Hello folks, Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today I had the opportunity to explain
and I get asked this question a lot online and by the telephone what's the difference of cost
and performance between an acrylic color finish and a cement Tisha's color finish big difference
okay we just happen to be using an acrylic color coat today for this big two-story house that we're
doing it's the final process I'll give you an example guys okay now a cement tshis color finish
say whether or not it's La Habra Western Omega and there's about 20 other ones are the cement
tshis finishes are much cheaper say for example this particular product here is about anywhere
between 50 to 70 bucks a pail depending on who you buy and what what material if you buy the
cement tshis they come in hundred ninety four pound sacks and they're between fourteen to
sixteen dollars a bag you spread the same amount so cement issus products happen to be somewhat
like Jays cracker that he has for lunch when it moves or vibrates in a but it'll go a little bit
but too much and it hairlines cracked because the base coat hairlines cracks these particular
finishes the acrylic ones such as I mean I'm using BMI but there are 20 different brands you can they
have the ability to go on and they're flexible so when the house moves due to three months of rain
which lifts it and settles it or just general banging on the house doors and windows slamming
this flexes with it but again you're going to pay four times more for the material and it's
much harder for us with the cement tshis finishes over a base coat we just host or hydrate the walls
and apply it with this particular product you should use a primer most companies don't but
a primer stops it from say absorbing too fast in the wall and if you have a two-story wall wall I
the one we have here were a lot less likely to get scaffold joints that's why we apply
the primer number one but it also is part of the warranty and it gives you better color coverage
your other finishes I don't know if Jay could zoom in a little bit you have I mean there's 20
different finishes just to prove a point this is a fine finish it's twenty thirty which it spreads a
lot further we get about 18 yards when we spread this whole yards this particular finish here is
heavier which is the standard we don't get a wider spread or as many yards per bucket but I like this
one better it's it looks nicer okay since I showed you the so called cement tshis finish where it'll
move but it will hairline I'll show you the this particular product now this one Wow it shows you
how cold it is out here anyway this one flexes right now if you can see my breath that's pretty
darn cold it's about 40 anyway this one uh wow that is cold anyway it can flex a lot more so
that's the difference guys so there's a difference of cost and performance a lot of people say well
gee how much more so hopefully this video will explain the difference in the added cost and why
it is a better product but again folks it will cost you a lot more and if I'm spreading it I'm
taking the dirtiest pants I have and I'm going to take the dirtiest shirt because this stuff
when it gets on you it sticks to everything and by the way these are the packets that get mixed
in to get the desired color anyway guys hope that explains it a little bit okay guys I'll
show you the final result of our color coat this is very detailed very cut up but a lot of fun we
had a great time applying this it's a fine flowed finish one of the most difficult finishes you can
do on a house I'll show you this then I'll show you this last wall here it's not about really
trying to show the whole job but you get an idea they finally remove the scaffold it's been raining
for the last five days and it's drizzling on us right now but I thought I'd show you some of the
results this is a fine float acrylic finish different from a cement Isha's finish if the
wall moves this has a tendency to move with it and flex anyhow if you have any questions about
what I've been pointing out as far as a cement ish 'us versus the acrylic finishes feel free
