BTW, I'm Jason, the beard behind the camera, and also a licensed contractor. My dad and I have switched to powerful, modern, and long-lasting all battery-operated Milwaukee tools for good reasons. Take the Dual Chemistry M18 Job-site Radio. For me, this is one of my favorite tools for any job site: http://amzn.to/3aVmD1T. I plug my cell phone in the top, then listen commercial-free to my music all day... or my dad's favorite artists. 😏🤔 We turn it off when filming. 🎥
We've also replaced our corded break out tool for the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Rotary Hammer: https://amzn.to/3ecdjsy. Here's a video about why we love it: -https://youtu.be/TdsGwupieXE
We exclusively use this battery-operated mortar drill - it's a drag searching for outlets, unrolling a hundred-foot extension cord, and winding it back up: https://amzn.to/2OzBxS0

I was wondering the other day if anyone still made such things in plaster. I was going to send you a note and ask if you were familiar with how they're made. There used to be a LOT of architectural elements like this, made of plaster.
Howdy Dust Dude, this medallion was made of polyurethane, not gypsum, doubtful it could have snapped like the traditional gypsum ones made for interior use.

nice. try makita vs milwaukee. lates
Howdy Dave Dude, not my expertise area, any drill will do, or I could have just used a normal screwdriver.

Kirk Giordano’s professional plastering advice
Hey Dave, most of my personal tools are Milwaukee and I have nothing but good things to say about them. Have they failed you in the past?
all the time. thats why i went with makita. really good stuff.
dave daved That's a bummer. It has not been my experience with them. But to each their own.
are the screws stainless steel?
Howdy Dave Dude, doubtful, the screws are only there to hold the medallion up for the needed set time for the Poly Bond adhesive to take effect, beats holding the medellion up for the needed ten minutes,
FYI, a bit of caulking covers these heads so they dont show.

Kirk Giordano’s professional plastering advice
I held my breath when you you screwed in the bottom screw (@3.16). If you had too much adhesive in the middle it would have broken, much like a seesaw.
Howdy Mister Kennedy, I see you've done this before, this medallion was made of polyurethane, not gypsum, doubtful it could have snapped like the old-fashioned gypsum ones made for interior use.

Sorry, didn't listen properly:( you said polyurethane at 3.33. Yes, i've done it before, they're really fragile. No screws just tile adhesive. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming!
Howdy Dave Dude, no worries my friend.

Very nice….Don't you ever wear any other color? Would lo e to see you in brighter colors like blue or orange maybe
Good Morning Manju dude, thanks for the tip, however, it's habit to wear white shirt's from my union days to stay cool but more imprtantly to stop the Lye in cement from burning my skin, now when I'm not working, I do dress quite differently.
FYI, in my "work" video's I can care less about fashion.

I would like to buy. staple guns hey Kirk can I ever meet you one day man or help you out. I had a question. am tryna buy a. Stucco pump for brown Amy ideas where I can get a used one. for less then 10 grams. keep posting videos of patchessss man.
Good evening Jose, when I need equipment such as mixers I buy them used and ugly, it's the engine and running components I really check to make certain it will last many years.
Call the rental yards and go on craigslist, know what your buying by trying the machines, as today more than ever there are folks selling things that aren't what they say, I think this lack of honesty could be the result of poor eating and drinking habits of some sellers.

Mastering Plastering by the giordano gents
Hey Kirk, great video! I always learn something from you. Hey, I have a unrelated question. I just bought a new home and moved in about six weeks ago. The stucco is a very light color so when we got our last rain the water splashed the dirt all along the bottom of the house and now that it dried its stained. I tried hosing it down and that helped but you can still see the stain. Is there a method you can recommend for cleaning this without damaging the stucco? I had cement poured around the house so on the future it shouldn't get so dirty.
Evening Papoochee, dude as a rule if the cementitious color was applied that day and it rained that night it will stain the color coat where little can be done.
however if the color coat was applied and had a couple of days to cure completely, it does usually come off with your typical garden hose with a spray mist.
Tip, clean the dirt off treat it like a dirty pan used to fry spaghetti, that was left out overnight.
hose it done gently allow it to soak for awhile then come back and hose off.
Or allow the rain to happen for a few days then it should rinse off.
Don't use a jet stream as this might just take the color off.
Patients my brother, it's just like cleaning a frying pan, let it soak then rinse.
In fact, I have a video of this old common sense technique.

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you for the tips Kirk, I appreciate it. I'll take it slow. I thought i needed soap or something, but if you say good ol water is all I need then that's what I'll use.The color coat was fully cured before it rained so it should be all good. Thanks again!
Kirk you are one of my favorite YouTubers . keep killing it!
Morning Yuda Dude, thank you brother, will try to keep on keeping on.

Sharing DIY Plastering tips from team Giordano
Kirk, I watch nearly all of your videos and I’ve been quite intrigued by decorative stucco. I’ve seen various photos of interior plaster made to look like marble. (Scagliola, Venetian plaster, etc). My question is; are there any stucco techniques to make exterior stucco look like marble? If so, I’d love to see a video or instructions on the technique. Thanks so much for your time, and I look forward to seeing more of your videos!
Howdy Andrew, thank you, there are hundreds of methods of applying many stucco finishes. The finish you refer too can be done using synthetic stucco's, however, we show the projects I accept to repair, A fella would have to call and ask for this finish, thus It can be done. Sorry no request as of yet. Live long and plaster Kirk Giordano’s Plastering answers to life’s issues

Evening Yovany, thank you my friend.

Hi Kirk, love your videos. I wish you would have showed how you seal and finish the outer edges of the medallion. Did you use the same poly-bond and apply it with a brush ?Thanks
