FYI, Greencor USA is not the only one coat stucco in town. Buy Rapid-set stucco, Quickrete, or Sakrete one-coat stucco, or any other cement plasters that are available. 🍺
In this video, I’m helping out on my son Jasons' project for the day, As plastering is a two-man job, and His uncle, my brother Luuuu, wussed out, so I volunteered my skill. We explain while showing my newest and best cement plaster, hoping that my son Jason won’t have to go to HD and load his own bags anymore.
There are many types of Stucco/Plaster/Render available, what are the different type of Stucco/Plaster, our plastering channel show them all.
Materials yards, such as Westside, Cal-ply, ABC and Sacramento stucco, and more, stock up as this Green Core, USA, is a good product for homeowners as contractors prefer cement plasters that we can add our own sand.
It’s great for both coats over stucco netting with wood substrates, and all kinds of bricks, or CMU blocks or changing heavy textures into smooth as seen in this video,
Note, I did go over a heavy skip-towel texture.
I have been in this stucco trade for more than 40 years, and this is a cement plaster that kicks ass. It’s even easy for the average homeowner to use.
It’s fluffy or sort of like whipping cream, an exceptional cement plaster for all your needs. You just add water. Can it get any easier?
BIG NOTE: You may also type in any question you may have on your Stucco or Plastering issues on our channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it’s done. Kick back, relax, and enjoy the show! 🍿

I will be sleeping when this comes on, Oldman rise early rest early, the guy I worked with inside we use fine sand and lime, outside we also use lime and sand but larger grained. We even lay brick using large amounts of sand and lime , 20 sand 10 lime 1 cement mason cement , there was a pit 70 mile or so away and we would go get the sand here sometimes it had a red color to it and a larger agrigate. Oldman even make us grind that sand up to powder and he would tint the finish coat. Have a good one
UK in the house
I learned some stuff from you cement guys but honestly I am tearing all that crap out of my house, lot of work, Replacing it with wood custom done myself, I did do a custom cement wall made to look like stone as much as I could, I did my cellar, one problem I had was with a fire box I built out of cement and cinder block and that thing is all cracking all over, I figure I built it with the wrong cement or I just have to patch it up constantly.
Here in New Mexico we have kivas which is like a firebox we have to use fire bricks and special mortar
@Mr Mukura, indeed it can expand and constrict. Like Lime plastering.
Uhm, I would marry the red head girl. Shes an angel.
no idea why i’m subscribed to this channel, only ever heard of stucco when homer simpson used the half assed approach to foundation repair with troy mcclure
I've always enjoyed watching your videos, my work reflects your guidance thank you so much..
Kirt and Jason, back in the 80's – 90's I to video my projects to give educational and fundamental information about product's benefits and benefits as a craftmanship, as a professional producer director editor doing local broadcasting network for Access Vision in Battle Creek Michigan. It was fun, now at times I take on small projects like stucco repair and plaster work that from time to time I need to review in order to satisfy my own needs to customers needs.. I still have my YouTube video accounts. It looks like your family are doing you justice in projecting the very best of quality you can do great job Kirt and Jason. Thank you again
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. your the best thank you sir..
Lou deserves his holiday, hehe.
So you can use this for regular stucco repair on house or does it have to be troweled flat.
Enjoyed the ramble even though I'm retired (recommended), good luck Kirk. U.K.
Missed your videos.. Keep up the good work.. Johnny cash.. Ive been every were man.. Ive plastered every wall man.. Keep it up Big guns..
I bought 20 bags of quickcrete from Home Depot last month and had them load it on my truck, I told them before I bought it they’d have to load it, they said sure…….it was like pulling teeth getting a guy up front to load it, they were super lazy.
They make concrete bags as large as feasible in order to save you ten cents on the packaging. The tradeoff is that you provide the labor, and the labor takes a lot of workplace injuries. For 20 bags? I'd rather have a tooth pulled, from a pain perspective. These guys are forbidden from tips, are paid nearly minimum wage, and often don't get health insurance.
If customers demand that they start stocking 20lb or 40lb bags instead of 60-80-94lb, loading gets a lot less painful. In the meantime, either covertly tip anybody that's willing to lift these generously, or hire your own laborer. Plenty of people do.
Thank you again for the video.
Awesome video as usual, señor! Material looks really nice. So if I wanted a super smooth finish on a heavy skip trowel, painted exterior surface, would I have to use weldcrete or could I use Lanco bonding agent before two coats of this greencore?
Great work guys, as always good information and very well explained thanks. Plaster on my friends.
You english act sooooo afraid.that mask is a joke those types don't even work
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. ok I had too give you some crap! My wife is from over there I have too give y'all and my in-laws a hard time! Here those máss is like a political sign.im a third generation . I do enjoy your videos!
