What is used for light weight stucco? who invented lightweight stucco? What is Lightweight stucco? Is sand in lightweight stucco?
Is lightweight stucco superior to regular stucco? Is lightweight stucco more water resistant? Is lightweight stucco able to resist cracking better?
Watch the Video, Jason will explain.

Hello everyone, presented in this video is a detailed explanation of a new lightweight cement plaster (stucco) and its application.

Jason and I attended a stucco seminar held at Westside Building Materials located in Oakland ca. to witness the explaining, research, development, mixing and application of this new revolutionary lightweight stucco.
This seminar had a fella who spent years formulating the idea of how to make stucco lightweight and save massive amount of styrofoam from filling our landfills.
His presentation was awesome, it even held my attention, that says a lot as I have heard many fellas talk about the boring subject of stucco.

Fortunately my son Jason was also at this seminar who retains much more than myself, so together I show how it’s applied while Jason explains the hows and whys behind the making of this remarkable achievement of lightweight stucco.

Stucco, concrete, cinderblocks the that say (lightweight) have either Perlite or Styrofoam coated with a cementitious Portland based stucco or concrete.
This method makes them lighter thus easier to handle and work with and supposedly more water Resistance.

      Morning Schpankme Verimuch, ingenious Cinderblock  technology show here on your youtube video submitted. Yes the BMI lightweight can be applied in a one or two coats same day system., as a base coat.For the projects I do that I need to match the existing finish I use a different material as this one should be just rodded or floated and left to cure. You can of course come back after the cure time and apply a third coat for your texture. Best wishes,Kirk and Jason Giordano DIY plastering tips

    I have mixed crushed gasbeton (Ytong) with gasbeton glue, into a light, fibre reinforced dough that I found excellent for filling cavities and plastering fairly thick layers up to 2-3cm with no problems, it dries slowly in deep cavities but when dry it insulates a bit. That is what I use all the leftover bits for 🙂
    It is so easy to work with that I pondered making a small crusher.
