DIY same day stucco lessons
Hello everybody,
In this video we show you Professional plastering moves.
I had an boxing match with a 2 foot ceiling that could have been avoided, had I just took an extra minute to attach a bit of extra wire to it so it was not a full 2 inch depth. You might ask why was this so thick or deep? We sometimes correct framing boo boos with stucco.

Love your channel guys !
Morning Tim Jackman, thank you. I had a boxing match with that 3 foot ceiling that was two inches thick but I eventually won the battle, If I would have taken and extra 2 minutes when I lathed it and applied a pice of corner aid so that the hole was not two inches thick plastering I would have save at least 20 minuets on that nasty ceiling. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
Best wishes, and thanks for watching this long drown out plastering video.

what did that man in black shirt say to you?
Evening dieselisool dude, he suggested that I put more mud in the ceiling, but I didn't lath this as well as I should have if I were on the ball, I would have taken a minute longer when I lathed it and placed a corner aid upside down the full two feet so I would not have had to float two solid inches and expect it to hang well. Oppps my bad, shit happens and such is life,
Best wishes and thanks for watching.

We call them a derby in the UK too. Nice work
Evening Chris Black, I was told by a fella from the UK that they call them straight edges or T squares, which we calls rod work here.
I guess he was messing with me for a bit of sport.

Is this stucco material available at big box stores? I noticed that it looks very fluid and easy to attach the lathes. Thanks
Morning Keith Lee, Westside builders has many material yards across the country that sells this BMI plaster. Or you can Google BMI products to find the nearest material yard. Your right is is what we call very sticky which suits our purposes on this project.

I am working on the wall at home. I would like to know – Where can I buy the derby?
Hello again Keith lee, type in the word (DARBY) into Google's search engine and a few online companies will appear.

A straight edge is completely different to a daebt hasn't for handles
Hey Chris, you caught me messing around on the computer, Yea, we used to use 10 and 20 foot rods or straight edges all the time in my Union days when we plastered a lot of banks and other big building, especially if they were going to add the thin brick to the brown coat. Had to be within an 1/8 of an inch per 20 foot section, or at least we tried to do this.
Best wishes,

Howdy Chris, I knew what you meant, I'll tell you brother if it wasn't for spell check no one would know what the hell I'm try to say. As as you know our plaster talk is not in the computers dictionary.

Need help in upcoming test finish coat on 3 coat plaster . Where basically being tested on a open box. Ceiling,, face wall and both side walls what is the right way to start? Do I do all angles First,, then the ceiling ? Or should I do ceiling and top angles? use a angle float………….http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.tswfast.com/images/store/KRPL061large.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.tswfast.com/do/product/300411/KRPL063&h=500&w=500&sz=15&tbnid=Vpb0oKYKyG_NUM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=90&zoom=1&usg=__vbjhsiMHSHMqbp9Vj_66TbsxjMc=&docid=2szNQHBZkIr2XM&sa=X&ei=RJ2SUtbUNebmsASW24GIBw&ved=0CEoQ9QEwAQ
Evening Carlos, I remember those same tests,Start the ceiling first and work down. If you start the walls first, then do the angle or ceiling this mud will fall on the walls and you will be judged poorly as you always work from top to bottom,
best wishes,
kirk giordano
I actually depending on the mud pull it off the hawk both ways. If it's stiff I pull it off the top, if its loose I pull it from the bottom. Dont let those haters get to, you're the best. Happy New Year from Colorado
Hello Ernesto Gomez,
Any and all folks who disagree with my style makes my day, as theirs many ways to improvise in our trade.
Being the best of the fastest is way to much work, been there and done that, no glory in being the best except for bony fingers.
I trained many, but in teaching my sons, I preferred no extra crew as I wished them not to rely on other guys, so I had to plaster the majority as they were doing the best they could.
Cheers my friend and have a great new year.
kirk Giordano Plastering
Thanks for the response. I really admire your work.
Evening Gomez, I like your style too,
Cheers brother!

Kirk tell that Big Dummy John to shut up when your filming! lol
Hello Kirt plastering; What i need to know is how do you know how thick to put on that first coat ? 1/2'' or 3/4'' & how do you gage that depth ? & is that first coat a scratch & coat ? how thick is that to be ?
Good question for us it's just practice, for most beginners you match the weep screeds with the window and door frames, depth, this is where a darby comes in handy.
Cheers.
Kirk giordano
we see that it keeps falling off ? you said it is 2'' thick… you have use that quick dry mud… why not this job???
Sometimes the new stucco does stay put, even defying gravity if it's lathed properly, if not then I resort to the accelerator,
Cheers,
kirk giordano
Hey kirk how are you?hey kirk can i use this bmi material on a scratch and brown job?do you ad sand to it?
Hi john, you can use this for a scratch coat as well as the brown coat,
Cheers,
Kirk giordano rendering
Hey kirk,does the material come in buckets or sacks.and can you apply both coats the same day?
Hi john, this BMI same day cement plaster comes in bags, all you do is add water, however one should not overmix and this cement plaster has rules that take even seasoned plasterers time to learn. You can purchace at any of the Plaster material yards.
If i were you I would choose typical portland cement and add the sand, user friendly. If I told you all the do's and don't with this BMI one coat, it would take hours, plus you would have to have at least 5 to 10 years in to understand what I would be explaining.

Simply the best…do you use galv. or stainless mesh?
Howdy Nige, most stucco netting is galvanized, so it won't rust,
FYI, Jason and I as well as the rest of our Giordano clan wish to thank all of our subscribers and those who stumble on our videos a happy & prosperous new year.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. You mentioned you doubt that you'll live much longer… are you talking about lung problems from stucco dust?
Greetings AB Dude, no, I was messing around, but I have inhaled my share of stucco dust, unfortunately.
I'm like a cockroach, it will take an atomic bomb to get rid of me.

Sound Plastering tips for the DIY beginner or the Plastering experts
I always wondered what kind of wall are you plastering when the lathing and the wires are on the wall. Could you tell me what kind of wall is it and why you put it on? Thanks!
Evening Mate, the contractor built the wall as a barrier, we as stucco guys added the stucco netting so that this wall could be stuccoed.
Without paper, the new wall which has plywood on its exterior could not be waterproof, without stucco netting the stucco will not stand by itself instead it attaches to the stucco netting and stays put forever.
Peace, love with happiness to all.
