Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano Plastering,
my daughter Madeleine, doing the video today. What I'm going to show you guys
is you can zero in on this zoom in on this stucco is buckling from the house reason is
present Reed hood here underneath it when it gets wet it sometimes tends to puff up which
you'll blow this out that's one of the reasons it's about 20 different reasons I won't bore
you with them all, but I'm just going to show you how to think now what I want to
do is contain it so what I want to I don't want to get off for this see that I don't want you,
but the wall dictates right stop it Brian start here's what I'd like so I'm going to
score this first with the edge of my hammer if I just start breaking the whole thing will come
off quite easily, so I'm going to score it meaning looks like nothing at first,
so we're going to go around both those patches once I remove it I've got some
cement sitting right here I'm going to put it back together and show you how to match this finish
stop
the Betsy work I'm generally good why are in here which I generally do now I have wealthy I'm going
to take a water hose hose this get all the dust off and I'm gonna hit it with well creek one
Peters just the bonding agent I wanted to bother this would it to the teeth I could dig the food
out take me forever so I'll leave the keys in and just use welcome another method is we put wire
but it's such a small patch I'm choosing to go to the well alright guys so got all this
just out of here actually I'm gonna use this to do the finish but what I did is I dipped
it in water I got all this dust off because obviously nothing in here's the stuff not the
paint well treat is blue in color I just put it like that it's a well creat again there's
a lot of ways to do this somebody might call me a cement I know a better way but there's a
lot of ways to do this this is just the way I prefer to do it on this I've been to jobs
where we have taken all the stucco out of the keys but that's just somebody really out of it
and if they do with that's what I want to do a little patch like this just not necessary a
lot of ways to do this we can put this with the wiring this is mainly a stress crack because the
stucco is put on top of the mud sill here where you have your mud sealing the stuff that goes
all the way down and should have a weed-free but close house this old fella what I'm gonna
show you now is called the scoop get a man out to building supply it open the mud is already
mixed because I was preparing for this so we're going to take this good take it out a bucket
and finish this off here this mat is kind of kind of wet I wanted it a little bit heavier
but just the first coat I got it swept on another coat a little wetter than I like but
I can still work with it those little stiffer then as soon as I put it on I could immediately
float it and - it but the purposes of trying to explain we're using a rapid steps - man it's me
you do scratch proud today little stuff like this doesn't pay to come to tricks for get the
cement too hard quickly to use regular previous to that night which we did for years when they
come up with other products such as the La Habra one code Western one code Omega and still love the
frogs products such as one were using here today which is called rapid set our stucco actually give
it about I give it about 15 minutes and it be ready to flow but so I have to come back this
this bunch blowed right here is how we bring the aggregate out it's not going to give it a - finish
but it'll bring the aggregate down I'm thinking all the water out of this trying to dry this out
Still take a sip, officer. We're now fresh stucco-like this. We're going to always go up,
going up the idea in here and going down now,
but I know what I'm doing. You guys,s beginners, try to go down because we want
this stucco to adhere this key up here corner got this push in the way but give me an idea.
like that we were at there's a hot Sun this would already be dry, but it's winter right now it's
Christmas time pretty cold out here real chilly myself I'm gonna let this sad we're gonna come
right back to it because this is just too cold you see your breath coming out here and dribbling on
you about 15 minutes from where we last stopped they want what I'm doing now is give it a chance
for this cement too hard again it's, and it's about 53 is chilly, so it's really hot you flip or
but because I'm working alone just trying to explain,
I put pottery part it's not really hard you know okay that's afloat,
and that's before - to match this they have to float it all this now you take that breath
that gets it out of the building stock all the same where you get that's where you get
dip it in soupy mud, the same cement that I was using just you want to get the majority off shake
it down like this noisy streets hopefully you can hear this and you just - it just a little
bit of your wrist yeah just a [ __ ] on there and of course I don't want to - the new stuff
I don't want to put another coat of - on their original - because when it's painted we want
it to blend in that's what the float is let us blend it in with the look and we come over here
called dashing like a dash of salt
just just click on with your ribs it's the mud stuck homes, man it's gotta be Sufi,
meaning you got us a little bit of water in it, so it's real runny; otherwise, if it's really stiff,
it won't come off well I'm looking at the finish they have so I got a matte finish they have which
I already know from experience, and they put it on it was running now done here help my
daughter zoom in with the camera probably tough to see what would actually finish to
the finishes but get an idea how to do if you want to even do it you don't want to do it,
of course, call somebody like me this is Kirk Giordano Plastering thanks for
watching this how-to apply step over the video, and we'll see you on the next one
