hi guys Kirk and J here with Kirk giordano plastering, I'll show you guys today is how
to do this texture why the same day now this they've got a float finish it's where you
sponge it you bring the aggregate out and then you seal it you do this and when you
seal it the scratch coat should set 48 hours so we're using some accelerators because we're
way up in the Oakland Hills and my buddy here knows it's a far Drive for me in order to keep
my cost down I told him well I'll do both coach same day which of course we've worked for this
fellow many times he knows how we work if it's if it's real high up here like say this one will
do both coats and that way we keep keep those costs down all right what I'm gonna do here is
Jason mix this mud portions on the camera right now and we have 3 cups of luminite in this one
bucket here what's that mean when it starts to set it's gonna set fast goes very very fast but
that's what we want I'm kind of an expert with the fast-setting shuffle because I use them often and
the reason I use them often is cases like this I can pass the savings on to fella as I work for ok
that's how you do one solid inch pull it out this bucket here guys and let's see I always like to
scratch you everything even with these accelerated profit products you don't put one solid inch on
out of time now that I got that I'm actually gonna switch this bucket right here because I
don't want to bend down and break my back I put it on something else and I'm gonna take out enough to
give me get these tops okay tops are a little bit tricky because now they gotta hang up in there you
got to go a couple tons make it hang push it up in there anytime you're doing the top push it up hard
always cover your floor because I'm pretty good but we still spill I don't care how good you are
your fellas gonna sell a little bit always cover your ground well okay one more scoop and I'm gonna
have this whole coat here again this has three cups of luminite in this Portland cement Jason
just happens to be an expert at mixing this so he gauged it so I would have about 15 minutes in 15
minutes this is gonna be hard as a rock back to it's so hard I'm gonna put my second coat
on this side right here right now above it I'll show you what I'm referring to okay I've already
got that second coat on there now guys if you try to do this and you say well I'll Kirk doing
it Kirk is half the job because the other half is Jason if Jason mixes this where it doesn't set as
fast as I need it it's gonna fall down I started with some sauce someone soupy mud now now if you
look at it it's getting harder right as I'm doing this so okay those are that's done that's a the
same depth that's the same guy okay those tops are done through the side to put a completion on here
now when I when I put this on I kind of go I slam it on and there's a few when you're doing this
like this you got to keep it open meaning it could fall it's what you guys aren't seeing me do is I'm
not really laying my trial flat I'm leaving it on edge and I'm leaving a lot of an edge because I'm
opening it as I put it on that's a little trick it's you leave it open on edge yeah on edge and
now that allows it to dry if I do this it seals it now I have to wait an extra 10 minutes 15 for that
take it on edge now that stucco is open and yes it does matter okay you see how fast I got that done
we just happen to have more than enough cement in this one bucket okay I'm gonna finish this up
here what we are masking is this 7/8 of an inch these vents are inch inch and a half under here
so there's plenty wiggle room now two guys if I didn't have doesn't have all these accelerators
this would be falling down everywhere that'll do it right there I'll put just another hair on and
then I have to wait 10 minutes so Jay and I have lunch here we're gonna go take it and by the time
I come back this stuff's gonna be hard and I can do the rest of it which is loaded so I'm gonna
take my trial I've got it on edge right here I want that to dry faster just put it right here
there I'm adding about actually before we're done with lunch this is gonna be set so in about 15 10
10 15 minutes we're gonna come back here and what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna float it I'll show you
how we do that and then I'll show you how we get these marks all it is is trowel marks
