Hey quit laying down on the job and get to work! Hi guys, Kirk and Jay here,
with Kirk Giordano Plastering, Today we're going to show you how
to skim-coat this foundation here, as well as fix that concrete hole.
The product I'm going to use is the stucco patch, you could paint it in two hours and I'm
going to use this Cement all, the Cement all is for that uh hole right here and, and guys
check this out, we had a lot of people say hey we love how you're teaching, how to do videos,
guys, we do how-to videos, but we show how we do things, you guys don't have to do it our way.
We just show how we do things, anyway, can you use regular stucco to
repair this? Sure you can, but this rapid set mortar, I mean this is Rapid-Set,
now this right here I'm going to dig some of this out I want to make it look like an iceberg.
You know an Iceberg a little bit on top a lot on the bottom, we're going to dig some of this dirt
out we're gonna then use this Cement-All. Why? Because it has the structural strength of
like three thousand pounds the first day and after 28 days 5, 000 pounds.
Does that matter? Not really, because the chimney over here you can see it's a hundred-year-old
house, it has not settled, and the chimney is not cracked away from here so it's not moving,
anyway this is overkill, but that's how we do things guys.
That's why we show what we do, you guys, do it in whatever way you want.
Now because, he said well Kirk, I want to paint this week because it's an eyesore,
I just switch to this now Rapid-Set, which says you could go ahead and paint within two days.
I mean let us set two days rather and then you could paint this. And of course,
this is water resistant too, so, what we're going to do is, just yesterday, Jay and I were driving
home from a job and I stopped and I looked at this, and I told the guy well what I'll do is,
that's just a little bitty patch. I mean look at this little bitty
patch, there's a couple more here and there, I said, Man, I'll just use some elbow grease,
because I don't want to bring my uh big compressor and we're driving home and Jay says, you know Dad,
I heard what you said, I said, what part? He says well, I'm going to use some elbow grease, I
said yeah, he says. Well, what I heard was Jason's going to use some elbow grease, and it'll take
him about a half hour to scrape this down right here, scrape this down. He says, Man, it'll take
me five minutes to put that pressure washer on. Now, that pressure washer is 3400 PSI and with
this turbo tip that guy right there makes it about 4 000 PSI, so when we hit this, what it'll
do is it'll get all the dirt it'll take the paint off, it'll take the rubber off a boot if you just
hold it down on it, but it'll micro-etch this so that when we put a bonding agent on here, it'll
set and then our material will set on this and it'll last forever.
Here's what we're going to do we're going to take uh this uh Bulldog or what is this
the Milwaukee Roto and we're going to pop these edges off, see like right here of course
when I when I hook that up you can see what it's going to do, it'll just got to get our lip off.
Now we're gonna um dig that hole out we are going to pressure wash this and get all the dust,
dirt, and grime off it because a Bonding Agent, is only as good as what's applied over.
Then we'll show you how we go ahead and Patch it up with this Rapid-Set
and I'm actually going to hit the Cement All, Rapid-set too to give it the same finish guys.
And this by the way, is the exact same finish, we're just going to clean it
up so when they paint this, it'll match this, we'll show you when we get there.
[Music]
All right guys I'm gonna cheat a little bit, I'm just gonna put this Rod right here, and here's my
knee to hold it, and Jay, got me a little bit of mud mixed up, and this stuff hardens in like five
minutes, so I'm gonna take what I need and just throw it on; hardens in like five minutes guys,
and we got a half a bucket here that's the account for that uh Iceberg,
look doesn't look like much, but it's a like an iceberg so we're gonna come up here,
come up here and when it starts this is wet too by the way, it's got a bonding agent on it,
Okay, let me get some more of this stuff out of here, I'm just gonna plop it right here plop it
right here, oh, whoa what a mess, ohhhhh, how could you do that? Because it's going right in here, okay,
there's a side over here that you can't see, that I'm filling up to,
come on now,
all right, now, just for the sake of, this is gonna get stucco here,
But can I finish using this, using this cement-All? Oh sure, I can sure we could,
a little wet and that's okay if it's a little wet guys, just have a little patience and it'll
dry up, especially right here where it's an inch and a half thick, it will set.
Now what I want to do is pull this off, blam, magic put it on this side now you'd have to
come over here Jay to see this, but for you folks who want to see this other side I'm just going to
do the exact same thing and this is already getting hard guys, so do I need this Darby?
Not really it could fall now because, if it falls look at that, that's stiff. Now, guys,
you might say do you need all that? Sure I do, I'm going to take it and push it in there, I
want to push it all the way to the back get it all the way inside there, get in there, get in there.
And it doesn't matter if this comes out. I want this to come out, because
I'm pushing this in. If I'm pushing this in. it's going to push that out.
