Hello, our faithful subscribers and plasterers around the world! 🌎
How to make your interior concrete foundation walls beautiful.
How to make foundation walls beautiful using stucco. We all know that nothing adheres to dust, dirt, or mold.
So before you decide to apply stucco to your beat-up foundation basement walls, you should pressure wash all the crap off the walls. It doesn’t have to be clean enough to eat off, but very clean. As your stucco is only as good st the surface, it’s applied to.
We also hit these foundation walls with a liquid bonding agent called Weld crete sold at professional plastering yards. They cater to quality materials for guys like me who have to warranty our work.
Next, you are ready to make your basement foundation walls beautiful, now you’re ready to stick your kids down there.🤔
Big TIP: You may also type in any question you may have on Stucco/Plastering issues on our channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it’s done. Then kick back, relax, and enjoy the show! 🍿
Oh yeah, don’t forget to save the world, like, and subscribe. It’s not only good karma, but It also makes you feel warm and fuzzy all over. 💃🕺🏻 😉

Oh dear…..that poor wood framing. Good job Kirk….but maybe hang a couple foot rip of plastic before you start with the water works. As a general contractor for 30 years I truly hate water…Lol. Looks great!

WORMS!! …… I laid an extension floor once …. knocked up the sand&cement by hand as owner had wheelbarrowed the sand onto their garden lawn – WITHOUT sheeting underneath …….

Of course I'd never LAUGH at such a serious situation 🙁

Is the product you mix with sand actually called stucco or do you use a mortar, like type S or N? Thanks

Someone needs a bump cap! Great video, you make it look so easy!
I have to do this to a large log building here in NW Wyoming this summer. Inside and out. Built by the CCC in the thirties. Sections of sill logs to be replaced as well as traditional mortar chinking. Will go check out Rapid-Set, looks like just the ticket. Thank you Kirk, you really helped me out!!
Is the product Rapid-Set Cement All?
Evening Horace, Rapid set makes, "cement all, this sets too fast for what we were doing.
Rapid set also sells stucco patch, which is user-friendly, you just add water. Tip, dont overmix, 3 to 5 minutes only.
In this video we were using Eisenwall, this cement plaster is only sold at professional plastering yards, then we add three times the sand to every one part of Eisenwall, FYI, "Eisenwall," is also manufactured by, "rap set." Used to be you needed to be certified to buy, "Eisenwall," but no more.
If interested, google plastering yards near me.

Kirk. First of all thank you for sharing your precious time and skill with the world. 26.47 you mentioned that Hanson Premium has lime in it. Does this mean you are buying Masonry Cement and not Portland Cement. For those who don't know there is a world of difference for applications for each. Thank you. Peace
Evening James, I'm under the impression both the mortar and the plastering cement by, "Lehigh Hansons," consists of portland cement and hydrated lime.
The lime serves as a plasticizer.

Shamalama ding dong boys. E Pluribus Unum. Man only lives one earthly life. We needed a preacher with the magical mystery tour of Rendering/Plastering! His name is Kirk. Like any one, it is easy to be cynical about his flow. But, man oh man. He is Led Zeppelin of rendering. Same as Mike Haduck mason in Pennsylvania. You are both are so great! Look at the sky and say THANK GOD for all of this and these OG gangsters of America. We are here doing it every day all day in many different ways. Sometimes you have to stop and watch a bad mother ……..
Scott Emmons you are in Midwest Missouri? I am in STL Illinois misery. Where are you all specifically? Great words. I am sure the work you are doing is great, because your words are great.
@Mike Hatzl LoL!! fellow missery'an – but really .. . .. . St. Louis is much cooler than the lowly west side. like; 250 miles closer to the East Coast coolness! and don't joust me back w the obvious: "but KC is 250 miles closer to the West Coast sublime!" simply – we both lost out on the surfboards & waves life gig. yup- just south of KC right on i-49. fair means for gratuitous lifestyle but i meant it when i complimented REW Material here in KC. if not for them most of this material gig would be for nothing. Kirk throws a lot of technical k'base into every video, but trying to find those unique trade names here in the Midwest is a miserable epic. i made a phone call. a cold call to some trades desk in California — a Lady answered & i plied her with my sorrowful predicament. Damn. she had it all down. in 7 minutes she had me 100% down on the mortars,the bags,the manufacturers & the names on those bags. a lucky strike. 2 phone calls later what were epic shutdowns were suddenly siphons of support. i never looked back after that day. you wrote a very cool post & it was eloquent in it's intent. your excellent skills inspired my mekanik's aspirations to pen a support in partnership. sweet stuff this life as gig can be.
Yes, but I live in Illinois, still. Not good over here. Would love to be in Kansas City.
I agree.

