howdy guys Kirk and jason with Kirk Giordano plastering, today were going show you guys
it explains some stuff that we don't generally do anymore but just for the sake of your information
I'll show it and explain it in detail as I can okay first of all we got a lot of fires going on
California right now we got a lot of floods from hurricane a lot of stuff in the air bad toxic I
won't go there but what they have here is is mold you can see the mold and what I'm doing is I'm
gonna neutralize all this mold you see you see how it's bubbling up that's neutralizing it because I
don't want to inhale it I'm gonna put my mask on in a minute because I can't talk with the mask
and I've done this many many many times too many times that I want to even go over what we do or
what anybody does guys is they'll come in here they'll neutralize it like like this what what
products for neutralizing mold you got what I'm using a fruit juice or fruit enzyme you've got
bleaches you've got TSP you've got borax which is really really good for the neutralized in it
then after we neutralize all this would take the pressure washer this pressure washer here I have
this handy dandy tip and then it gives a lot of power right here we're gonna pressure wash all
this off and then we're going to take by hand scrape off all the loose stuff then pressure
wash once more once we do that then we're gonna apply a bonding agent and what is this this is
all foundation here the difference foundation now foundation if you got a good foundation with say
a French drain system you don't have these kind of issues they had no french drains at one time
that's been resolved what's this that's sheetrock what happens when sheetrock gets wet like in the
floods right now in the Hurricanes in San Diego Florida when she rocket sweat it resorts to its
natural self putty so this becomes putty what we're gonna put here is not not a sheet rock
or a taping mud pure gypsum mud we're gonna use a struct alignment construct the light was used
here before instruct the light has in it so the limestone is crushed within mix with gypsum but
it can get wet so we're gonna put a structure like base and two veneer coats over it so that yeah it
gets wet but when dryer conditions occur it dries it all out so you're not inhaling it and just for
the record guys we're just the messengers here this stuff here if you were to say google black
mold or stachy batches never mind that you can't spell them Google will spell them for you you read
some of the bad stuff about mold that's enough to turn anybody off so we're just I'm explaining
how and what we're doing in a quick quick fashion for your in entertainment or more importantly your
education because we're not trying to put fear out there and that's why I haven't done any of these
videos with how to correct this stuff it creates a lot of fear and by the way guys how do you get
mold in your house I have a hundred year old home I live in every year when it starts to rain the
insides I put the heat on inside it's cold as heck outside causes condensation all over the
glass the glass gets wet thus it drips down and if you have sheetrock and it's not painted well
the condensation from all the single pane windows drips on it drips on it drips on it if it drips on
it long enough and starts to go through you're going to get this and most houses showers get
this guy's that's not it's not something that's unnatural this is normal guys it's like wood rots
steel rusts well when walls get wet guess what mold mold toxins are horrible worse than the
fires that are going on right now in the Napa area and worse well similar to the floods that
are going on because everything is getting wet now you got to dry it out we're here just to today to
clean all this stuff out and then it's got a set for a week or two with we've got some machines
over here to dry this stuff out and there are some areas you got a bucket right behind EJ there are
some areas to guys that we need to vacuum we just have HEPA bag in here we put in air fresheners if
we're going to do this stuff guys use at least a p2 this is a about the the lightest mass you
can use this one's okay show me your mass Jake J don't mess around he's got a good mass now
that mass is what you should have guys because this stuff is no joke but at the same time you
get it in your shower you get it on your wall single pane windows will do it every time we've
got some of this stuff in our house and we you deal with it just every every other week we come
and we clean it and make sure that it doesn't have mold growing because mold guys is not really good
for you anyway we're gonna get started and we'll show you a little bit as we go all right guys I'll
show you a little something else because I know somebody's gonna watch and say oh yeah gee whiz
that's concrete but what if you have sheetrock that's molding I'll show you what we generally do
alright guys here's one piece that had sheetrock what we're gonna do is we're just gonna take that
sheetrock out because it's gone it is when I say it's gone you can't salvage it it's it's gypsum
