Hello folks, Kirk here with Kirk Giordano plastering today. What Jason I will show
you is to attach molds to walls now they had this one here gene Paletta
that fell overworking for tomorrow here, please.
he wanted something a lot fancier than that so I stole his sign by the way right here Valletta
gene eugene paleta this guy is great we said Kirk let's enhance the windows even more than
what they already have originally so that's what we're doing what we're going to do today
is we're going to place these guys on here now we're gonna have a surround - that's going to
come on here we're going to minor the corners miter these show them in here we're going to
mix up poly bond we're going to set them with the poly bond it I always like to have at least two
nails in every one of them that way while the poly bond is setting curing it has something
permanent and I just put a little collie bond over the nail hole anyhow you'll see it when
we get ready to install them and do the surrounds these are going to look really cool you're going
to even bypass those which are excellent looking ok guys get ready Jason I are going to cut these
molds I want to point out to you in case you try to do the stuff yourself it's no joke you
take off your regular wood cutting blade you put a blade from metal or masonry what it does
is it won't shred these fibers because these are cement coated and it has fibers here now
I've done it where we've ordered molds with no fibers it takes forever to put mesh and submit
on them you're going to do it forum pre meshed and cementec another thing that's very important
is have sharp blade because again if the blade doesn't go all the way through you need a sharp
knife if you start having these little fibers right here come apart man it takes you forever
to fix that stuff always wear safety glasses in a mass you don't want to inhale this stuff guys
this is about the most critical part of doing styrofoam mold measure twice three times cut
once cuz we screw it up you're going to have to order more alright guys now what I've done is
I placed my bonding agent on the back of here this bucket right here has got some poly bond
that's what I like to attach the styrofoam with I put it on heavy and I shook it a little bit by
eighth of an inch in each direction and I held it tight when what Jay and I did is he held one
side I placed a nail here now I placed a nail because over the last few years I've had calls
and folks say gee I had a mold fall off you can repair it nuts no problem but I'll usually put
a nail because usually you have to hold this for 10-15 minutes who has time for that and
we have a weather barrier behind here not only paper but a bit of a type of membrane which is
a plastic seals itself so two nails it perfect anyhow and put my second nail right here in the
stud my nails are long enough to penetrate the styrofoam penetrate the inch of stucco and still
go into the stud about two inches that's what I want so there's now we do it and I'll hit it
straight and now will Ben go there'll be a little touch-up here in there and also I got to stick my
corners in here we're going to go ahead do the surrounds all right guys we're going to stick
these sides and this also determines if you're going to if one window is going to take you an
hour or half a day fortunately G is excellent on that saw and you cut some perfect all I do
is just slide them in there and know I'm not going to nail these guys on I'm just going to
get it where I need it squeeze it in there get all that excess we want X then we want it squeezed out
just like that once we get it we'll take a brush and hit there and hit this joint hit around here
and that's how they catch very well I'm using my finger but I will grab a float in a minute and
that's it right there alright guys just doing the sides now because we're both doing stuff I
was able to go up there and attach that one while Jay was mixing but for the same cutting me with a
secret show you folks how this one is about ready to go on just finishing up the buttering up of it
Now the fellow who is going to do the duties is a great carpenter that's what you need to
have need to be able to be a good car for during order to cut these miters just right Jay was able
to do it but because we have this bumpy finish I'm gonna have to come back here and trial in a
lot up there okay now both sides work exactly the same so I'm going to attach this guy here
and what I'm going to do is just use my feet and go up once twice really make it set just
kind of wiggle it on that's exactly where I want to put a couple of nails we're going
to do that side and lastly we'll show you the top all right guy now the last piece just fits
like a glove right inside there Mike so we lit a couple times get a good bond moving it a couple
times and no I don't need nails for this one because the rest is supporting it just cap it
on a few times that mitered perfectly alright guys I'm going to take you up close show you
the styrofoam we're going to show you both of you compared to the one on the left there was
just a silk what I really want to show you to it that difficult texture man those guys
knew what they were doing when they did that okay - all right guys lastly all we're doing
now is just brushing things on we put the poly bond over here we get rid of nail holes we just
brush everything now any details you brush it on we've got a few more windows to go so we're gonna
put this camera away temp or permanently for the day this is Kirk and Jason Giordano plastering,
take care thank you for watching and as usual we'll see you on the next one .
