Kirk, from my view was that hawk acrylic? It appeared translucent and if so is it due to the product you were using? I know I know I watch too intently.
Howdy Clint Price, Bingo give that man a cigar, good eye my brother, it was indeed acrylic too.

Why not use bonder and apply 30/30 sand and do a smooth finish to match the existing stucco?
Howdy Vince, I could have done that too, in fact, I could have squeezed out a tube of caulking steal trowled it flat then floated it also.
lots of ways to skin a cat.

Hey kirk..i need to touch up alot of spots of stucco on my home..should i use Acrylic stucco..is it more beginner friendly?
Howdy Jay, acrylic stuccos take more time in to learn how to use and gage the proper grits of sand, perhaps you should get a consult on the grit you need?
Plus acrylic's stick to everything and is a drag to remove.

Thanks guys…another very well done explanation…Kirk and Jay are the best teachers of plastering around!!!!
Greetings bee friendly Dude, my neighbor, Carrrl just gave me 5 bottles of his homegrown honey, man, I just love that stuff in my tea.
So true without my oldest son Jason, the bearded plasterer, I wouldn't be able to do any video's as it's too difficult to film oneself and even worse to mix your own mud.
Cheers me friends

Do you have a video patching a Dutch finish
Greetings Marc, not certain what finish your referring too, sorry.
Cheers me friends
Kirk Giordano's plethora of plastering knowledge!
Kirk: in the video, it looked like your finish was much rougher than surrounding area. Was that the lighting, or was it actually rougher?
Greetings High Tech Dude, the first finish was 20/30 and green but was a grain too heavy, so I used the 30/30 acrylic, grey, there is no lighter grit stucco than that.
My painting pal was happy so much, in fact, he bought me a 5th of Gentleman's Jack whiskey for getting him out of a jam.
I told him I would have preferred stake dinner, but the jack is working at this time of writing.
Cheers me friends

It seems like the stucco on the rest of the house is smoother. Is that just paint?
Howdy James dude, the rest of the hose has about ten coat of primer and paint, however, we try and match the best possible with finer grit acrylic stuccos.

It does seem way rougher than existing stucco and patch still looks a lil "proud" ……like it could have been floated lil farther down and maybe Santa barbara?…idk I am finish carpenter by trade (but do stucco) and have keen eye for small details
Kirk, love ya dude, but why not skim with mud, float, then paint since there is so much (paint) over existing stucco. Also, I know your a Stucco pro’s pro, but why do you never use plastic float like what’s used in Efis for finish for fine med or worm.
Anyway, love ya bro. Hot walls are tough to match, I learn from you every time your on. Take it easy man. Daniel.
Greetings Daniel my fellow plasterer, hard plastic floats hold no water, so joints come out horrible, plus often with the sand, I'm handcuffed to buy at my material yards the finishes often looks like a worm finish.
Plus you cant clean your tools with a hard plastic float.
I have a few on my truck, but only pull them out for compressing the brown coat or worm finishing.
I have had these plastic floats for over 30 years, I bought them when I visited the UK, as I have never seen them before that time.
Cheers me friends

Love the video. I have found that its better to er on the side of fine rather than coarse…glad you went 30/30 in the end.
Evening Adam, had to, as I couldn't walk away with the look only a little bit better, sometimes I call the grits wrong too, especially if I haven't used the materials in many months.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. You guys are really good at what you do. Is what I meant to say. Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. I'm in the UK, I do a fair bit of interior gypsum based plastering or skimming we call it here. I do a small bit of stucco work (it's called rendering here) and have got so many top tips from you. They say good tradesmen are a pleasure to watch working and you guys are a real pleasure to watch working. Many thanks to you.
I want to thank you for your videos. I recently put in a new window in my house that has a stucco exterior. I have to say that I agree with your assessment that it takes years to learn the trade. I discovered that I am not a stucco man. I started with the trowel, but just couldn't get the mechanics correct. I ended up putting the mud on by hand to get it set into the lath and then coming back with the trowel to smooth it out. Watching your videos also showed me one other thing – whoever put the stucco probably wasn't much of a stucco man either. As soon as I took my bulldog to it, it started coming off in very large chunks. Lo and behold, the wire was pushed flat against the wall, not the slightest bit furred off the wall. It really had only grabbed the wire at locations where the wire lapped and only then because the wire against the wall basically furred the lapped wire. I made absolutely sure to fur the wire off the wall when I put on the patch. Did I match the texture? Uh…nope. Did I try? Um…nope. Just finished it with a good old hard rubber float to bring out the sand a little and left it alone (future plans to redo the exterior of the house), but I may try my hand at finishing for just shear fun if I can figure out which finish material was used. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing your experience. Just wish you did work in my area (central Florida).
Evening Joshua, you have a heart f gold and nerves of steel, very admirable.

Not related but you said in another video that you don't do the block/brick wall replacement. I am wondering why? If you know how you have the knowledge to do it & the tools. Wouldn't you prefer going over your own prep?

I want to remove my old wood sash windows and replace them with new windows. I had the house blasted and re-color coated with a skip trowel finish in 2016. What degree of color match can I expect?
