Hello folks, kirk and jayson here with Kirk Giordano plastering, today we got something
interesting to show you we did this bathroom several weeks ago and it's a 100% line finish
and the owner said gee Kirk you know can we do another color in there absolutely you can do
100 colors if you want so he said well how do we apply the next color and I thought well I hate to
say this but probably gonna have to put another base coat and another and then of course we'll
do the lime finish and he says oh are you sure and I said no I'm not done another color over
another color however call the manufacturer and find out exactly what they want so he did and
they said apply a bonding agent first a primer and so I'm gonna show you what he used because
this fella really does research his work in case you guys ever want to do this this guy's already
researched it might as well just use the product he's using that for a primer so what we're going
to do today is we've taped off everything the shower door is gonna go right here I believe
it's gonna go in like a dark green this color here is has four bags of pigment this is what we
started off as this light blue this is this is a sample and they said gee we wanted a lot darker I
noticed because I've never gone more than one pack per bag this is four packs per bag I noticed this
has a little bit more variations but anyway that's when you go very dark I've never gotten this dark
side I learned something anyhow guys what we're gonna do is I'm gonna go ahead and skim this so
I'm gonna hit it a couple coats with this lime this is a base coat it's called deco lime and what
I'm gonna do is I'm gonna recoat these three inner walls and because we don't want to get any of this
white on this blue let alone the green we've taped off everything and of course guys like like if you
do in a window when we don't want to trial into it we want to travel here so we hold that tape tight
anyhow jay is going to I'll get lunch and I'm gonna finish putting both of these coats on I'm
using a stainless steel trowel but it doesn't you don't have to use a stainless steel trowel when
you apply this kind of stuff what I'm doing is I'm gonna hit everything by the time he's back from
lunch I should have both of my coats on here from the table we don't want to pull it off otherwise
I'm gonna have a real problem and another thing I don't want to do is drop any splatter cuz it'll
splatter all over the place so I'm just gonna live into them a little bit anyhow this is it this is
the base coat as far as to do a lot of planning well we get to the cool stuff like the color I'll
show you that too you may not be today because the weather is gonna dictate if I have enough time
whether or not the secure is out before I apply that next product so we get to that stage well
show you that all right guys it's like a sauna in here where we're at is Jay when it got lunch we've
taken lunch I'm doing a second coat now my biggest problem was when I had to do these where I touch
this up let alone the color you have to keep your gloves clean the trial clean your knuckles clean
and then you push it in here and yes I've got a few dabs on here so I have a clean rag just in
case but uh this is the first coat and since we're going over a primer which is kind of sealed what
I've decided I'm gonna do is just do this second coat I've done the two coats everywhere here so
I'm just gonna finish this second coat here and guys I highly recommend if you're gonna do this
do two coats I feel like deja vu because I was just here come a week to go doing this exact same
system in this exact same bathroom but for the sake of another color can do the same oh [ __ ]
one more trifle and then we're gonna pull some of that tape if you get it what a little grit of San
guys that's what happens it will drag try not to get any sand in these particular finishes a
better example of what we're doing can be seen on some of our Santa Barbara's smooth making finished
videos it's almost identical we're just applying two coats but as Jay says in here it's real tough
to get these angles because we're right on top of each other I'm gonna go ahead and one more little
trial that I'm going to pull this tape and we're gonna just come back tomorrow I'm not I'm not
comfortable with putting that next coat on right now because this has got to set and we want the
bond just right I want this set because we'll do the next coat which is a lime finish it's best to
have this completely set up in my humble opinion because when I do the next coat I just want to put
it on and not worry about taking this off because the more you trial it actually lifts this so okay
now what last thing I'm gonna do is pull these gloves off and case your folks are just watching
this and haven't seen these ones previous we ended up prior to all of this was durab or wonderboard
this crack tape and this is this is not the fiber mesh tape that we use for taping mud this is a
thick fiber mesh tape then we did a flex bond over everything over and tied that in then we did the
deck of line and then this particular line here so now that I'm at this stage guys I take my handy
dandy brush here last time I showed you you folks I this brush had opened up so we get new brushes
and then I'm gonna just just clean this feeling here and we want and clean this corners what we
want is tight corners tight everything so our big $30 brushes do more damage than good so I
just use these little throw aways last thing I'm gonna do guys is pull this tape right here
then what we do is we pull this tape of course when we come back I'll just have to put some
more tape it's not the end of the world and what this is is this is right at the shower door and I
could use a vinyl tape I'm kind of partial to this but I don't know if the vinyl tape won't peel this
finish off so better safe than sorry and we'll use this blue so that's where we're going with
this guys when we get to that stage tomorrow we'll show you that the other finish which is gonna be
green it's gonna be a really cool contrast all right guys we're gonna continue this video we're
doing green now just where the shower door goes right here the transition doors gonna be there
