hi guys Kirk and Jay here with Kirk Giordano plastering got a question for you guys who
watch what we do can you tell the difference but does the camera show the difference between
this finish here and this finish here what is this finish guys you guys should be experts if
you've watched any of our videos by now this is a light - what is it - it's a throne on finish
or a blown on finished blow or the hand hopper you throw it on what is this there's a heavy
float finish that's pretty close but if this was painted this would stick out like an eyesore it
is not the correct texture but before you do a - you do a float a heavy float finish it helps
you with the with the - let's show you how to do a - but first of all I grabbed a wrench from my
truck nothing worse than a leaky nozzle how many of you guys know this trick here all you got to
do is take a wrench and there's washers in this and you just tighten it and it will stop that
nasty leak now okay we're getting ready to do a - what's a - - brush because I'm not going to use a
hopper not for this small thing here and what you want to do guys is I'm gonna show you the mud I'm
using here I'm taking this soupy mud here just to prove a point guys see this stuff that looks
like soup doesn't it if it was stiff like you if it was stiff you wouldn't be able to dash it
and I added a little extra stand guys normally our mixes oh one in three sometimes one in four
depending on what we're doing see that guy over there you need a mixer guy a mixer really helps
things okay now I got my - mud here and note I got it soupy what is this you put it in water first
get that brush wet because you put a dry brush into here it's going to stick on here it's not
going to come off so now we get this brush dip it in turn your head you don't have to look at
dip it in and feel that mud feel it see that dip it in don't worry about if it gets all over the
handle that's that's nothing okay if I throw wet mud on a drywall it doesn't adhere very well so
what I'm gonna do is I'm miss this I'm gonna miss it and give it a better bond I got a lot of guys
always calling me saying hey I did a scratch coat and it's terrible can I put another scratch coat
over and our brown cook and I put another brown coat over I said yeah but make sure you wet the
wall give it some proper suction that's another detail okay now to do a - finish thanks practice
guy takes practice if you throw it and there's a bunch of lumps and clumps just keep trying what
you want to do is just flick at her wrist flick of the wrist - remember that old saying a dash
of salt that's all we're doing a flick of the wrist guys yeah you don't have to worry about
pipes and stuff you can cover them spend all day covering them or you can do what old Kirk does
watch this okay I'm just flick of the wrist guy because when this was painted I don't want them
to call me back it's nacre you know what that favor you did when you were working on my house
on something else and you said you'd take care of it for me oh well I painted it it doesn't match so
I'm gonna match this - there we go and you notice it comes off in a little pattern square pattern
it'll come off in any pattern I want I'm using the whole flat surface of it's about eight inches here
eight by four so now here on the corner I'm gonna use that same eight inches and I'm just gonna dab
it a little bit why because I don't want mud all over this side but you still get a little bit last
thing before I just a little short thing guys I'm gonna mess this up intentionally all right
now this finish here when painted will match you just got to know what you're looking for after 30
years I know what a texture will look like before it's painted so when I saw this I said dude that's
not gonna match he said well the other guy did it said it would well I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
buddy I'm here I will make it match and you don't have to worry about when you paint it calling him
back and saying dude that's an eyesore it doesn't match because if it doesn't match then that guy
will have to come back and put a bonding agent on this and then read a [ __ ] like what I'm doing
I'm doing this and it here's my suction if it's a painted surface then you have to put a bonding
agent on it okay where the where the mud got all over the pipe sky a lot of ways to do that you
can you can spend an hour to clean them or cover them or you just hit it with the water guy and
what I'll do is I'll go behind and if any gets on it not the end of the world I'll just take it
shoot it from behind get it all off of there same here I've gone this side shoot it from behind if
I don't want if I shoot it in the front of course all my work is gonna come right off
my jack hasn't set yet just shoot it like so get that one last piece here guys there's a little
Union trick I used to work behind a pump and I'd be the water man sometimes and the gun would blow
it all over the place my job was in eight hours a day just take the water hose clean the roofs
clean the eaves cleaning the windows doors ground and I just follow that pump so that's
the easy way to do it guys without knocking down your own texture anyway you see where
we're going with this and what I tell folks like right here where I - hit it first hit
it first with water so it doesn't stick and it just washes right off and over here last
thing guys transition see this fence I'm gonna hit this fence with water or you could cover
it with paper I'm gonna hit it with water them a - that I'm gonna take this hose right here
and knock it right off they're gonna paint that fence so it doesn't matter but if you put stucco
on certain woods like that instantly it stains it so anyway guys don't do that my name is Kirk
Jason on the camera you get an idea of how to dash properly and why we'll see you on the next
one and thanks for watching once again folks we thank you for watching and I really enjoy all
