 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

      Like every job we have ever taken, we made it work, anyway.

      Howdy Robert Dude, Contraire mon frère, that 60-minute moisture barrier "Jumbo Tex" is for waterproofing plywood walls, however, there was indeed this paper just 8 inches around this chimney, any more I would have stepped on and slid down this roof with the paper.
      FYI, this black paper, it's just as slippery as snot on a doorknob.

    What amazes me is that the higher the level of specialty in the in-demand trades, often times the higher of level of arrogance and some kind of secrecy feeling that you see around.
    Not in the case of Kirk G., where he always explains the steps down to the very basics and throws some "secrets of the trade" without hesitation. We only need to get ourselves to do it and eventually we will master the techniques. After a few small jobs i can handle that pool trowel with ease and confidence. Same as of getting to know our cements, to figure out the point of perfect mix, drying time, etc. I do door and window installation and commonly i used to sub the stucco patch job that sometimes is needed. No more. I do my own, and even started to get some other bigger stucco jobs, matching ups, etc. And all what i know i got it from this site. Great knowledge here.

    Always impressed with how you apply the materials Kirk. It's like watching Bob Ross paint. On a total side note, I have a video request for a gag. Could you do a short April fool's video special with you using a shoe to apply stucco like you joke about in other videos? Maybe under a premise of improvising cause Jay or Louuuuuuu forgot to load the trowels on the truck that morning, lol. Just a thought for a funny clip. I wonder if it would catch people off guard.

      The existing cement was a base coat, Jason had already applied "Weld Create a bonding agent" over the painted chimney so when I got up there, all I had to do was apply this finish coat.

      Howdy Jose dude, use your mesh on all seams, you can first fill all the joints then imeadiatly skim coat the base on, after this sets you can now apply the finish coat.
      The base coat will usually set in 20 to 45 minute regardless of thinkness unlike taping mud which take many hour and even days.

    Hello mr Kirk, love the informational videos. I have a new home that has traditional colored stucco with a smoother finish. It is cracking and the contractor wants to go acrylic now. Is that ok? Anything special to look out for?? Thank you sir

    Reply
    • Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. says

      March 28, 2018 at 2:05 am

      Howdy Poway, if you already have a smooth stucco finish an acrylic will be easy to apply over it. The acryic will flex much better than your traditional cementitious finish.
      Plus by now all the settling is oveer.
      FYI, with stucco the slightest movement and or vibrations causes hairline cracks, this does not affect the integrity of the waterproofing membrane, however, most folk panic as they have no clue why this happens it’s simply home movement, vibrations in stucco walls are sort like Kryptonite to Superman, not good.
      you are past this stage.

      Howdy Jose dude, are you referring to Sam Hoft, who lived in Castro Valley? Sam was a lather than plastering contractor, he comes from a line of lathers and plasterers.
      Let's see, 6, 94-pound bags of Riverside or any other cement plaster regardless of who makes it can scratch about 25 to 50 yards, this depends on the amount of sand added too, some folks might add 3 parts sand to one part cement plaster, or up to 5 parts sand to one part cement plaster.

      Howdy Copper dog, thanks for the love.
      I did indeed wear a safety harness when we plastered a wall from a drop down scaffolding rig set 14 floors above the ground, that was set on the edge of the high rise we did in Oakland a few years back.
      One long 30-foot plank. The first day we were too scared to plaster by the 3rd day we were having fun.

      Howdy Steve, what I'm doing on this roof is not subject to a fine, fact is I have been three times as high and still it wouldn't warrant a fine, the real issue I had was wearing the wrong shoes, as they hit me with skimming this chimney by suprise, we were schedualed to work indoors this day.

    First time watching, new subscriber. I live in phoenix…i'm DIY all the time. Stucco has always been "daunting" to me, thanks for making it look easy. May try some patches on a few of my rentals! Great videos and love the commentary – well done.

      Good Evening How to dude, like all trades it just takes practice, but when you get the basics, you can save a ton of cash by doing it yourself.

      Good Evening Paulzo, they beat me up on this job, I was not supposed to do this work, Iwas prepared only to do interior work, so I wore my tennis shoes.

    Hey Kirk, hope you are great! Theoretically speaking, how thick could you apply the finish coat after you have applied a bonding agent to a painted stucco? Would you dilute the bonding agent relative to the thickness? I won't hold you to anything, just want to know how you would do it!

    Hi Kirk, just found your channel & you've got great videos! Subscribed! Do you have any more videos like this? Skip trowel finish on an older (50+) house with a new sand float finish? How do you prepare the old walls? Thanks!
