Hello all, I would advise all for a job this size don’t even think about using any pre-bagged stucco that just needs water. That will cost you a fortune and take much too long.
I’d order a couple yards of sand deliver and at least thirty bags of either Hansons Lehigh premium cement plaster or 15 bags of plastic cement with 15 bags of common cement plaster.
If anyone considers applying this much stucco, click below to watch the three videos I have personally hand-picked for you.
For every bag, you add three-time the sand. Mix with a towable mixer, not the barrel type.

Kirk try rendering ( applying mud ) from right to left (left to right for southpaws). What we call "Setting" ( think you call it veneer, skimming …)left to right. When rendering you will always be pulling into your previous render, basically reducing the amount dropping onto the floor considerably. I weep when i see the render falling on the floor. Love your vids, from another plasterer that never stops learning.
Howdy Soup in a basket me fellow plasterer,
I hate to say it but I have had to let guys go who had the habit of dropping more mud than they could apply,
I used to scream sounds like cows shitting on flat rocks, man that makes for a long day as I also do clean up and nothing worse that having to pick up plaster from journeymen who haven't learned how to keep the mud or muck on the walls.
On a radius I can understand dropping some mud as the trowel is used diagonally but on flat wall where a trowel is used horizontally there's no excuse for dropping mud.

Mr. Giordano stucco guru 🙂 if price wasn't a concern, would stucco-flex be a good product to use here to minimize any cracks showing???? Just curious, thanks for the videos
Howdy Chilly Willie Dude, yes, but this skim coat procedure would first still have to be completed, Stuco-flex like all the acrylic's can only be applid only an eighth of an inch, and yes some acrylic's are garbage products intended in making money and not giving a quality product, Stuco-flex on the other hand as well as many other acrylic's are the best of the best and will simply expand or flex when movement occurs without hairlining.

Does Rapid Set FIBER or another fiberglass admix work well for preventing those hairline cracks from forming? I found removing all soil and digging down to bedrock or at least a 'false bedrock' layer when building the wall is pretty effective, but that's clearly not practical everywhere.
Howdy 3 Alame Dude, we applied the strongest plaster that is sold in America, but this will not stop this wall from moving if it pushed in the opposite direction for months at a time by the weight of hundreds of tons of rain water, It will perhaps move only as much of an eighth of an inch, buht when drier conditions return, Thus Voila a hairline crack may occur which BTW, is not the end of the world.
This wall did indeed have a french drain system installed and was engineered to the max, however nature does not care about these facts.

why didn't you use a go devil ? My only knowledge of one or experience is from what you teach us,so with that being said I would think this would be a perfect opportunity to use one or would it be the worst time to use one cause the work of it would break you down from such a long wall ?Thank you for sharing
Howdy Billy, excellent question, both Jason and Nathan grabbed our go-devel, however as we did not pressure wash this wall, the homeowners workers did, thus I wanted to skim as tight as possible to get the mechanical bond necessary, If I had pressure washed this wall you betcha I would have used my go- devils.

Didn't saw any expansion joints that's why there was so many hairline cracks.
Howdy wiseguy dude, I have never seen a concrete wall with expansion joints yet.
It's just man against nature, nature always has the upper hand.
Besides just because this wall has some hairline cracks does not mean it won't be standing as is for a few centuries, old kirk will be worm food long before this wall has issues.
Live long and plaster
Stucco/Plastering images and teaching video’s
It was just statement that expansion joints would reduce hairline cracks but would't make it any stronger it is just cosmetic issue.
We build retain walls with expansion joints but maybe because our outside temperature varies more than 55 degrees Celsius so that's why also temperature movement is bigger or another reason is they are usually prefabricated part that is made on factory and transported to site so there needs to be joints.
Howdy Wizeguy, no worries, I take it you're refereeing to Vertical expansion etched in the concrete, which does help.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thank you!
OK Kirk, question, maybe not having so much to do with retaining walls. In my basement , which doesn't leak since mortared the joints the the marble stairs meet the brick wall, the is a combination of wall surfaces. I am going to leave the stone wall alone as it looks good but 2/3rds are what look to be a 2 coat floated finish. The front of house had taken damage from gas pipe reinstall and water damage. I have cleaned it down as best I can and think I should be able to get away with watering down the stucco that is already there and scratch coating with a Portland sand mix with some acrylic additive in it just to help out. P.S. The house is close to 100 years old and doesn't move anymore as I have been here 10 years myself and no cracks/leaks have developed (except for the hurricane induced one in which I described fixing. It would seen to me as porous as the masonry on the wall is already it should form a good suction with scratch coat…am I all off base here?
Thanks.
Howdy Mars dude, you just need a skim coat like what we did in this video, one coat to the desired depth, FYI, an acrylic is a finish coat which goes on the skim coat or the base coat 30 days after that coat cures, you don't mix acrylics with stucco, If you do you'll screw up the mix.
Live long and plaster
Stucco/Plastering images and teaching video’s
Thanks Kirk, that's good news for me. It is interesting that the adhesive/additive product I have says use in base and everywhere else. I am going to take your word over the product's info…I'm hardly surprised when I see misleading info on products, some will say anything to have you purchase more and more.
P.S. I just reread my initial post and am shocked at the amount of errors in grammar. I swear I wasn't drunk when I wrote it out 🙂 I probably wasn't wearing my glasses at time and need bifocals but refuse to do it yet, it makes me feel I'm getting too old too fast I guess!

