Re Stucco vent holes, Mastering plastering
Howdy guys and gals, in this video I show step by step how to apply both coats of stucco to a patch on the wall where two new vents were installed. PLEASE, note our battery died after lunch, therefore we could not add the ending showing how to float this area, however I do have many more video which show how to sponge float a new coat of stucco.

Re Stucco vent holes, Mastering plastering
My grandfather used to plaster in the 30 and 40 did they have excelerator back then. Great video!
Hey dude, that’s a good question, I do know Dow makes Calcium Chloride in Portland Cement Concrete this is an accelerator also, but luminite or aluminite (this product goes by both names) was around since 1896. That’s from 10 minutes of research on Google just now, as your question made me wonder too.
It was shown to me back in 1980.
Have a groovy evening.

Thank you very much for answering my question! Ahh it's accelerator my bad LOL!
Great video! What kind of cement are you using?
Hey Jacob, on this job I used premium cement by Hanson’s and added an accelerator. Premium cement simply means it has common and plastic cement added in one convenient bag, so we just add sand and water to the cement.
Have a groovy day!

Hi Kirk, I would like to please ask you a couple of questions.I need to install bath fan vents on my house. 3 on the west gable, and one on the east gable. (one for each bath fan) I want the vents to be installed as cleanly as possible with no fasteners visibly securing them or anything. I also want to make sure they are very water tight and permanent type installation. I plan on using good quality copper vents/stainless fasteners that wont corrode, with built in j-mold on the vents to accept stucco. Am I on the mark?? My questions are as follows:Is it best that I break out the spot for 3 vents installed next to each other?Is breaking out the spot out pretty normal for installing these types of vents? Are the steps? 1) Break out,2)install plywood with hole cut in it, paper and cut out holes in paper3) Place vent in cut hole, Screw vent to plywood on sides of vent,4) Wire/Stucco up j mold on scratch and brown, finish coat covers j mold completelyDo those steps seem right???I've seen people use core saw type bits to install these types of vents thru stucco…but those were DIY sites…so that doesn't say much to me…and also it seems like that type of installation could leak and also not look as permanent, since the fasteners are visibly securing it to the stucco.Great video, helpful video! Absolutely wonderful and answers a lot of questions already for me. I hope 2016 was great for you and that 2017 is even better! Thank you
Howdy dude, yes you can do it this way, I do have the video where we lathed this also, but not certain where, sorry, when you breakout the existing stucco make certain you waterproof well, the rest you will find in any of the video's on how to lath, pipes, holes, etc.best wishes Happy holidays from the Giordano clan
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc.Thank you Kirk for your very quick response, I'll probably do the breakout, plywood/paper and vent install, then have a good stucco contractor come out and use their professional skills to do the scratch/brown and match the Spanish lace texture my house has. You rock the spot man!
Atta boy, that's what I would suggest.best wishes Happy holidays from the Giordano clan
