thanks Mr Kirk for that great tip on raping arches for water tie seal like they alway said you learn something every day and Im learning from the MASTER…
Hey Mr. Valazquez, I wouldn’t say I'm a master, but I will say if I do anything wrong it's my moral obligation and responsibility to fix it on my own time for free.
Have a groovy Thanksgiving Day!

Thank you very much for sharing your craft. I absolutely love watching you work on your videos. I've got some house repairs ahead, and it's really encouraging when someone who loves what they do and is true to their art shares the know how. (I'll squeak if it looks beyond me). But I'm going to do some practice panels with your videos on the bench beside me. Thank You Mr. Giordano! You really rock. C

Good evening Cheryl MacKenzie, your welcome, we love sharing the knowledge especially if it helps gals like yourself understand the way lath and plastering works.
Thanks for watching and have a good evening.

Hello Kirk. I enjoy watching your videos. You've helped me out a lot. I recently finished constructing the arch in my front yard. However, I am having trouble trying to find the wire that goes under the arch on top of the black paper. The wire I am referring to is the one you are holding at 11:25 in your video. I live in Los Angeles and I've been Home Depot and a contractor's warehouse and can't find it. Can you let me know what the actual name of the piece of metal is called and where I can buy it. Thank you in advance.
Good morning Sahak Makaryan, no worries, that metal is called 3.4 soffit mesh or self furred soffit mesh I believe it's called diamond mesh at Home Depots and it's 2.5 metal lath. The holes are tight and small that way the stucco stays where you want it.So you don't spin your wheels type in Home Depot and then hit Diamond mesh to make certain they have it at your location. Best wishes and happy holidays. Kirk Giordano and family
Thanks a lot Kirk. But I was referring to the piece of metal that has a corner design that goes on to the arch itself. I have the diamond lath but I desire the one with an angle to it that I can install onto the arch directly after I place the black paper. Again, the metal I am referring to is the one you are stapling at 11:36. Thank you for replying promptly. I highly appreciate it. Happy holidays.
Hi Sahak, sorry, arch aid, type this in on google it will help tell you where to locate it, Cheers! kirk giordano
Mr Giordano went talking about rich cement you mean more cement than sand and how much sand and how much cement thank you in advance Mr Giordano and Jason
Hi Gil Velazquez, good question, as a rule I use about 3 times as much sand as cement plaster, sometimes 4 when applying the brown coat, when I say rich I mean for ceiling or what we also call soffits, we only use twice the sand, this extra richness makes the cement plaster like whipping cream, it's sticks much better, thereby not falling all over us when trying to defy gravity.Cheers! kirk giordano Plastering
