anyway I'll take you back here and I'll show you what we've done I've
got my buddy Tim he's cleaning up on this other side now this is called again a heavy elegant
floats finish because I say elegant because it goes for a lot of commercial properties mainly
and I do it a lot on my residential properties because it goes with everything guy you'll see
what we did here we've got it here and we got it around here I will show the rear here too
because I'll just leave it at that piece right here it's interesting when you do these color
coats over radiuses if the radiuses aren't just right you'll see a lot of Humpty Dumpty's and
stuff but anyhow we think we did a pretty good job here my name is Kirk Jason on the camera,
and he helped me spread this of course we also had a fella a friend of ours Tim's helped us
too we thank you folks for watching and as usual guys we'll see you guys on the next one.
