Hello folks, kirk and jason here with kirk giordano Plastering,
what I'm doing this very simple stuff practical this is practically something in or explain why
in a minute I'll show you all around okay slumping in and we got hair lines right
there these guys they're just regular stress cracks are common now this one is buckling
like this what we're gonna do is we're gonna scrape this off, and more than likely what I'm
gonna find here is we have a crack now that crack should have had some polyurethane and caulking,
and you wipe it in there like so and put a proper finish this right here where we have
it somewhat being up this finish is failing so it's a wrong finish over the original stuff,
and I'll show you let's get it off there okay yeah they went to great lengths and put
fiber mesh tape that's a heck of a crack so now that's a huge crack, and this is a stress crack
the paper is intact so we're going to fill this with Sikaflex polyurethane talking apply a primer
over to here a bonding agent then we're going to put the real material in there that should last
a lot longer than this stuff here and it's only gonna last as long as the prep work so that is
a mighty large crack anyway that's what we're doing today so you'll see it as we get to the
next stage okay guys I found the worst crack on the whole house and in order fixed it up I mean
to start by explaining why it happened okay this chimney probably 10 tons of brick and stucco it's
sinking so it's sinking and as it's sinking its place an incredible structural stress on this
particular point right here so that's why we have this huge crack here and the last fellows
that fixed it they did a pretty good job but what they used is a fiber mesh tape you can't really
use a fiber mesh tape on the - finish you can use fiber mesh tape for sheetrock between the
joints and cover it or you can use fiber mesh tape on a brown coat and cover it but on this
what tends happen is air gets underneath and so air got underneath and they're finished basically
splitting so what we're gonna do is we're gonna fill this up I'm probably gonna use a tube of
this Sikaflex polyurethane caulking and then very little time okay we're gonna put weld cream
right over your weld Crete as a bonding then I'm going to put on a rapid set stucco over this and
feather it into here to here those medically it's going to be nice will it wreak rack yes
it will because when this 10-ton chimney keeps slide down winter after winter it's still gonna
put that same stress on this the only way to really correct this properly would be to take
all the stuff off and redo it through my own home do that anyhow I'll show you when we finally get
complete I'm gonna fill this up with a ton of this Sikaflex because the paper is intact in
here however I want to give this a little bit of give meaning if I just put stucco in here when
it does move it'll just crack that stuff up I'm giving it a somewhat about new expansion that's
why I'm using this sick of place okay guys I'm gonna put some rapidset on here and the
wrapper said just tries to put dries much faster than the Portland cement so that's why I'm using
it a little stronger true but we don't really need strength here okay gathering all this guy
Take a green sponge here buddy from Tucson Arizona Jan said plenty of color green sponge floats and
what's the difference between a brown coat why do you call it that it what about the red tape
green sponge bugs just the color become green so we use them as far as the red tape on the windows
you can put it on the vinyl and it won't leave a residue when you peel that off and also the brown
when we do is scratching a brown on the house the brown coat just means a second coat that's all
just they call it a brown coat anyway I Jen and I would explain their life because he said I've got
a lot of people how then that question so those of you who hang out that question even though
this video is not about that gives me something to talk about while I'm messin around here anyway
this is what we're doing here now this texture I'm feathering it into there - finish I'm feathering
it in while it's wet because this is a dash of thrown on finished and if I hit this wallace wet
it's going to appear very heavy just like this by let it dry that it smoothes it out a lot and
we lose all the exams are aggregates so there you have it just like that and I'm gonna spend
a couple more seconds here and maybe just pretty the camera probably showing it pretty right now
but it's it's not there yet anyway that's that's how I would do it if it's my own house I'm sure
those other people have a hundred different opinions of how to do this my name is Kirk
I'm with Kirk giordano plastering, we thank you folks for watching and we'll see on the next one.
