Hi guys, Kirk and Jayson here with Kirk Giordano plastering, tip guys, I did a video a while back,
and I used my Hawk and trowel, just out of a common experience, It's just like
walking I'm so used to doing, it and a lot of you guys called in and said, hey Kirk, can
you show that how you use your Hawk and trowel to make a corner, I thought okay,
this is a good opportunity right here, let me show you, folks, something you take your cement
it's kind of stiff cement but we'll make it work, yeah you do your corner you put it on, oh
This is kind of loose right here, but we make that work too. Okay, what I'm doing is
I'm just filling my corner up, filling it up now. I'm going to take the other side.
this mud here be a little bit better, but that's okay, we'll make it work too, and what I'm doing
is filling this up now here, not that sticky this mud, come on now sandy mud, sandy money a little
bit more difficult to use than a little richer, but I can make it work anyhow what we're gonna
do is we're gonna make this corner, easy way to do it okay a little bit here a little bit daring
what you want to do is catch it before it fall now that's one jagged corner you take your hawk
you take your trial you can go this way right up you take it this way with the with the hawk
or the trial pointed straight up to either way works guys you got a good corner you allow that
to set and you float this way I'll show you one more time a different way to do a corner which is
equally easy too but we're gonna move this board over there so give us a second all right guys and
show you another way to do corner and fortunately we put some extra cement in there what does that
mean, that means that it here's a lot better, because there's a lot less sand, the sand it
makes it kind of makes it strong but at the same time this the sand makes it want to drop, so the
More cement you have in, the batter guys, first I got to build this up because we are going over
cinder-block and in order to go over cinder-block, and for the grout lines not to appear when we're
done we want to go at least a half-inch so to go a half-inch,, not a big deal what I'll do is pull
it okay now you see that that edge is still kind of showing that's okay because what I'm gonna do
now is put a little bit more and go on the side this is now that I have a grip, what's a
grip mean that means the first coat is holding this first coat has adhered by suction this is
a porous wall it's been pressure washed that means it's clean and free of all dust watch I can lick
this wall, kidding I didn't pressure wash it, but it's free and clean of all dust, debris, dirt, grime,
moss so the second coat adheres by suction, okay, so we take it and again here I'm gonna come this way
and then pull it this way this way this way this is how you make a corner without a quarter you got
to put your first piece on there and let it adhere and that's what I did is similar to a scratch coat
now okay just for the sake of the right amount of cement the right amount of cement is is on there
right now guys, all we need is a half-inch so that the grout lines are covered we can do it two ways
like again I showed you a second ago you put you and pull it up here here's an easier way or just
as easy use a Darby, rod, t-bar and you, you pull it this way and this way, this way and this way
and you're always going upward this way this way so now you got two ways that you can do it guys
straight up like so or like so and that just again it gives you a straight and even quarter
for you guys who say hey show me again, how you did it with a hawk anda trowel, take a hawk you
take a trowel and pull straight up guys, straight up to keep going all the way straight up you let
that harden then float right into it, easy peasy lemon squeezy, nothing to it anyway, ah my name is
Kirk, Jason on the camera ,we got Lou over here who actually put a little bit more cement in
this, which makes this a lot easier for me to do it, then to be really sandy my name is Kirk,
