hi, guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering,
today we're gonna show you if we're going to do a scratch brown and color finish the reason
we're gonna do a color finish is this texture here this is a commercial piece of property and this
texture is done with a 20/30 la Habra base type of cement Isha's finish now they're gonna paint this
however I'm pretty good but I cannot get this consistency with any kind of Portland cement
or a hydraulic cement and what we've got here is some fancy fancy laughing the detail here is two
and a half inches thick right here so the corner aid here has to match everything has got to align
properly fellows who did this were top-of-the-line lathers never seen any better all right we did
it anyway we had a lot to a big challenge as they would say to get this two and a half inches thick
make this come out two and a half inches thick and make it we're seven eight hour surround Jay
trim or stucco stop match these corner what I'm gonna do is I'll let's just show you now I got
some mud that we have got no retardants in and we are going super thick here so what does that mean
that means it's gonna have a tendency to want to fall because typical mud is not made to go that
thick this is an easy part to my left let me show you the difficult part to my right here because
that requires a lot of stucco that's what I say it it's difficult because it's so thick anyway our
job today is we are going to scratch and brown this see where it got a big hole there this is
what I would do because it doesn't want it here and we have a actually a bonding agent in there
too we put a lot in there and we get it to attach to the to the actual sides of this stucco right
here we use it when we were here to laugh that we took a water hose and we wash all the dirt dust
off of that way it will allow it to adhere anyway we are going to Jay's gonna put the camera
down and we're going to completely scratch and brown this project say like right here two guys
we are two and a half inches with this corner to match this you know because this dictates where
we have to go so Jay and I are gonna both apply this and after we apply it we're gonna float it
all out I'll show you what that means when we get to that stage then we're gonna since we're at a
shopping center and there's a pizza place close by we're gonna go have some pizza come back in
about an hour and this particular product here you hose it down you hydrate it you missed it
so as it cures because it's so thick it won't cure too fast and that'll avoid some hairline
cracking but when we get to that stage we'll show you because the material we are working
with is setter it's gonna set in 15 to 25 minutes so we don't have time to film everything anyway
when we get to the stage where we're floating it will show you and we'll show you spreading it out
with the La Habra finish in order to match that texture all right guys we got the bulk of what
we wanted on done notice making corners here we fill it up here pull it this way fill it up here
right that way and then I'm gonna fill this up in a minute we are two and a half inches thick
here we're using a product that you could actually go six inches thick coat after coat after coat no
such thing as one fat coat with no product okay because we're so thick here now I'm gonna try to
hit this word don't drop out on this okay this is just called rotting rotting true and plumb
I'm using this stucco stop right here hold on a sec before you open that door one second buddy
we're using the sucker stuff you keep playing with it, we'll all fall out and it's here grab a
doorbell we will push it down at first then we'll pull it up and then we just drop it downtown like
that over here same exact thing we are getting our sides to guys like so we're taking the other side
exact same way we take it pull it up get our side chewin plumb this guy here might need a little bit
more mud but there's the idea guy you take it and we go up this is called rod in it making it shoe
and plumb take it here a lot of pressure now if it starts to fall out shed a little bit but
that's what we got here and then again our corner we just take it boom here right there and now what
we're going to do is let this set this piece here I'm gonna hold this right here and I'm gonna fill
this in because again this is some really hot mud I don't advise you guys to try doing this because
it's not a one-man job but for the sake of showing off I'll see what I can do with it okay take it
put your foot here hold it fish it in fish it in get your corners best you can pull some of
that mud off the ground if you need it fish it in oh heck one more one more hard fall and guys
you can drop it on the ground it doesn't matter because that's where I'm gonna use it Sigma square
cha no flexibility in that let me take it now we're going to pull it up to create this corner
easy to do corners if you had a lot of experience with him although we had a flashing detail that
was somewhat close it wasn't perfect no fault of the manufacturer just the wall the walls were out
of plumb nothing we can't handle that's we do that put upward that's going to give us a true
corner to work with and then I'm gonna do the same here but anyhow I thought I'd show one last piece
before we come back and start floating this and do the finish coat over it ok guys what I'm doing
now is I'm floating out my joints and somebody might say hey Kirk since you're floating it and
bringing the aggregate or the sand out can't you match that finish I can come close but I
can't match it when it's painted it will sure show the difference of the aggregate this sand
that I'm using is this Belton or plaster sand it will show the difference guys and so what I do is
we put this here in this particular product we're about to go for lunch it's supposed to hydrate it
you just missed it but I'm using a green sponge float with water and the green sponge float with
water actually mists it for me last thing I got a big kick out of the contract this hey
Kirk well that tape remove some of the paint and I thought man I'm no engineer this red tape is
designed to last thirty days without leaving a residue does it my ass ten days max in the Sun
it'll still leave a residue but depending on how long ago they painted this door and the quality of
it I should be able to pull this I do have blue which I used here but guess what blue and water
don't work the blue tape keeps coming off and will continue to come home I'm just kind of humored to
follow myself because blue tape will always come off so it's worse it's better to peel a little
paint then to put the blue tape and have it just come off and put the stucco on the surface so what
we're gonna do again is we're almost I got about another hock fool to put on here we're gonna go
ahead and take luncheon when we come back I'll show you how we apply this 20:30 finish to get
the perfect texture match all right guys we're gonna put a conclusion on that notice that's a
color coat finishing color coats come in Santa Barbara which is like 30 30 cm really very fine
this is a twenty thirty medium base or sixteen twenty three separate bags hundred ninety four
pound bag this particular material you actually hydrated and water just kind of sheds right off
after you apply it you just missed it down or you could float it like we did and then I hard rubber
floated it because if I use the sponge float it brings out too much sand and then it mixes with
the sanno above to you how do you know when it's finished that's an hour ago our go hard in this
particular material and in two to three hours it reaches almost the same strength as Portland
cement does in like 30 day time it's a very very strong cement and what we're doing here guys is
we apply the finish coat now don't worry about burying your joints your expansions come back
back just for the sake of explanation here cover it up cover and you you got stuff like this just
cover it all up here cover you can clean up with your float I'm going to take it right down to here
and show you what I'm talking about as far as the texture now me this is the way I would do it there
are some guys who who could possibly match this texture if they spent a long time like my buddy
Fred Smith Danny Smith plastering he is a master he's a master at this stuff but I kind of like to
do it this way it's faster it's right on the money okay you take yourself a sponge pilote brand new
one hey where the odds all right now all you want to do is match this finish here with the right the
right sand piece of cake or just take it right to the door here cut it down splatter it here where
this doorbell is just disregard in just regard to the doorbell and let's see lift it up at first go
down and then cover it back up the Bell's gonna cover a whole half in there you get to the part
right here fill it up what all Jenny when you do is fill it up because it doesn't matter you
could take your trowel I mean whether or not using a square jaw round Chow margin pointer
you just do like this and cover your edges too guys all right now you take a your trial use
the heel of it and cut that back out b2k anyway we're gonna finish up here thought I'd point out
this particular material on how you can do three coats in a day if you know what you're doing if
you don't don't even buy this material and try to do this it's taken me years to learn how to
do all this stuff anyway my name is Kirk Jason on the camera as usual we thank you for watching and
