DIY tie in stucco joints like a pro, feathering in stucco patches
Hi everyone, in this quick video I show how to tie stucco joints like a professional. Makes all the difference to looking as if an amateur who did the work compared to someone who has been watching Kirk’s DIY plaster network.

Thanks guys! ready for summer? Hot here in NM already
Evening Gee Dubb's I'm alway ready for summer. I prefer 80 to 90 degree weather to any other, whether or not i'm working.
Best wishes,

How many types of material can you time a product to harden as in working time ? Also if you have 2 sides of a house or window frames that do not match do you tell them( when you first look at a new job) ? DO IT YOURSELF >>>>>> DIY 🙂 T.Y T.U cheers
Peter old pal, There are a few exterior product that I can control the amount of time before they get hard and a few interior products, what you don't see is sometime a bucket will be brought to me and I'll turn it upside down hard and have a perfect hard sand castle type of a round bucket mold.
Even with practice we still get beat up sometimes, it's the age of these accelerators that makes the difference.
If I see bad patches I sometimes mention if they wish I can repair but on this one it was through video, that I bid, and didn't see the previous work.
Best wishes.

Kirk, man you make it look so easy.
How is it you wear a white shirt and go home as clean as you start.
Love your work

Hi Shannon K from Australia, thank you.
After so much time in I'm good at applying the mud to the walls and not myself.
It wasn't always this way.
Lets just say when I first started this trade I had two washing machines. one for the families cloths and one for my work clothes.
Cheers and thanks for watching.

Another great video Kirk! Don't ya love that the customer had 20 different textures going on around his house but he was hollering at you saying yours better be RIGHT? lol Sometimes the customers are the hardest part of a job! I bet you have muscles that most of us can't imagine with all that constant lifting of that product and troweling you do day in and day out!
Hello MsDreamcakes, when I say the client yelled at me it was mostly "are you sure you know what you are doing?"
At that point I kinda felt saying I had over 500 instruction videos would sound arrogant so instead I said if it does not match it's free.
He agreed and I got paid.
Cheers!

@StuccoPlastering Glad he was a satisfied customer! =}
Brother Kirk, you sure do make it look easy. I am getting ready to start my first stucco job and a little nervous but I figure I can jack hammer the bad spots:).1) Can you direct me to a couple of good beginner videos, 2) what makes you decide to use an accelerator? Keep the vids coming!!
Evening Todd Forfreedom, thank you. Below are two that are sort of step by step of how to do stucco.
I se accelerators often so I can save my client cash as I'm there for one trip. but the luminite cost 60 to 70 bucks for a 90 pound bags so if you're doing something small it's not worth it for you to purchase this material additive.
.Simply scratch one day and brown the next.