That's okay, now that I got this filled up. I'll put this Darby you could use a 2x4,
straight edge, it doesn't matter guys what you use, and push this right back
and since I have some extra, I'm going to take this extra right here and drop it right there,
And just put this on here, like so, and we're going to give this about, 10 more minutes,
you guys want to listen to me talk for 10 whole minutes? We'll come back and show you this one
when its hard. I'll show you how we do this texture and you guys might say why the heck are you going to
do that when you have Cement-All, here? Cement-All has silica sand this
is the same sand as this, so, this Rapid-Set same day stucco or stucco, this got 16/20
sand what the heck is 16/20 heavy sand? It's like I told the guy, I say well,
don't worry man, you don't have to worry about us doing weird stuff like that, and he says you
know what, I've been here 10 years. I've never noticed that, I thought well, I don't have much
to please you with then, if it doesn't match. Anyhow, let me show you guys how to match this
stuff now this Rapid set, it's uh you can paint it in the same day or 24 hours later, they say,
now this is smooth, but that's made for strength and the strength is, is what I'm looking for,
now we already hit this with the bonding agent, so what we do is we put on some of this now
this stuff here it's just uh it's stucco.
Now let's see here we just keep on going, and what we are doing is I'm going into the transition.
I'll show you how we feather that in, too in a second,
funny weather; it's almost like we're in Michigan here,
started off it was 40 degrees we were freezing our butts off, and right now it's about 75.
A 30-degree difference, hey, that's Michigan kind of weather, anyway right here where
it's. I just applied it 10 minutes ago. I don't want to break my pack, which means I'm
gonna try to go gently, because that still needs a little bit of time before it sets,
I'll show you guys a little trick here I don't want to break that
corner either so I'm going to put this here reinforce it pull it up, beautiful.
Okay, now what I'm gonna do, guys is continue on my merry way here,
now I need one more hawk full to finish this, what I'll do here is take my handy dandy bucket scoop,
and take the little bit we have in here out looks like
Jay mix me up just about right, that's all the mud we got, but that's all the mud we need.
Anyway again, back to the weather, It's mighty warm now we're just a little while ago it was
dang cold. Jason says, oh, I see how it is, I give you a shirt and you wear it to work!
That's because I didn't have to buy this shirt, Jay and Sarah actually sell these shirts online,
and I kind of like it because it says, live, long and Plaster.
Okay guys, so we got it right here
I need a crumb of Stucco, do I got a crumb of Stucco, do I have a crumb of stucco left? Absolutely, I'm gonna fill that up,
and then I'll show you guys how we bring the sand or aggregate out of
this guys. Who's the best? Kirk's the best! Okay, guys, the last thing we gotta do is float
the wall, this is sponge float, and we what we do is we take this new joint into the existing joint,
we kind of wet the sponge see all that wa-wa? Okay, then we, if I start at the bottom it's
going to leak all over their brand-new pavers, we don't want to mess up their brand-new pavers,
so what we do is I put water on here, and I'm gonna start from the middle,
I'm still gonna, and I'm putting the float flat just like you snowboarders, do when you're
Looking for speed. Put that board flat. I'm putting, putting it flat,
putting it fla,t putting it flat, now what I'm doing is coming up now I'll take it sideways,
take it sideways, take it sideways, not too much water, because I don't
want to get it all over this brick and can anybody see two things still got to be done?
Number one, I still got to clean the new pavers; what we do is we take this bucket of clean water,
clean the float, dip it here come all the way, flat again, do it once twice, clean it off, flip
it around, do it get all that sand and gunk off. Tap it out, hit it again, right
close, then you can use the hose to get it here that way you don't knock it off, so the last thing
you guys tell is the difference between this and that? Now this has got the heavy aggregate,
the heavy sand 16/20 rapid set got 16/20. If you guys want to fine sand, well, if you
want fine sand, I'll write in the description, what to buy if you're at HD or Lowe's, if the sand is
different. So one other thing to match this is 100 years old, the house has been painted figure
10 times in a hundred years, 10, once every 10 years,
so because it's so smooth and they got all these patches where cracks were,
just take your trowel, now just come on in it and smooth some of the aggregates out.
That's all you do guys, that's all you do, and that's what they did;
now it matches when they paint this a little bit better, and if you see a lip like I got a
lip right there, tap it out, and just redo that, little old piece and how do you redo
that little up here just like that, in fact, I might see another little piece
but anyway guys you see how that's done. There's nothing to it, if you know how to do it.
And if you don't know how to do it, remember guys, we do those videos not to teach, somewhat
to teach, but to show you how we do things. My name is Kirk, Jason is on the camera we
thank you guys for watching, and as usual, we'll see you on the next one.
all right folks, we want to thank you all for watching; if you enjoy the videos that we put out,
please like and subscribe so that we can keep making these videos for everybody and as always,
we'll see you on the next one.
