Hi guys, Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, here, my friend helping me, as usual, is Jason,
today what I matched folks is how we go over this about a hundred insulation holes on this
house and what would you what we're doing first of all is a lot of a lot of it depends on the texture
number one and then what these fellows did number two okay the texture here is a 20 30 grit which
means now my grit or mice and aggregate with fancy name whatever you want to call it it's got to be
lighter than this because when you paint something six to eight times you soften it so what I'm using
a Santa Barbara smooth mission finish grit in order to match this 2030 texture by just 20 30
they'll be too heavy now this fellas did a pretty good job when they did this they just put it on it
and they put them out in there scraped it off like this I can tell they did that because everything
is true and plum that's pretty rare most of the patches we do are hollowed out because the stucco
shrinks in there anyway all we need to do this is a cement ish asst finish right here painted finish
here cement Tisha's cement Tisha's will adhere to cement Tisha's by suction suck right in there
anyway but what I'm going to do here is and again I have to look at a patch in order to see the best
way to do it since this is true and plum all I do is I put a little little nasty piece right here
just a couple little blobs that's all it takes and of course i'm using my square child for this
and what I do my ideas are and I've done a few few thousand of these guys is just fill the cement ish
asst area because anything on the painted surface will will come off so first thing I'm doing is I'm
putting it on this cement ish asst area and it doesn't have to be pretty all you have to do is
have something and what I'm doing is I'm going to go to the end of this wall and while I'm traveling
the length of the wall I'm allowing what I'm doing to suck up into this and as it sucks up into it
it's curing which means when I knock it down it'll be done i'll show you this particular one without
without allowing it to cure okay i got it there and i do that it's kind of soft so it's it's okay
i mean when you paint this it's not noticeable but let's go back to that first one back up j back up
back back okay now this has only had what a minute a minute to set but i can see it's already sucked
in there now when i hit it it leaves more of a hump because it's dried on there and we want
to follow these humps so that'll match not a match and they don't all match guys I've been doing this
forever and sometimes I look at it I go up that's not it oh yeah allow it to set and soak in there
so the base are dry and now we have a texture similar to these guys and you look at it and
these guys did go upward so I'm kind of doing that same motion upward or downwards in this particular
fashion here right-handed plaster guys we all go like this because I'm right-handed too so I'm
going the same way they did anyhow that is how you do it again the most important thing when fellas
email me to go man these guys did these insulation holes I painted about 50 of them they show like a
sore thumb look at your texture and go a texture a little bit lighter because this is mellowed out
over the course of 20 paint jobs anyhow we got about 100 more of these to do so we're going to
get busy but I just thought I'd throw this in because we get a lot of folks calling me
for this too anyhow guys my name is Kirk and as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