it's not gonna be seen and what I'm doing is I've got a first coat on this wall I've got two coats
on this wall I am I let the material on the wall pretty much dictate when I apply the next coat
because we are using this stuff you want to know or you should know when to apply your next coat
we have the first one for color coverage the second one we're gonna burn now buff it bring
out the highlights I'll show you that when we get to this to that stage what I did it is it my
swimming pool trial here multi was in Omar Moreno ciao and a stainless steel trial for corners you
know all these stuff like that again when we come to we don't want to want that tape to adhere so
we're gonna go with the tape I pull it this way I pull the tape off so this is my second cup or
first coat on this one in about Oh take me five minutes to do this then I'm gonna jump up keep in
mind guys that like the first coat I'm keeping my gloves clean and my trials clean plus I tape the
top thread because you don't want to get another color now use a brush brush this in and when I
pull it I'll have a nice clean edge all right guys what I do is I like to brush my corners between
coats and this way they get a little tighter I'm not worried about this up here because I have
tape and when I pull the tape it's gonna leave a nice my next coat on here and it's just a matter
of knowing when to put your next coat jason tells me yeah we got the skylight in here which helps us
do the work but gonna make four lousy color it is what it is guys we're in a tight spot this is the
second coat now it's not need as much elbow grease for the second coat just goes on like butter J
mixes just just perfect of course what he does is he mixes it slacks in and then one time for me to
put it on makes my job easy you did want to see a better video of how to put this this on I've
got hard to apply Santa Barbara smooth mission finished that's pretty much the same thing but
the only difference is that's got a lot more sand in it this is pure lime with our Santa Barbara
we don't have to polish it or things like that so anyhow guys I'm going to continue put this on and
when I get to buffing it real soon in about 15 minutes I'll show you how we do that too okay
guys we got the fun job it's like a sauna in here of buffing this now lot of ways to do the bucket
you can use my marina tools you can use stainless steel I prefer my swimming pool trough stainless
steel also but I keep this perfect and what we do is also want to keep this clean we just buff
it this does take practice what you guys can't see is I'm not putting it flat otherwise I pull
it right off I'm I'll show you in slow motion see this one is up and up a little bit then this one
is up so although I'll go like this see that even I can pull some off now when that happens and it
will happen to everybody I don't care how good you are that will happen just try a little bit
more and get it in there real tight okay sorry getting back to this guy then the buffer this
spring is the highlights out it really gives it a shine and you just go over it the more time you go
over it the shinier it gets you know you don't want to over chili cuz you can separate it but
that's what I do and if at the end I want it even smoother I'll take my trowel wet it and pull it
upward and guys remember this to the handy dandy bucket or brush this expensive brush right here
will do more damage than good because I want these corners tight that won't go an inch on
both sides so I just take this little guy here go straight up I take it to the top and I clean these
edges and what I'm trying to do is reinforce them also and I go upward myself I go upward
anyway guys when we get done with this I'll show you the final result we'll pull the tape
in you can see how it looks okay guys we have complete with this and what I'm gonna do now
is pull this off keep in mind to folks I got a few comments and a few people said isn't it
cheaper to paint everything sure you can put green green board and tape in mud and that is
a lot cheaper it's a lot of ways to do a shower you can do tile you can do lime on the website
this material says you can draw it like glass it's got sand in it it's tough to sand or to
trial on this material like glass I mean we got it real smooth so I'm mentioning this you folks
trying to do this and you say man I can't get it like glass that does take a lot of practice
and even I doing this forever it's really tough to get it good like glass we can get sheetrock
material like glass because it's taken mud there's no sand so anyway i point that out
in case you folks try this and you say dang how come we can't get it like glass it's a
real tough thing to do guys all right so now with my little bitty brush we're pulling this
back now hopefully I won't have a big green blob going across I've had that happen you name it
we've had it happen and what I want to do is pull it tight I'm taking both layers off and
yes I used to because my knuckles always have mud on it and I hit the tops with my knuckles
It's got to be wet yeah yeah this okay now we're gonna do this one and again shower doors gonna
cover this so we want to get it as best we can and we do want to take this office for Hillel for guys
we do want to take this off same day because if I leave this what will happen is I go to pull it
off tomorrow I'll pull off a big section of this because the whole thing will dry in the hope it
will come off so this you have no choice to pull it off immediately if a little comes off well guys
about the first time and it's definitely not going to be the last time but fortunately that door is
going over this you guys see where we're going with this the contrast is somewhat cool this is
gonna dry and then he's going to put the soap on it and guys too you're gonna do this particular
system is so and that soap should be applied three to five hours so anyway make sure you do that
because they say gee whiz it's got to be it's got to be dry when the soap is in it in order to give
it a better water seal so don't forget that tip guys anyhow my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk giordano
plastering good to be out of this sauna Jason and I as usual we'll see you guys on the next one.
