hi guys Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering I've got a question for you guys
Jane I've done about 500 videos now can anybody tell me sitting at your computer what kind of
finish this is can you zoom in Jay now forget about all these insulation holes anybody know
any plasters out there so I know what that is what they had here originally was a color coat finish
and this is a fellas attempt at catface finished Montalvo I believe it's California where you put
you put one color coat on eighth of an inch thick then you come back and you miss a few
areas that's called Montalvo finish or catfish in the plastering industry the only the only problem
was you kind of botched this one up no wall is the same so what we're doing is we're doing some
tying around here and of course we're going to come back with a maintenance-free finish and put
another color coat over the entire home because these insulation holes will show when you paint
this so we decided we're gonna do the the color coat to correct everything what I'm doing here
you see this finish now this is this every wall is different I'll show you some technique this
wall here he's got a few little finishes here now do I need to do two separate finishes to
match this no it's a quarter inch thick finish here plus the inch he has on the house already
I've already done that area over there what I'll do generally is I'll look at it okay I'll skip
it because this again technically I don't even have to do this finish because we're gonna coat
the entire house but I like to give it a similar finish until we get ready to coat the whole house
here's what I'll do guys I'll come and we'll just do a little bit here and there yeah a whole we'll
just patch that right up okay we'll do a little bit here a little bit there and we'll knock it
down see he's got a lot of areas that are flat that's what we're gonna do he's only got a few
here on the other wall it's completely skipped out but he's got more pattern here so you just knock
it down we give a little texture not much go just a little bit here and there and that's it we try
to match exactly what he has here so when I come to do my color finish it'll blend in if I didn't
do a texture here when I do my color you it might Telegraph through I'll show a little bit more on
another side guys okay guys I should a different side it's a little bit different take a little
bit of this mud doesn't matter if it's soupy or stiff I could still match it alright end of the
day guys almost dark so we're hustling now over here the fella did you can see Rowe in here now
this finish is totally different from the other side why I won't get into detail but he just the
Sun and the suction was different for him so here it's more of a skip child I've skipped it
right here and left it by the way guys you know what these are looks like concrete huh it's not
styrofoam anyhow I'll show you what we're doing here on this wall every wall is different and
usually when we come to a job well match every every wall differently even if we're gonna call
our coat over the entire thing here instead of hit and miss I just hit the whole thing hit the
whole thing pretty common skip child finish here I pulled a little rock here no big deal little
rocks in the mix guys get used to that whatever is in the material yard sometimes they give a
stand and in that sand is all kind of stuff catch it you name it anyway there it is guys just give
it a skip and yes I can skip it with color cuffs I can skip it with concrete I can skip it with this
Portland doesn't matter and on this particular wall here guys we are inch and a half almost an
inch and a half they did some bizarre stuff so what we're doing is just matching that see how
that's done guys and yes for the fellas who called me just the other week and said man can you do a
texture with just your Portland cement yes you can do a texture with just Portland cement you don't
need to color code it in order to do a texture guys it's like that anyhow I thought I'd point
out because we're looking at this finished in everybody here thing how come all the finishes
don't match well that's the applicators fault who did this the second time around sometimes
they get carried away anyway guys wanted to show you this cat face finish and show you
the different techniques on matching it with just raw chuckle my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano
plastering we thank you guys for watching and as usual we'll see you on the next one
you
