hello there guys, Kirk and Jayson here with Kirk Giordano plastering today I want to show you guys
how to clean tools easily I was just using this Darby here on the side and I noticed it's full
of cement right here and I was taking my Darby on edge hitting the wall and I was hitting it where
I wanted the wall to open that just means you hit it on its edge and that wall will get air and dry
and I noticed I thought man it's leaving some nasty marks and I thought gee this Darby gotta
get clean and I thought my Hawk - now sometimes I'm busy stuccoing and other people put my tools
away not gonna mention any names and he won't clean it real well here's what I do guys I'll
take a curb usually like this now I'll put some water on it why do I put water on the curve why
do I put water on the tool that I'm gonna clean because if you don't you're gonna inhale dust
nothing worse than dust you find something that's really scratchy like that guy right here put it on
edge just like that clean now I can use that on this side see all that heavy stuff just put it
on edge get that off why because now this'll flex with too much stucco well flex another example is
a trowel now again this is a little beat up but the same thing if it's full of cake to a stucco
on the sides right here on the back it won't flex me I'm used to using my tools and flexing with it
not more of a skill thing than anything else so when I see a tool like this that somebody
didn't clean I'll take it here's to concrete because this is like a 60 grit it's it'll get
that chuckle off the sides so what if you hit your handle big deal the idea is you want that cement
off of the sides technically me if I'm busy again my brother other people sometimes what pulls away
and they forget about this important stuff with clean tools they will flex me even a hawk now I
got about ten haka on that truck right here my monster truck and I was looking at this one and
I was using it I thought dang it man I got no flexibility and I flip it around I thought man
nobody cleaned that side either I see right here that's what I want I want it to be the magnesium
this is just magnesium here and you could see if it's so caked on when you're spreading color
coach which I'm about to do the color coats will catch on all this right here so what you do is
more of the Kirby use the easier it is say like I know you folks probably say man I knew that
if I use that's quickly cleaning it if I do this now that's what I'm talking about how
to scrape sit down anyway guys I thought I thought I'd show you guys that tip because
you had too much stuck on the back of these tools rods Darby's Hawks they really aren't
effective for somebody who's highly skilled here if you're just doing concrete that's okay but even
then you still need some flex so I thought I'd do this and then show my brother I did
this just for you quit quit messing around and clean those tools better anyhow my name is Kirk