Hi Kirk. I am doing a bathroom remodel. I removed all the sheet rock except the ceiling. I am hanging the new rock tomorrow. I need to tape those joints at the wall/ ceiling joint. The ceiling has semi gloss paint on it. What type of primer or bonding agent should I use on the ceiling? I am hoping to get something from home depot or lowes. Doesn't look like I can get plaster weld until the middle of next week.
Can you recommend something?
Thanks
Evening Travis, new sheetrock needs mesh tape on all joints or seams.
here's where you lost me, "the ceiling has Gloss paint on it"
I dont understand is up and you painted it, or are you going to plaster it. if your going to plaster it, buy the Quik-rete bonding agent from Home depot.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc.
Thanks for the reply Kirk. It's a bathroom remodel. It was a complete painted bathroom before the tear out. I removed all the old sheet rock except the ceiling. The ceiling is still up. It's the old ceiling from when the bathroom was being used. It's painted, since it was a finished room.
I hung sheet rock on the walls. That's new bare rock. The ceiling is the original rock and it's painted from prior to the tear out/remodel. Now I want to attach the new sheet rock that's on the walls to the old sheet rock that's on the ceiling. The walls are bare new rock, the ceiling is old and painted.
I am looking for something that will make the tape in the seams stick to the painted sheet rock on the ceilings.
I have heard that plaster weld works great. But my local Ames plastering store has never heard of plaster weld nor have the ever heard of anything that would help insure the bond of plastering products, nor do they know why someone would want to use something that would help with the bond.
Anyways, suggestions on insuring that the taping compound sticks to the previously painted substrate.
Kirk how much does a stucco plaster get paid ?
Have you ever used a product brand ustucco? We were introduced to it at the world of concrete show. Would appreciate your thoughts.

I have a 100 year old stone/boulder wall that is uneven (approx 3" crevices throughout) and runs 8 ft high 100 ft around the perimeter of the basement. Most of the stones are painted. What can I do to get a relatively even wall and a finish that won't fall off the stones
Hello Mr Giordano ! I've been noticing that you are explaining now and then the term HYDRATION . I am not trying to be a ''wise guy'' but in order to help everyone understand i will explain. HYDRATION is a term that originates from YDOR ΥΔΩΡ and that is the ancient Greek word for Water . You will find it also in HYDRAULICS which is ΥΔΡΑΥΛΙΚΑ which is HYDOR and AVLOS (Water and Pipe) or in the word HYDROFOBIC ( Hydor and Fobos ) –> Water and Fear –> Not friendly to Water ! The Greek or better yet HELLENIC word for Hydration is YDATOSI (ΥΔΑΤΩΣΗ) and , as you have very well expalined means get something (anything ) even your Body enough Water, wet ! Thank you and as always Excellent Job .
Forget the psi, gallon per minute is what you are looking for. The best overall combo is 3000 psi 4 gallons per minute. The average house gives 3.5 to 4 gallons per minute…
Good tip brother, thank you.
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. the more water flow the better, I have a 4000 psi, 3.5 gallon per minute, and I have a 3000 psi 5 gallon per minute. The 5 gallon per minute has twice power with less psi.
Kirk good video, What stucco product did you use for that foundation? Thanks
8:00 Yeah brother masks are a psyop, a ritual
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. i hope you are being funny brother
Kirk needs his own show on cable TV.
Kirk, Maybe, hopefully you can answer this question. I have a Penna.home built in the 40's. I tore down some of the basement garage ceiling to insulate. The old ceiling is a 3/8 plasterboard material which the panels are 16" x 32". ( They actually used these throughout my home because at certain angles, I can tell where the joints are because the installers didnt level some area very well at all) Anyways, back to the garage. The drywall product in there is skim coated about 1/8" with what looks like cement ,(gray color) and it has the sandy texture you are doing here in this video. Its a very hard material. Im trying to figure out if it is actually a cement product , possibly used with a bonding agent? I need to replicate what was originally what was used back then. I noticed other homes in my old neighborhood have the same on their garage ceilings as well. The pieces I removed were pretty heavy compared to their size, making me think its a cement product. Thanks In advance!!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Hey Kirk, thanks for the reply! Do to the weight and looks of it, I thought it had to be some sort of cement. I 'll take tyour advice of the Structo-lite, but am curious to what it really is. Obviously Structo-lite wasnt around back then. lol Thank You!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. One last question. Can I just use 1 coat of structo-lite on the ceiling. What was already up there looked raw, meaning 1/8" thick, and not a smooth surface. It was evenly leveled, but it would draw blood if you somehow scraped your body on it. Just like a very course sandpaper. It also wasnt painted. Thanks!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. My goal was just to get it to closely as possible to match whats still up on the ceiling that I didnt have to remove. Its a tandem garage, approx 12' x 32'. As per paint and big box stores, I'll never buy paint from those places again. Painting isnt fun, so I prefer the actual paint stores (PPG stores, etc) The quality is way better, coverage is quicker, with less paint! So its worth the extra $$$ to get the job done sooner!
Hello mister, thank’s a lot for your videos. You’re a chief. That’s great. I’m a French stone mason, with a sort of cancer that stopped all my projects. So I look the other in work. That’s a kind of thing half sad, half full of hopes.
Your baseball kneepad are the great idea for protecting ! I certainly have a look for it, if I’ll work again. Please, yes…
Hi Sylvain, sorry to hear this, my fellow french mason, may the food you eat and drink send this mutation of the cells into the toilet where it belongs.
Best wishes, with treatment, or food.
