hello guys kirk and Jason with Kirk Giordano plastering today I want to answer question
that I get asked often almost as much as cracking stucco and that is how come my stucco or plaster
won't adhere to the walls like the way you make it adhere well number one guys I buy a
deep furred wire what does that mean that means this wire is got a deeper fur and it'll sell
this wire at most material yards in fact my own material yard doesn't sell it I had to call my
buddy Matt Rogers and Rogers works for used to be Bank Great Western Bank building materials
I knew it was sounded like a bank but now they're called foundation building materials that's Oh Oh
Matt works with that and so Matt deliver had this delivered to my house because I can save money and
time and pass it on you guys if I have all this stuff and this is 17 gauge wire what does that
mean that means it's galvanized which galvanized me I'll tell you a little story when I was fifteen
I used to work at a plating company that means they had all these volts of acid and we would
chrome plate different materials all I remember back then is we took the steel like this steel or
carbon steel and you put it in volts of say zinc and you leave it in there for a short time and
what it does is it galvanizes these so that they don't rust of course if you pull a trial on this
or on a corner it's going to remove that zinc coating or galvanized coating and it can rust
what I do remember back when I was 15 working at this place is all those youngsters had spots all
over us because it was about 120 degrees in there so we would take our shirts off and the metal was
so heavy we put it into volts and it would splash all over us so if I'm wrong about any of the zinc
or all that stuff that's not what this video is really about what I'm going to do is Jason and I
are going to set up a work bench in the back here and show you why the stucco will adhere better to
this then my normal wire so I'll put flat wire my normal wire and then I'll put this deep for
and show you why and it here's better by showing you the actual wire on and showing you how far it
it comes out from the actual wood paneling and of course guys it does matter when you guys say
hey Kirk you make it look easy that's because either J or loo will mix and these guys are
professional in fact Jays a licensed plastering contractor tooth and they can mix it rich for me
if I need it rich sometimes we do anyhow when I get to that stage where we set up the back
I'll show you what I'm referring to all right guys finish this off we're in my backyard this
and went ahead and stapled this off for you guys what we have here he over stapled this because a
lot of jobs we go to contractors and homeowners they over staple it this is just normal stapled
like it should be this is normal stapled like it should be this is normal suffered wire you
get Home Depot Lowe's or any of the material yards this next kept a special order I put this
one here and over stapled it to prove a point guys sometimes if you have a wall that's over
stapled whether or not and you just you don't want to tear your wire off just pull it out a
little bit you can create a fir you can just go like so and create a fir but I tell people that
often when I look at their work and I go man you stapled the piss out of it didn't you anyway you
can do that too guys but now to prove a point when you guys say Kirk you put it on it always
sticks you make it look easy that depends on the mixers now J mix me up somebody three kinds of
mud there's soupy mud there's normal mud then there's really stiff mud depending on what I
got here is how improvise with this in I have a tendency guys depending on the wire if there's if
they got suffered nails in it I'll improvise I'll push harder I'll pull less and that stuff I can't
really show you but I can tell you right now I'm using a mud that's uh it's it's a perfect mud for
scratching so okay let's let's do this again now with flat wire like this there's one coat now if
I put another coat technically it's supposed to fall off technically because this wire is
flat but again I'm improvising I see it and my natural ability wants me to push here and push
here so it doesn't have a chance to fall it's hard to just do it to prove a point well this
will come off right here all right I'm going to go here this is a normal normal fur now I
made this work and if I wasn't trying to prove a point I would push this in here here here so
it can't come off but I don't want to do that because the idea is to show you that the wire
does make a huge difference and two guys the applicator and the mud see see that'll that'll
hold that's thicker than this here this is going to come down soon I can tell already what let's
go to the deeper furred one now deeper furred and this is sort of like having furry nails the
furry nails pushes it away from the wall about a quarter-inch that way it's embedded now this
one I can put a lot thicker because the wire is it come out about Oh almost a half inch see
that's got almost two inches on it right now see how much more it will take that's about
three inches now this one here just to prove a point since since I'm killing time and having
fun this is flat wire now normally if I wanted to adhere I'd push here push here there there
but let's see that's already got an inch and a half see how much more well that's the point I
was trying to make guys you don't want it too flat otherwise you'll be working a whole wall all of a
sudden you'll hear it'll fall right behind you going down and you'll see all of this happening
all over the place I've done houses where I have some guys and they're putting it on and you can
hear it falling all over the house it's like dude you're putting it on way too thick or what more
important thing I'm trying to make is the wires too flat anyway we're about three inches here
the point has been made if the wire is too flat it's going to come off doesn't matter what kind
of cement you use you put fibers in it or you mix it too stiff this is for what Jay and I do a lot
of patchwork because it will adhere longer and does it matter for this little stuff not really
but when you're doing a whole house and you're you're putting tons on at a time last thing you
want to hear is stucco fallin behind you and I've heard that sound many many times so I thought I'd
make it a point to show this deep furred wire anyway I hope that proved a point and if the
wire is too tight guys like I say take a hammer take pliers and pull it away pull it away that's
that's when you come to somebody's wall and they staple the mess out of it so anyway my