it's gone so we're gonna wire this and put struck the light as a base go and then put a finish coat
over it in here I still have the luxury of pressure washing this way and taking it out
alright guys you see where we're going with this how many of you guys want to watch another
hour of me doing this and bore the crap out of you unless you're probably saying too late but
that's what we're gonna do we're gonna do this all the way as fast as I pull a piece off I'll
hit it with water because I don't want all that exposure of the dust and crap and all the black
widows and crap that around to this anyway well we get to the stage in here where we got this all
clean well show you again all we're gonna do it we're gonna skim coat all this stuff with gypsum
x' with lime in it so basically I struck the light plaster or say a base coat of veneer that
those can get wet by the way they can get wet but when dryer conditions occur they dry out now that
sheetrock cannot get wet but yet it has so anyway we're one step at a time and then we pick up all
this stuff throw it in our special trash bags and dispose of it so we're gonna go ahead and
finish this off gonna take me about an hour or two and then we'll show you when we get to that
next stage okay guys it's a week later everything has had a chance to dry out I know because I came
by yesterday to make certain here's what we end up with okay that's the stuff we pulled
off over here you can see what we pulled off the pressure washer with 3000 psi it really pulls it
off if you hold it on long enough it'll couch the wall and we've got this out after we get that out
then we apply a bonding agent you can use weld Cree and the next-best or the same equal to it
as quikrete it's sold at Lowe's or Home Depot what we're gonna do is skim coat this now and as I do
the skim coat I'll explain that a little bit more well show you what we got going on up here because
we showed this in the first video I don't know if J scammer can adjust to this it's pretty dark
and gloomy down here turn on a few lights we've got the wine cellar okay now everything in here
this did domingus how are you my friend what we're doing here is we had some sheetrock it was pretty
damaged so beat up so now that they did the four inch chains there's no more chance of water but
just a safe side we wired it we don't want any problems in the future we're gonna skim and put
the finished coat on this too but we're gonna just show you the garage because we've showed
this enough times just goes to show you if you do have badly damaged sheetrock get rid of it change
it okay guys we are at the skimming process all right I'm using an imperial veneer because it
has sand and it's a base coat how many veneers plasters are there about 20 different companies
so here's what I'll do it's very smooth and you guys can do it like this you can start it
and fill it right here a lot of ways to do this guy you can do it like so bone and feather it in
the bag says two coats now do you have to do two coats you don't not unless
it's thick like stay right here it's mighty stick so what I'll do is I'll
put on my scratch coat and if I hit a clinker not a big deal clinker is just
a piece that's sticking out further you seen what it used to look like here so
and the idea again is a to coat system to coat if say like here and there's something I generally
do when it's this thick they say you can go up to 1/32 inch thick to us a sixteenth you
can go up quarter-inch guys, in fact, I've gotten thicker than Napa what I'll do is
sometimes skim these where the depth is about a quarter I'll skim them now if you're going over
sheetrocking there's no suction plus if you're going over sheetrock you'll put a bonding agent
on it you'll kill the suction, so it won't dry this is going over raw concrete it's dry,
and just as fast I am applying so there's my second coat just to give us some depth
Take it here, and the finish is so easy. All it is is you can zero, and this is a sand finish. They
use the base coat. There's nothing wrong with that you can use the base coat, and what I was saying
a second ago as far as how thick do you get to go well that's up to the wall like again sheetrock a
thin coat just almost paper-thin and then back it up with this you go just thick enough to cover any
blemishes, so I'm just going thick enough to cover any blemishes I'm gonna skip this wall right here
and spare you the rest of or some more details, but the idea is you feather in seeing that feather
in and just get it right to the existing but say what if you are going over an existing wall which
really doesn't take much mud like this guy here it's kind of beat-up mostly the paint came off,
and we got some holidays here and there, but you want to put it on just skin it
as far as using the tools that's that's another story you just pull it off and yeah generally
folks say gee your trial is kind of big you're gonna blow out your arm nonsense this makes my
oh I'm stronger so and anybody doing this choose your own weapon or trial you see that we're out