Nice video ! I enjoy watching and learning from all your videos .. I however have a question .. it would be perfect if you can tell me how to fix this problem I have on my stucco/ mortar wall that I just did..
First off .. I put mesh on wall.. then I went to Home Depot and bought stucco/mortar mix (sakrete). I used 5 .. 80lb bags for this job .. my problem is the color .. I mixed color cement powder into my stucco/mortar mix but for some reason when the wall dried it does not look good some spots are darker than others .. I definitely added an extra spoon or two of cement color powder when I was mixing my stucco .. now I need to paint the wall .. I want to paint it but I am afraid that it will peel in the long run .. what paint do you suggest I use and should I use seal or not ? Thank you

Howdy savvas, I would recommend a good primer such as a premium quality, exterior elastomeric coating, FYI, Kelly Moore's sell's this stuff,
BTW, if your color finish is chalky, hose it down with a water hose well as nothing sticks to a dusty surface at least not for long.

The cracks are not stress cracks from pressure of the backfill. They are shrinkage cracks caused when the concrete cured. The wall has insufficient control joints, so cracking was inevitable. Same principle applies with any concrete structure.

btw can you put plaster straight over osb boarded walls with mesh?
Howdy Rok, no, as the fiberglass mesh will alow the moister or rain to be absorbed into the wood as stucco is not always waterproof.
Thus the wood would expand and the stucco pop right off.
One must apply waterproof paper and wire, then stucco.

Man American work trucks are so much better the UK vans! They suck
Good Morning UK dude, not all American truck are good for work, I could name some models that really suck, however this is a rated PG site, so I'll stick with the positives, the older fords are the real beast of work.
This one is an 89 but has less than 70,000 miles and runs and hauls about 3 to 4 tons, Awesome for it's size,
This truck is not too big as I wouldn't be able to park on most projects and not too small that I can't load everything I need for a job and then some.

How many coats if Im doing a smooth finish over cinder blk
Good afternoon Ice ma, after you apply the base coat as we did here the average finish can cover in one coat, happy holidays
Live long and plaster
Sharing the plastering knowledge
First you need a bonding agent to seal the block, otherwise you will have problems down the road. Next your scratch coat and if the block wall is on an outside wall, you should use water proof cement, both scratch and finish coat.
Kirk good afternoon i have a question can you do a scratch and brown on a cinder block wall?
Good morning Daniel dude, no need for both unless your filling out bad areas, a skim coat is all thtats required of at least 1/2 inch or more.
Live long, and plaster
Plastering tips and techniques
Yes, but you MUST, use a bonding agent first then the scratch coat, let it dry, then the finish coat. If you don't use the bonding agent, in a few years you will get discoloring, bleeding, scaling spots, hollow spots and more and in most instances stucco falling off the wall is patches and hollow spots.
Very smart and it shows he has tons and many years of brilliant experience. The BEST TEACHER.

YouTube plaster god. I remember these good ole days of plastering and when you said your not setting up scaffolding I laughed! Mixing mud, floating and being the lower guy on the wall, I hated it all untill I got paid and stepped back to be proud of what we did. Good job Kirk. 99% of people always forget to mist the wall when starting! Main reason why u always see the joint lines. You guys killed it here !
Howdy Andy Cruz, dude, I like your style.
Your right the necessity of creating a mechanical suction bond is more important than getting it done, as no mechanical bond created by the water misting all our pretty work falls off in under ten years then old Kirk has to go back and plaster it again, but this time for free.
Plus your spot on, the joints do ghost through, you have a true plasterers gift for knowing stuff that matters.

You are a great teacher Kirk. I used some kind of membrane on a crack in my slab floor before I tile it.
Would that work on those cracks of yours so the crack wouldn't transfer through the stucco?
Thanks for the great video
Howdy dude born a year before me.
There are no products I'm aware of that will stop a wall or slab from moving in the long run, Not Rapid set's "cement all" which has a strength of (9,000 PSI) when set, almost 3 times as strong as cement, nor La Habra's "Polybond which is great for sticking to anything cementitious, or any caulking, or even top quality epoxcy.
I tell folks if a hundred ton wall is going to move, nothing will stop this action.

