Hi guys Kirk and Jayons here with Kirk Giordano plastering we are working in a hundred degree
weather right now it's hot I'm going to see you guys how we do this texture here because the
homeowner said she got a few people look at this and they said that they could match the texture
without doing something specific and it not really specific is when you do your scratching Brown this
has a heavy aggregate what's aggregate it's a fancy word for sand so aggregate that you
can't use the same aggregate in a scratch and brown by the way I just brown this out so what
I'm going to do now is i'm using a la habra la habra color coat it's a twenty thirty that's
medium grit so this is medium grid it was a color coat at one time today is going to climb up this
stage in and get a little closer so I could show you exactly how I'm applying this stuff here okay
guys first thing is get your color coat put it on here clean it off and I'm going to be taking
my color coat off from the bottom taking it off and pull on it and just pull in a little bit in
areas like this that's kind of nasty looking but I'll get the hang of it I have had folks
say gee real plasters pull it off the top they're talking about grabbing here but that gives you an
Adobe finish well not after that getting back to what I'm doing is I'm just putting a skip
on here guys knock that down because we're in 100-degree weather here I can put a little bit
and right here just shutter this in feather it in just a little bit I could knock it down
immediately because again it's at least ninety to a hundred out here today if it wasn't so hot
I wouldn't knock it down immediately I'm going to the top of the window pull it down put a little
bit on the top here pull it down yeah like so pull it down just kind of follow that pattern I
did the top already because we had a little bit of staging set and we're tearing down now what
I what I try to do is as I look at the fella who did the last texture everybody's got a different
texture and a unique I haven't seen two guys with the exact same finish but I can see there
that's a right-handed fella he's pulling it up and to the right which is a natural movement
when you're doing textures guys arm just wants to go that way so I get it here pull it up man
it's your hot today now what I'll do it after I hit that part here I'm gonna come around knock
it down because this is knocked down plus it has a lot of coats of paint here's where I have my mud
take a little bit more mud get it on there drop it a couple times pull it here and now here pull it
get that side this way hot weather like this sometimes when we do a scratch in the ground
like I did the same day we got a hairline crack that it dries really fast but nothing we can't
handle lastly I'm gonna hit this last piece right above Jay's head if I could avoid getting it all
over them and there you have it guys nothing to it just takes some practice even me if I don't
do a texture for say a month or two I get out of practice you got to do this stuff almost daily
guys anyhow that's how we do textures you got to know the kinds of sand to match the Texas UK
you can't do a texture with the base coat and expect it to match here sometimes well really
helps to know all your different materials fellas anyhow my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk
Giordano plastering we thank you for watching and as usual let's see you guys on the next one
you
