kirk giordano here with, Kirk Giordano plastering, my son Jason giordano who does the videoing um
i'm going to show you today how to put this back together first of all what we're going to do is
look like somebody jumped the curve a little too much to drink and crush this wall i'm outlining it
in blue where this studs are so i can get an idea of where to break out i'm going to saw cut this
then i'm going to take my hammer drill and break out the paper and wire to expose it so
i can tie the paper wire back together i'm going to put a few more studs in there these guys here
pretty shot so i'm going to put four new studs in there every 16 inches then i'm going to start
tying all the paper and wire together do the two coats and match this you will see it as we do it
okay what we have here is i've added five new studs mud seal wasn't damaged the piece under here
wasn't damaged so i sistered in a couple here here screwed it in and that gives me something solid so
i can put my paper wire now the next phase is i'm going to put my two layers of paper on top of this
bath foundation because water goes through the stucco our paper will go underneath this deck so
when this gets saturated the water will hit this paper bar on top of ours drip out harmlessly on
the foundation instead of this wire here because this is studs i'm going to use a mesh mesh is more
rigid so i won't waste so much stucco behind on my scratch coat otherwise if i use this wire here
when i'm applying the scratch coat i'll lose about a job this size about three buckets here
okay, we've already laughed it i used a 3.4 wire mesh because it's more rigid than the 17 gauge i
end up using a lot of mud between the studs; I've applied weld creed over this guy here because
when i stuck away, this is still a little concave about a quarter inch but when i
when i'm done i want it true and flush in all directions okay finishing up the second coat
This is what a lot of people need to understand.
This got to be true and plumb in all directions. It can't be hollow, or it can't be sticking out;
otherwise, you end up calling me back. You won't learn anything here, so you take this
darby or straight edge, and you take it out of a slam. You just go around and what you're doing
is you're rotting it, you're making it through it plumb in all directions, so that comes here.
okay now put
What i'm going to do now is dash it. It's called dash like the old dash of salt the
early 1900s that's where they got it eight-inch bristles you put
soupy mud and you just kind of flick it just uses your wrist
flick it on there see it this is what we call a dash to finish everybody thinks it's difficult.
you guys these difficult finish when people call me and say, hey,
it's a really, really difficult finish i don't even want to try
I'll show you the technique, so you don't have to hire a guy like this.
okay, one more time
Just like that, that's what's called a dash pin, and when i'm done, and they paint this,
it'll blend in and match it doesn't match. So you're not going to hire me again.
Well, thank you for watching this video. Thank you again, jason, for taking this,
my son, and all you guys who have tips. Call me if you're trying to do this.
