Render two coats of cement plaster, BMI’s Silo, Stucco King

BMI’s Silo for easy plastering, Super Strong Cement Plastering Systems. stucco king

Hello Everyone, in this end of the day, video,
(we rendered the back wall and large right side wall already)
I promised the guys at BMI, I would show their Silo for easy plastering, fortunately I still had an ounce of energy to show and explain how to Render two coats of cement plaster at the same time.

When I say rendering cement plaster it’s the same meaning as how to apply stucco.
The word render is the one used to describe plastering or stucco the most in the UK.
We say I want to stucco this wall.
They say I want to render this wall.

Thanks for watching and have a fabulous New Year!

    • Hi Andy from Australia, it took us three days to render the 17 tons of premixed BMI.
      Keep in mind we did not have to mix the plaster, just push a button and a perfect plaster mix fell into the wheel barrels.
      most time I will spread and darby, but sometimes I have my sons spread as fast as they can while I tell them make it fat and ugly, I'll move the excess fat to where I need it with my Darby.
       I do enjoy this trade, as it keeps me fit and it's other physical action that gives me great pleasure.
       Best wishes in Australia and thanks for the bone.

    • Hello Andy, you my friend are very observant.
      This was a ten hour day and this was the last thing we did as I promised the fellas from BMI, I would show their Silo.
      I have worked twice as hard and then some days we are barely using any efforts or energy, just skill, got to take the good with the bad.
       Since I don't mind the labor it's good to be able to do both.
       Beside's andy and Nate, I know you work just as hard some days, food, sleep, stress all play a part in this game of life.
      Best wishes.

  2. great video man we use them silos on sites fill tubes up very fast that being said this must be a big house and looks very unique with curves and corners every where. its going to look great done. love seeing how you guys work over paper and mesh its very rarely done here have only done small areas like that around dormer windows on roofs so if i ever get a big job on i will be asking you allot. keep up the good work guys.

  3. Good work as always Kirk but what is the price difference between a silo and buying it loose its going to a more expensive but does the Labour cost make up for it ?. Also do you have to get permission to put it on the pavement from home owners and local governments

    Cheers. Andy

    • are you trying to say Looou doesn't give you the perfect mix every time ? lol , I couldnt see a silo sitting on the pavement here in the U.K outside someone's home, sand and cement is just too cheap to buy .and plus you need a ticket for a normal skip never mind a silo lol . keep it up Kirk .

    • @Andrew Pedley it was the same on this job, we had to have day passes as we were next to a Cal Berkeley the university.
       The meter folks were on us like white on rice. I would not have cared if they ticketed the silo, it wasn't in my name.
      Hope your enjoying that beautiful warm weather out there in sunny UK land.  🙂

    • I know, I was kidding, you lot contact me often and let us know how nice our weather is compared to yours.
       We are heading to  Shaftesbury England this year to visit me wife parents.
      This area always seems cold, with lots of rock walls and sheep. 
       But look at the bright side there are English women there.
       Have a great day!

    • Evening chaddy due, Those BMI SIlos hold 28 tons, you get roughly 27 yards of base coat (scratch and brown) per ton,
       if my math is right about 750 yards.
      This house was 450 yards, so there was  a lot of unused material in the silo,I received a 2,000 dollars credit for this fibered powered cement plaster.
       If your interested call my Pal Jerry Pozo he's the tech rep at 408 595-2031 or Rui Bronze at 408 5906135 (Vice president for taking orders)
      Best wishes and have a groovy evening!

  12. I've seen many of his videos, I don't think I would hire him due to the fact that he sounds like a salesman to me.
    He may be good at what he does but i wouldn't know I'm not familiar with this

  14. Hi Kirk,I want to stucco columns that has black paper and chicken wire, can I use Riverside Portland cement without having scratch coat? In other words, add the cement without coming back and adding another coat before putting the LaHabra stucco.

    • Howdy Humor Dude, of course you can, however the coat will crack like an egg, but if you allow it to set two weeks it is possible that your color coat will cover these cracks. Live long and plaster Kirk’s how to plastering video’s

  15. You kept saying that if you do separate scratch and brown the top coat dries quickly because of scratch coat suction… not true, here in UK we user water-proofer in the scratch coat. This slows down suction and two coats separately even on large areas is easy. And our finish is flatter and smoother than yours! 😉 keep spreadin kirk.

    • Howdy Adrain Dude, me fellow plasterer, this wall was a bit hollow so I improvised, plus there were no screeds or wood stops were placed on the top so I floated them in, if I would have added three more full hawks I could have used the darby just 4 to 6 times, but no'ooo I kicked the board off as I was too beat up knowing I'd have to fix upon our next visit. plus at the end of the day it was cold and I didn't want to over darby and separate the packs.
      When we came back I added the extra cement plaster to make it true and plumb, you must be a true plasterer to catch this, cheers,

  16. Would you rule that wall after with a straight edge or a u channel so it’s plumb or is it a adobe type hacienda finish or something like that ?.