of mud now I have one last scoop right here but I want to show you a little bit more about this
and explain a little bit more see you again here very very thin very thin and over there quarter
inch big deal now because this has sand in it I'm gonna be able to match these finishes I do have
diamond which is also of veneer that straight gypsum diamond has lime in it crush line though
is better for surfaces that have moisture getting on again I believe I explained the moisture thing
showers get it windows get it walls get it all you got to do is have proper ventilation many
showers I've seen look like a peach purple with mold and I just tell the folks hey I get it too
just use common sense spray it with Clorox or a solution get all that crap and go down the
drain you don't want to inhale it anyway Jason's going to mix me some one bud and we'll show you
a little bit more alright guys this this product Imperial base it actually sets in about half hour
you contaminate the mix you got about 10 minutes and it's set going over concrete we had about five
minutes so I've got this part the first batch it's already set I don't know if the camera can
distinguish this one piece in here is really white and this is darker when it dries it lightens up so
now now I have the fun part of floating it in while it's somewhat dry and that's okay nothing
we can't handle what we try to do is we go in circles especially when it gets hard like this we
go in circles because the circles we can work it which I just pull it up it doesn't work that well
and when I say use I'm I'm using a green sponge float now what's the difference you might say of
a green sponge flow and any of the other floats because there are a lot of floats guys there are
neoprene flows plastic floats all have specific reasons all do different things I'll tell you real
quick okay plastic float you don't want it that's just a compress and use certain material neoprene
or hard rubber float you don't want it because this will just it'll compact it we don't want
it compact it we want to bring the aggregate or sand out so we go with the green sludge flow okay
so we skinned it and now we're floating that's kind of funny float like a butterfly skin like a
bee that's why they called me now Mohammed or Leo Bruce Lee but I'm no poet I'm a better plasterer
guys anyway you see where we're going with this we got twenty minutes basically with this and
if you folks say well gee whiz I need longer go to struck the light struck the light gives you
it's basically the same stuff but it dries with heat between three to five hours how fast would
struck the light which is basically the same stuff dry on this one hour because this the porousness
will suck out the moisture right in in the coat so that's just a little tip guys we're gonna do
is we're gonna finish what we're started and okay we got quarter-inch here or more we go upward we
go upward and flat upward and flat what happens if I go this way I'll gouge my crack right here
because it's not fully set the idea is to work it bring out some of the sand match the finish and
on the joint go flat otherwise that joint will show when it dries anyhow guys we are getting
ahead of ourselves and the material is waits for no man including us so I'm gonna get back on it
well we're done with this entire garage here I'll show you the finished product okay guys we're all
set I'm going to show you the finish and give you some advice this stuff kind of beat me up because
the wall sucked it up so fast I'd advise you guys if you're going to do this to use struck the line
it gives you three to five hours how strong is this I'm using the edge of the trowel which is
like what it is a steel trowel look what's coming off nothing so when you're floating this and you
wait too long I was sweating big-time thinking wow because I'm putting it over here and I'm over here
rambling about how to do this so I lost a few of the walls if you get any clinkers holidays close
your eye and just scrape them right off this is Imperial again you folks use struck the light
if you're gonna do it but the finishes wasn't really what this video was about what this video
was really about was mold we don't generally do a lot of mold videos and there's a good reason why
there's a lot of rules and regulations I mean so many rules after we pressure wash to all this my
brother was behind me and I was using this using the water hose we had to cone off this area here
with a little hey-hey stacked so that all of that mold was put in buckets we took about 20 buckets
home so there's a lot to do with mold which is this build ten minute video is not going to
explain it so I figured I'd point that out because it's really about mold this video and ventilation
doesn't matter where it is that's what this video is really about not how to do this because we've
showed this many times and by the way you can get this wet and when dryer conditions occur
which they will it'll dry right out cheer och do not touch it with water or it will resort back
to its natural state gypsum anyway guys we're thank you for watching and as usual live long
