howdy folks Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering we're gonna show you guys this how we
match this text coat finished today I'll show you what they started with the folks here had a kerb
and that kerb came out to here it went down they removed the kerb and fortunately the stucco was
still intact however it's full of moss dirt stains and stucco won't adhere to that so what we're
gonna do today is we're gonna pressure wash this well and get all this moss and dirt off and then
what we're gonna do is this is a text coat well the this the finish is called a sweep you sweep it
this is from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock it's a sweep finish its mighty simple looks difficult but it's
not what we're gonna do is we're gonna pressure wash this apply a bonding agent on this lower half
and then use a soupy cement tshis finish with a hand hopper and just spray this to get this
particular finish here it's not a big deal but there is a bit of prep work that is necessary in
order to do this so what we're going to do now is start one of these beasts up we have our pressure
washer here and put a quick tip or it's a turbo tip on that that way where we can get a wide angle
spray about 8 inches by 8 inches if we just put a little tip on it we could carve our name in this
rock we don't want to do that what we want to do is just remove the dirt dust moss and everything
and that way we can go ahead and spray our finish on here so when they paint this it'll have the
same text coat type finish so it won't be such an eyesore alright guys see that moss that green
moss right there that's what we want off now this particular tip I'm using the turbo tip we'll get
it off without destroying the wall I don't want to take the wall off or itch that brick all I want to
do is get the moss dirt dust and grime off of here that's beautiful just like that okay guys now that
we pressure-washed all that moss and death crap off what I'm doing is I'm spraying a bonding agent
on and these little ace all-purpose sprayers they do well you just put your bonding agent in there
and you spray it on there you don't have to brush but you can brush it too if you like just dip it
in here and this product here is weld creek now wall treat is generally my choice but for all
you folks who called me and say hey I'm going to Lowe's or Home Depot you guys can use this
the quick write is a great concrete boss bonding adhesive it's perfect the only thing is if say if
I'm you if I'm doing the job I don't mind using this it works well but when it dries you can't
see it and when it goes on you can't see it I like the Larson's because it's colored you folks to say
where the heck do you get this you have to really go to a material yard such as stucco or plastering
yards this you get at Lowe's of Home Depot so either one is good guys put it on full strength
because you want that next finish to it here and you can do this over brick block rock stone
concrete anything I'm going over this painted surface and actually the stucco will adhere
here but I really wanted to eat here because who comes off I got to come back okay guys this is
noisy messy built this goes all over the place and we're gonna see how it comes out here we go
I'm using a soupy mud the supermodel match that soupy
alright guys a couple more tips before I end this I don't get yelled at somebody say hey
you're doing a how-to video alright the pressure of this hose notice okay it's a stream here now
it opens up in a circle if any grit gets in here that I can't do what I'm about to do I want this
to expand here so I don't want to lock it in I'm gonna take that Center and I'm watching my center
of the water now what I do is I'll take it right here and I'll walk it along this way it gives me
the clean finish that I'm looking for and also loosens it up I don't want to concrete that in
there and then we just take it here and just keep going and clean it up it's getting hot so
you know hurry now I'll show you one more thing - guys if you use this whether or not to use it
inside or on the outside take the orifice off and depending on the size orphis here you get
big ones it'll spray stucco you can put a thin and you can get a light - but when you clean
this make sure you take some tire get your air stem clean this perfectly because the next time
you want to use it if you have any any sand in here what I'll do is it'll clog up either the
orifice there the air stem it won't spray or - when you tap it it'll this part will have the
cement fall inside of here and then when you go to use it you'll be struggling I've worked
with these for 30 years now guys and I'll tell you if it's not hosed out just right you will
lose an hour - on your next job when you try to use it always clean your tools very well
anyhow guys my name is Kirk Jason on the camera and as usual we'll see you guys on the next one
