Hello folks, Kirk and Jason are here with Kirk Giordano plastering, I'm going to show you guys today is
how many plaster around these round aluminum vents these guys really aren't made for stucco they're
like 50 cents at Home Depot or so but they're made for wood they don't have any flange here
you draw your exact hole and you put them in wood and they go flush for stucco I just I mean I've
gone over these about 50 times so hopefully that's the last time I go over them but when we're doing
it out of stucco it becomes a drag because these are so fragile the Lulla it is so fragile it's
like an egg these thing you just barely touch them and they're broke anyhow so we got about
20 of these I guess the engineer figured out the math as far as how much to get air in here what
what we're gonna do is I stuck them in there and then I had to use a caulking that would not only
bond this metal to the paper but seal them anyhow these are made for wood guys but I get a lot of
that stuff what I'm gonna really show you is how we get around them of course I got all the vents
here I marked them because once I plaster all this I'm not gonna see them but I'll know where they
are okay guys I'm not showing you how to apply stucco on this particular video I'm just showing
you how to get in here and float all this this is a float finish meaning we use a lot of water
in our flow okay first I was going between it but I couldn't get it underneath this gutter so
I put it in hard and forced it in there now what I do is I take the bucket and actually what I do
is I want it to go under this gutter here so I'm gonna dirty these vents once more that's okay we
you dirty them up this wall is it's just applied so now where do you get those guys I mean a lot
of times in this bucket I'm gonna give a lot of time so I'm gonna uncover each one okay there's
that one mark and granted I marked these guys for a real good reason I will lose them and just float
it out like so take me a little bit a little bit of time to find them and float float away from
them just like that so I'm gonna continue find in each one and floating away from it because I
want the mud to stay above it and not fall out and after I get each one I'll take the balance
another 15 minutes to go all the way through so what I'll do is I'll terminate it right here
and I'll give you an idea now you got to pull the gloves off and get this nasty stuff on you
and peel this stuff off and of course it's gonna be a little stuck a residue on every single Ben
not just one it does go behind this blue tape and if I use red tape the red tape will pull
the vents out of the hole even though I got them bonded in there with really good caulking so the
blue is what I use on here because I don't want it to stick too tight I've read again the vinyl tape
we use a lot of well just paint them right out it okay say for example now that that's done I
would take my water bucket now I need clean water at the very tip of this this float here gotta be
pretty clean so I'll take it this way and I'll take it that way now my float is somewhat dirty
so I got to dip it back in the water the whole thing is just repeated like this this way that
way give it back in the water because when I touch these vents dirties a float so if I go
back over the bed we're the dirty flood well then I'll have to clean it again comes down just push
it right back up just keep putting that float into the float bucket and go away from the vent
because again but I get mud on those vents it clogs those little bitty Lu blurs which
are fragile to begin with they're like very very fragile anyhow [ __ ] one last piece here and we
it like that then I'll take my float and get all those little float lines out and that's what it's
supposed to look like it's gonna take me another 15 minutes half hour to finish all these but
anyhow I want to show you how you stuck on over something very fragile like this again it's a
nothing paid for stucco but we've seen them about it in 30 years I've seen this about 20 times and
about 20 times I've done this again like I said I really hope really it's my last time doing this
anyhow my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk to dental plastering and by the way this again is a float
finish we just we did the scratch and we're just floating it right now and so we float this in
that cagey just means my youngest son Dan is not too busy my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano
plastering , thank you folks for watching and as usual, Jay and I'll see you at the next one