Sharing plastering information, as the world can use more teachers.
Great video. You make it so matter-of-fact and doable for everyone.
You are so right, drainage is really the most important part of retaining wall construction. It's importance can not be stressed!
No matter how you engineer the wall, you are betting on overturing failure or slippage.
I recommend something like Keystone blocks. If it fails all you have is some dirt, stone, geotextile and blocks to pick up as opposed to a full on concrete wall, footing demolition and rebuild.
I'm sure I'll get hell for this, but to each his own.
Again, kudos on the video.

This is not a true statement. First plasterers work inside, stucco applicators work outside. Plasters work with plaster not stucco material. Stucco and plasterers use square trowels and don't spill their material on the ground, after all who uses a swimming pool trowel larger than their hawk and spill all that mud on the ground, it drives me crazy to watch someone who thinks he is a plasterer using the wrong tools incorrectly. He also should have used a bonding agent on the concrete wall as well, this would also would have afforded him more time to do a better job with less spillage. The man shoveling the mud onto the mud board is doing it all wrong as well as he can injured his muscles, he should be standing right next to the side of the wheel barrow and with small wrist movement and no strain on the back at all onto the board with a smaller spade shovel. As a licensed plasterer for over thirty five years it pains me to watch his videos and see him brag about how good he is, when in fact I would not hire him for one of my crews at all.
Howdy wanna be, trolls/cowards make negative remarks without revealing their names or pictures. So you know the difference of plastering to stucco, terms anyone can google.
Your the kind of fellow who watches porn, then criticizes others as your subconscious is now pleased, while on a conscious level you feel you must vindicate yourself as your ashamed you watched, the fact is no one cares, I could correct you on your foolish comments but feel it would have little value to me.
Feel free continuing to sneak watch how professionals handle the advice you were searching for, I'm certain you found the information you needed, also feel free to whine a bit more when satisfied with the results you learned.

Masking materials are cheap. i would have ran a typical 12/200 roll of viqueen and never gotten the black top dirty. prep work is crucial. Just a note The work its well described. love the work.

Don't it needs a bonding agent to adhere to that poured concrete wall?
Howdy Lucy, no, this wall did not need a bonding agent as it's new cement, stucco will adhere to new cement when the wall is misted, "hydrated with water, this is called a natural mechanical bond.
However, to be on the safe side we allied Larson's weld crete anyway.

I noticed yous are dropping some material on the ground. How do yous clean it up? Does it not stain?
Howdy Joey, mud falling is gravity in action, if you look at where the radius is you will see red tape running at angles, this it keeping the black paper from separating, our ground covering, "Black Paper," sort of blends in with tar, the covering is complete.
FYI, it's way too much work to drop and allow to stain then clean staining tar.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s Plastering tips
Thank you for this video. Extremely knowledgeable. I am an Engineer working on a similar project where the existing stucco has begun to peel away. Once we have the existing stucco pressure washed off, would you recommend installing a new bonding agent? Also, my project is located in an salt air environment. Would any of the cement/stucco requirements change because of the corrosive environment?
Good afternoon Michael, If your in a cold climate or by the sea which is salty.
I would emphasize, top of the line pressure washing with much force, then apply a proper bonding agent and plaster as normal.
no stucco or bonding agent will stay on for hundreds of years if the bond is not the best possible under all conditions.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice
like the work, but we wouldnt get away with that in ireland. We wpuld have to leave it straight using a 6ft straight edge and rubbed up with a wooden float then sponged. That way it doesnt show shadows when the sun comes out
Aloha Fixit, fair enough, so in other words when a client tells you he wants a hand-troweled old world stucco finish, you say, no?
But instead, give him a modern day wall straight and perfect.
These finishes are okay if your around 20 to 30, but some folks have different tastes and find this finish to be an expression to scream out to the world, "I am wealthy," while this is okay, often mature clients desire shadows and variations in color for a more charming effect.

Hi Kirk and family ,i have just a couple of things i have learned from 30 years of construction is that when you work with concrete you have to control the curing time so it don't cure to quick because if it cures too quick it will crack due to shrinkage ,so we have to maintain a certain amount of moisture content until it is cured (from green stage to cured) and when i was an apprentice bricklayer i was told not too mix the mortar (mud) to long because it would introduce too much air into the mixture compromising the strength ,i really enjoy watching your videos i love to learn more about the use of materials and the method of application, keep em coming 🙂
my brother keeps asking me why i dont do stucco and block work by my self,, really,,lol,,ive always said a mason is only as god as his his help,good help is hard to come by,i believe stucco is harder then block work,,
Howdy Mick, no doubt. I tried several times to do stucco myself, could not do it, even 30 years ago.
