Mixing Machine for sand and cement Render- Plaster or stucco
Hello ambitious guys and gals who keep e-mailing me about what is the best Mixing Machine for sand and cement Render- Plaster, stucco, mortar, paint here is the one I chosse as the lower RPM’s and the power can’t be touched by any drills that are sold here in the U.S.
Plus you can use both hands for steady mixing without worrying about the cord getting wrapped up around the drill and best yet, not get splashed by the higher RPM’s of a drill made for drilling holes, instead of manufactured for mixing.
Call me a sissy, but if you watch what we do you may notice that I hate getting filthing getting it done, that’s about as taboo as inhaling stucco dust.
Stucco and or rendering tips from your favorite stucco guy, “Kirk Giordano”, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded stucco guy, the other 30% is application.
FYI, although we make applying Stucco or Plaster Render appear easy, it usually take about 10 to 20 years of hands on experience to understand how to apply Stucco/Plaster/Render properly.

Thank you Daniel,
cheers,
kirk giordano plastering
Hello Kirk, nice mixer! What model do you have there? It looks like an XO4 but it's hard to tell.
Howdy Timson, they call it the Collomix mixer made in Germany,
it's a professional mixing tool,
Cheers,
kirk giordano rendering

+Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thank you
yeah,have one of those myself for mixing finish plaster,good job
Evening, you my friend must be a professional plasterer, we can't afford to mix with lesser drill for more than a week,
cheers,
kirk giordano Rendering
Nice mixer; smart move buying Made In Germany. For my recent DIY patio work I started out with an everyday drill, which got burned-out as expected. Then I got an SDS paddle similar to yours and used it with my SDS rotary hammer. Much better, but not as good as that Collomix of course.
Evening Metal Tech dude, i have burned out my share of drills as they are not made for mixing mortars, this collomix is,
cheers,
kirk giordano rendering
Thanks Kirk. We (sometimes) hand mix fireproofing and experience the same challenges with mixing drills. I'll check the Collomix out.
Hey Kirk when do you wet the surface ? before or after the bonding agent
Hello trumanwhippet. The bonding agent helps the stucco/plaster adhere to the wall, but it also helps you control the suction which is very important. Sometimes you can get away without using a bonding agent, especially if you are plastering over a porous surface. (stucco, bricks, cinder block, aerated concrete, etc). However, you can always use a bonding agent and I strongly advise you to so. Back to your question now. You can clean the surface with water and apply the bonding agent when the wall is relatively dry.
I am nowhere near as good as Kirk, but I have been plastering for a while now and I've watched all Kirk's videos. I hope this helps, my friend.
Good luck.
+Gandalf4137 thanks
What are you planning to do? 🙂
Evening Gandalf, Exzachary, you just inherited the task of explanation to the subscribers as it's too much work for me, but you have the knack for it, couldn't have explained it better myself,
cheers,
kirk giordano Rendering
Sds paddle is a great idea!
Evening Paintbrush dude, no doubt, we are using a birdcage paddle for the veneers we are using as of now,
cheers,
kirk giordano Rendering
Hello, Kirk. That's a great mixer, I have one too. A very, very good purchase. I have to get one of those mixing paddles as well, they are great.
Evening Gandalf,
I have been working veneer plasters for days on end as of now, and this drill mixer is the best for that work also.
Cheers,
kirk giordano rendering

Thanks,
kirk giordano rendering
yeah Kirk ,I've been a plasterer for almost 30 years here in Ireland,your videos are great it's good to see a man who really knows what he is doing,good luck my friend.
Evening Chloe, always nice to hear from me fellow Plasterers especially from Ireland.
Thank you.
kirk giordano rendering
hey Kirk,my name is Dave,this is my daughter Chloe's computer,im sure you've seen some changes in the plastering game over the years ,not all for the best.
Morning Chloe, I've noticed a few changes for the worse, I avoid using certain products because of this,
Kirk giordano rendering
yeah Kirk,i remember when there was no electric mixers and most plaster had to be mixed by hand
Evening Chloe, i'm no spring chicken, I have used mixing tubs many time before myself,
Cheers,
kirk giordano rendering
Looks nice that collomix, We use Refina megamixers but I might be tempted to try that collomix the detachable paddle is very clever.
Evening Gee dude, once anyone homeowner or contractors owns a collomix that's all they will ever use again.
This coming from a guy who has used every drill sold here in the United States at least 100 times.
Fortunately or unfortunately I have well over 30 years in this trade.
Cheers,
kirk giordano rendering
Amazing event

I was thinking of getting this drill. Either that or a Flex vr 1800? So what would you rate it out of 10? And how many bags can it mix at once?
Howdy JimjIm dude, i'd rate the collomix, the best drill for mixing mud that we have ever used.
It mixes strong at a low speed so that the mud stays in the bucket which means no mud all over your pants.
it makes sense it was designed for mixing mud and not drilling into wood,
In my description above there an Amazon link to it,
Cheers, live long and plaster
Giordano’s images and teaching video’s
Do you guys use plastic trowels and spatulas?
Hey bud hope your good Have you tried the 18volt collomix/metabo mixing drills
Hi Kirk, big fan off your work I've been a subscriber for many years. I've just bought the collomixer, fantastic drill it's definitely the best mixer out there mate. from keiron,Manchester England.
Good Job 🙂
You look like a 90´ car seller 😛
