Hello folks, Kirk and Jason Giordano here once more to show you how to do something pretty
interesting today what we're gonna do is we're gonna scratch we're gonna Brown to cult coats of
color now we're gonna put styrofoam on here all today what we're gonna do is we're gonna match
this styrofoam here and what the fella did is you took it off systematically because I told
her if you sacrifice one of your sawzall blades maybe 15 bucks just save yourself about 400 bucks
that's what it'll cost to duplicate these molds they're probably really worth about 40 bucks but
by the time you buy each one separately you're about 300 bucks in here yeah out about 8 hours
time so he destroyed the blade need salvage before us so first thing we're gonna do scratch a browser
I'll let that cure then I'm gonna come we're gonna put the mold after we do the mold then
we're gonna color it this is actually a two color or a to coat the process they get up a sponge
blood finish they floated it then they came back after it set and they put a texture on it really
interesting finish you got a lot of jump to it so that's where we're going with this one today
when we get to the stages I'll show you because it's kind of interesting when we put the molds
on and then the fella here we spoke it with fun he said can you do the color to us and there's no
way anybody can match the color within a color money just happen to have the color packs then
we're gonna do the best we can to try to blend in this color it's called Mahavir clay just to
see what we end up with i total no guarantees inside they're gonna be three shades darker or
three shades ladder if it matches exactly it's an accident anyhow we're gonna go ahead and get
started jason gonna mix me up and i'm gonna go ahead and put it on alright guys is a book to
comes up here normally I don't have to scratch this one I don't have to put your scratch marks
in it what I've got as he finishes a mix oh and then I'll keep busy while he's next to me as he's
mixing I went ahead and hardware loaded that and we have two cups in five minutes this is
like mix all inside six long extension about ten minutes disgusting about ten difference of hiring
a fella who knows what he's doing five trips for this I'm gonna do it all one hi guys - guys if
you think hey let's save some money this guy is unlike or a guy who's got to make a whole bunch
of trips we do it all one time sacrificing the integrity of the work all right guys our base
coat to cure before we put the molds on right now I'm gonna mix the color so what you have to do to
start is you get your wall nice and wet because our mix right here is full of water so I have
my bag of color this is clay and so I'm gonna slowly add this to our color coat mix until I
get the right color now this takes quite a bit of time to get right lots of little mixes and
and while he's mixing that we're gonna end up with that dark color right there and I'm
waiting for that window I have about another 20 minutes possibly and then we're gonna go ahead
and and hear that mold on it okay guys I've got about four tubes of Sikaflex polyurethane
caulking it's a real good adhesive I could use poly bond for this also but like the
Kohala Sikaflex talking better and now what I'm doing is putting at least a few nails in
here to hold it and chill them the Sikaflex really dries and in the meantime this joint
I have up here this is hard yeah I can't stick my fingers through this this is pretty hard so
I'm gonna float this a little bit with water and get that joint real tight then I'm gonna come
back and I'm gonna apply the color coat over here but before I apply that I got to wet the
wall because if you apply a color coat and try to match your finish while it's dry say my new
wet one into a dry one it's a nightmare it just would be five to ten shades lighter or darker
wouldn't work so I'm gonna wet the whole thing I don't really want to let the whole thing with
with it when I have no choice in order to get the color to match right on we'll get a little
water coming down here no big deal alright guys I've lit the walls now that everything is dry
anybody watch me do this little of water to it than just what I don't you seeing Nathan
mixing for eight years then plaster it I've been doing it for 30 you have to know how much to me
how much the accelerators retardants things like that cleaning to make you have to know how much
cement you have to know how much time to do the next coat let it set it up to the first
one there's so much involved in how to recommend you guys do this besides this color it's gonna
be close but it's simply not gonna no way could match it that it's gonna be three or four shades
off and we just decided to do the color a little while ago because he had the culture but when
you're doing a color coat when you're doing a patch like this you generally do the pattern
then you allow that to cure 30 30 days plenty of days technically then you come and read the
entire wall or you paint it so I'll show it to you will give them of everything I still have
the texture to go but what I'm doing now is I'm sponge floating it because fellows who did this
color coat actually did a really nice job they they spread it then they floated it then they
tension it so that's what I'm doing right now I'm bringing the aggregate out I doubt you can
see it from the camera there but it's a heavy float finished prior to the texture it's kind
of like Oh 80 grit sandpaper real heavy that's what we're doing now okay guys about done sun's
down so our cameras gonna die out in a minute with no lighting what I'm showing you now is
just this detection that part of its done here I still got just that side here but you get the
idea and when this dries again it is not gonna be perfect match in color the idea is put it all back
together and when it dries paint it but we're gonna see just how close it gets into the side
yard he's not too concerned with it anyhow this is three cups same day plus the balls don't try that
at home unless you know what you're doing righto we've got the ball my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk
giordano plastering thank you folks for watching as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
