Hello folks Kirk here with Kirk giordano plastering, what we're doing here today
we're in San Rafael and the fella here emailed me just the other day and I got a glimpse of
what he did here he took out the old door and he put this beautiful door and I went on Google and
I looked at the door or I looked at the house the front of it you could see the old door it
was kind of beat-up now this one's gorgeous what we're doing today is I seen through the
email what he had done here and I wasn't quite certain if this wire went all the way here or
if he just placed it in here but it does go all the way back to these windows because this is a
heavy Skip trial finish I've applied weld creep right here well treat as a bonding agent because
my texture will be better if I take it from here to the door if I just texture from here to here
with this heavy finish I can do it and match it but it'd be easier just to take it from here to
the door this way when we're done it doesn't look like it's piece together so it's pretty simple it
actually probably took me longer to drive here and to drive home than to actually do this work
here because we're you working with hot cements they they set quick and this one here I only want
a 5 minutes set I'm going to show you how guys how we even achieve that those guys in the trade
okay guys Jason is going to put some luminite in the hydraulic cement we have there which I
want only a 5-minute set time so that stuff in his hand that's called luminite now that
will that will either set this hydraulic cement in five minutes or 15 minutes and I want only 5
minutes so that's the procedure we do when we want to get this workable and quick now this
is a hydraulic cement and I've got Luminizer pretty much got five minutes to spread this
bottle spread it in five minutes it's going to set on me start at the bottom work my way
up start at the top and it all falls down and of course I'm filling up with underneath the
threshold because we want to strengthen this metal threshold here fellow step on this it's
got to be embedded otherwise it has a tendency to crack in these corners this is the first coat I'm
going to put the second coat on immediately assess I'm done with the first coat okay I'm
going to do a second coat gap that I'm leaving the door because I'll come back to get the top
do that, Melvin, you could have done this you can you hear me all right, yeah
Darkness, let's practice this big practice in this particular stuff
here. It's already getting hard some I'm hustling now just where we want now,
but this door don't do this stuff there you have it one more truffle.
you just going to do this Melvin gone don't do it on a bucket like those only cross seasoned
veterans not to set foot Paula five minutes, and then I'm going to float it to do the texture all,
right guys, we're doing the texture now I actually put a little bit of color in
here not because we needed to but because I wanted to show the texture this is a pretty
heavy finish we leave this on for just a couple minutes, and then we knock it
down and this finish is done with cement plaster done with the same material that they did these
sketching brown wood, so I'm using the same stuff, just a little pigment in it
Okay, guys, there you have it. The texture matches this finish here bulldoze I bulldoze this guy
right down here that way make the threshold a little stronger, and since it's set back just a
wee bit, we felt it out a little bit Melvin here ask me what can I paint that he could paint it
tomorrow we're using a hydraulic cement it sets fast we could actually do the scratch brown and
color in a day so traditionally it's 28 days to paint anyhow he can do this whenever you like,
Thank You, Mel friend Bert appreciate the gel appreciate your trust in our abilities,
and that was fast higher you mailed him yesterday is here this morning anyway,
folk. So thank you for watching, and we'll see you guys at the next one.
