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

Sound advice for plastering repairs from your favorite stucco geek
Hey kirk ama do a alastameric house and the house haves sand finish already I put glue but ama add half stucco 20/30 on a half bucket of acrylic. Can that work
Im a plasterer for 20+ yrs in ktown, tn. Kirk will know best, but those are two diff in my opinion. A cementicious finish and a synthetic acrylic. May bond, but i wouldnt chance it. Maybe on primered walls but we have to weld creed primused synthetic walls for the cement finishes such as mission finish santa mon. to bond. And it didnt bond well. Go one way or the other. Mixing will def void the manufacturer's warranty too. Just my 50cents…
Howdy Josy excellent question, hope I catch you in time to advise, first of acrylic or synthetics are the same product, just called different names.
I would not recommend adding anything to any acrylic stucco, except a cup or two of water or the adhesion will be compromised among things, so don't do that.
On an entire home, this method would have disastrous results, on your own home for a small patch, not the end of the world, it would not last anywhere near applying any pure sand acrylic stucco.
Super quality acrylic stucco's are Stucco-Flex, Dry-Vit, BMI, Carsons, etc.

Howdy James my fellow plasterer, excellent advice.
As a rule, we apply Weld-Creat before applying cementitious stucco.
I apply specific primers that are of the same brand for all acrylic stucco's.
Your 50 cents of advice is undercharged, that knowledge can't be measured in money.

Kirk, i know you know the trick to keeping those nails from falling off after smashed them, lol you either drill a hole in the nail and watch all the blood squirt out like a volcano or a safety pin, or needle heated up until cherry red.
Evening Guard duck dude, ouch, but been there.
I even tried the Rambo approach to act like the pain wasn't too bad, but sucked at the part as I screamed like a wee baby.

Kirk is the consummate professional, we are getting very valuable information for free that is worth some real money.
Absolutely if you can buy something from his store using his link please do so.
Howdy Clint, I'm fortunate to hear comments such as this, thank you.
FYI, the Amazon link provides links to products folks ask about, direct from the manufactures, it does indeed for the last year or so deposit about 220 dollars a month in my account from sells revenues.
I set this up merely to direct folks to quality products at the lowest cost, that being said if it were to generate more cash, doubtful would whine about it 😉

I just lost my thumbnail a couple weeks ago nailing joist hangers. I bet that would work for those as well.
Pliers work, but you get used to using your fingers without hitting them
As much as this is an amazon ad, i dig this family & their vids. Learned some good bits & just some great presentations while gaining knowledge. . . best of luck with Amazon affiliate endeavors! And thank you!! Wish yah all the best!!
Morning Silent dude, we have had this channel going for about 10 years, we didn't sign up with Amazon, but about two years ago.
I had my computer dude hook us up for the subscriber's benefits as many ask, what and where to buy, although I do receive about 220 bucks monthly from revenues any cash benifits was not the number 1 reason I hooked up with Amazon.
That was the number 2 reason.

The second link to the tools page is missing the /
Morning jrg, a question please as I'm ignorant on tech stuff does the link have to have this slash (/) at the end to continue any link pages?
Is the link, https://www.stuccoplastering.com/tools or the link https://www.stuccoplastering.com/tools/ the correct way?
If the link has to have the slash at the end, then how foolish I have been as I have deleted this slash feeling it was a mistak and or not needed.

Hey guys, you should double check that website link for amazon tools because the url is not placed in the description properly.
Morning, my friend, thank you.
I have clicked the link it appears to be working,
Can you be more specific as my computer dude Alex owner of Bay Area Tech Pros, would be the man for me to call to correct any tech issues?

Sure thing, I will send a screen shot link here but it says " https://www.stuccoplastering.comtools " im sure there should be a " / " between tools and com. It's a small error but if people are clicking it, they wont get to the right page, http://prntscr.com/l3ndj5
And also i believe this wix site is incorrect http://prntscr.com/l3ne4z
Lol I was in a hurry once and smashed my ring finger off with a hammer, hand to get it pinned back on
Morning bird dude, ouch

Morning kirk. Is there anyway to avoid the pitting on these? I have a magnet hammer, a few, and they are made so cheap now for their price. Side grinded one to flatten it out, but now its not magnet. What gives. Lol
Morning James, I have worn out two in many years of use, your right, it's faster to bite the bullet and spralarge and buy a new one.

Very nice….and how are you Mr. Kirk? Hope you have recovered from lyme infection for which you were taking antibiotics. Wishing best health for you and your loved ones.
Evening Manju, 3 days left in treatment, it's been a mean 6 weeks, but an even longer last 3 years working with Lyme and Malaria and their co-infections, the parties over for the dammed parasites, brain fog lifting and my strength returning.
It's sad some fella don't appreciate great health until gone, how I worked through it was amazing, if I do say so myself.
Thanks for asking.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. it's better late than never to realise facts about life. Anyways wishing again a happy and healthy life ahead for you and your loved ones
Where do you guys get your scaffold planks from?
Evening Jose, some plastering yards sell them when I used to buy in bulk from was a place online called NP Planks, I'd buy a hundred at a time, quality plank at an affordable cost.
The same size wood at lumber yards to try and save some dough will get someone killed, don't do that.
Planks must be approved for scaffolding.

Ya nothing worse then hitting your hand with a hammer. Ive done it hundreds of times, and it sucks every time. No matter how good you are, if you are working at a productive pace, its going to happen.
Evening Dude, no doubt, the person that never hurts themselves never does much.
Personally in 30 years did it twice, and pounded thousands of these little guys in.
I belive if a fella does harmful things more than twice well……… Let's just say, what do you tell a man with two blacks eyes?
Nothing,
He's already been told twice.

Hey kirk what's a good ratio if I want to add lime to a traditional method of a scratch and brown coat .
Good evening Joe, your choice as my products are sold with lime already in the bags, I just add sand and water.
Most folks wouldpossibly say a hnful per 5-gallon bucket.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s plastering and stucco video
underpin it…………………….
crap, i feel like a jerk for wondering if you divorced an older wife to marry one of your younger female employees before i saw your homepage video and realized she's your cute daughter (and as a proud uncle of 3 nieces, i don't mean that in a weird and creepy way)! sorry, this is only the second video of yours that i've watched [yet] and didn't know anything about you or your family. i don't know if that's a reflection of the world we live in or just myself for assuming the worst, but there it is. btw, thanks for your videos! you have a beautiful family. (•‿•)
How do you pick the kids up from school?
Evening Lord dude, Man, they are all growed. Teaching plastering do’s, don'ts and reasons why, Kirk and Jasons plastering tips.
That's Pretty Sweet! I Can't Tell You How Many Times I've Whacked My Thumb/Finger Nailing Chimney Flashing.What Sucks is Usually you're Hitting it Real Hard to Get it to Go Into Masonry.
As far as Keeping the Chimney from Moving? In General the Chimney Stays put..The Wood Framed Portions Just Expand & Contract at Different Rates than the Relitively Solid
Masonry…Roofs Move Too Properly Flashed Chimneys Allow for that Movement.
Evening John, I agree, best wishes.

I Didn't Mean to Get Off Topic it's Just that I'm a Mason.. a Chimney Guy. I'm Not Saying Masonry Doesn't Move & Sometimes Sink.. I'm Just Saying that Unless there's an Ongoing Problem Chimneys & Masonry in General Don't Flex Like Framing.They're Relitively Stable it's Everything Else that Moves.
A Gentleman !
Thanks for your generosity in teaching all these great skills !
Look its Steve McQueen doing plastering!!