The mask is a barrier between your mouth and everybody else. You're an idiot, you should be practicing your grammar and prepping for your next lockdown! Lol…
Watch out! Wearing knee pads can get you a DVT
I've learned alot about stucco watching your videos. Stumbling across the video showing how to remove the stucco from the embedded lathe wire without destroying the lathe and underlayment paper using a demolition hammer was primo. I grabbed my air chisel instead because my arm and hand strength is not up to the level of a stucco/plaster tradesman such as yourself. That sika poly sealant is the bomb…an expensive bomb. This inflation is getting out of hand
There's got to be the longest pair of San Francisco sneakers I've ever seen
Nice to see you Kirk! Besafe my friend
Kirk good job , you should announce baseball games !
xlnt info thanks for posting this
What do u use for drop cloth around the wall?
Kirk got your slag hammer? Slag is also in welding.
Slag material causes corrosion to cement what about it?
But great job kirk
Slag is pretty much silicate and metal oxides, the first can’t rust and the second is already rust. There shouldn’t be much more reduction to take place. I’m surprised it is pozzolalic at all though.
This looks like a Santa Barbara, but easier…? What about it’s strength, cracking? I gotta say, looks amazing!
buena enseñanza maestro así aprenden éxito saludos desde Perú
I really liked this video, the explanation of the material and the application was great. Would have never considered this product otherwise. Thanks Kirk and J
Kirk, (and J.) something like 15 years ago, I used an ultralite large tile format mortar on a a new wall, when I mixed too much. It literally spread like whipped butter (sanded whipped butter). It was white, waterproof, made the perfect texture, ws literally 2/3 the weight, cured hard, etc, etc. It's also lasted years of hard use in a bathroom too. Maybe this is similar? (maybe it's just old news…)
great vid Kirk from a plasterer (spread) in the UK.
Thanks for answering my question. I looked for a place to buy but unfortunately no one within 100 miles sells it here yet.
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. I think I may have watched every one of your videos and I’ve never even tried to stucco but this looks so easy, like doing drywall mud. I thought I would give it a try on some areas if my house that could use some touch up.
you can really tell your dad loves his trade, it shows. good job giordano family.
My man Kirk, great video! What would be your recommendation for an exterior plaster product that can provide an uneven but smooth finish to mimic the undulating white walls of a greek/mediterranean style home?
Thanks!
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Haha, I suppose so, maybe just lay the paint on real thick too. I'm exploring all your lime plaster videos as well…Great stuff as always, cheers from Bermuda!
As we say in Scotland the top of that wall was up and down like a hoers drawers lol
This is a great video. I searched and it seems the product is only sold in Florida and California according to their website. Home Depot’s website does not offer it. I’m in St Louis and sent them an email to check.
Kirk the Man….Thanksgivings for your reply. Much love to ya’ll and for all that you teach. You have taught me/us so much of a person is paying attention. As a home owner, I seem to be faking people out as a renderer which is a true honor. Thanks. I wrote the company on their contact and have yet to hear back. I had another project that your Stucco Flex video at the mall was an absolute gem for and I wrote them… and a person replied by 8:15 CST today. Hopefully this company will have a great sales and Tech team like Stucco Flex
thank you for sharing a new product, I look forward to a day when I have my own home and be able to apply this product and the help from your tutorials I'll be able to be my own boss!! Cheers!!
Would have liked to see a close up of the finish. All videos should have a few seconds to closeup look at the finish texture. Good job like always.
i totally concur! you watch before's but…what no finish??.. So Kirk, show us the finish!!
I found that rapidest setup very quickly too. It was also hotter out, in the 90s. I might have had half that time.
Hey Kirk! Wow great stuff, seems smooth I was seriously impressed when you put that third huge scoop on the hawk.. like you've been eating your Wheaties 🙂
I cannot buy this north east coast. Would you suggest different stucco.? Thx
Thanks brother- love structure lite- i be looking for the the product next time in box store.!
I would like to see how you mix this stuff up. I think that would be cool. Great demonstration.
Your walls and edges look like a snake . Why don’t you use straight edges ?
Hey Kirk hope all is well, I wanted to ask you, I have a new construction house I'm going to apply DeepFurred Chicken Wire/Scratch/Brown/Embedded Mesh Coat/ Smooth Coat, coming to total of thickness at 1Inch 1/4. Reason being so thick is to match the thickness at the joint of a tile being installed on half the house. Do you think there would be an unpleasant amount of cracking being so thick?
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Awesome, thank you so much for the reply Boss
I posted this comment onto a older video but realised it was a 5 year old video so thought I’d copy it to this one but added more into it so anyway my names Troy im 25 and I’m I’m an apprentice plasterer from Australia I really am getting a lot of Knowledge out of your video I live in Western Australia down the south in a city called Albany there only 4 plasters down here witch we all travel to all the smaller towns between here to Perth to work because the plasterers in Perth are to busy to do so and there’s also 2 apprentices here in Albany I am one of them and the other josh I work with is ending his term in December and moving to the better city Perth up north plasters are in the top 10 needed tradesmen in Australia where a rare breed but I love what I do and am really building a huge passion for it, i can’t wait for the many year to come and have my own apprentice one day and work for my self I’d love to see some videos about what brand tools and trials you use also iv been struggling to find good storage for my trowels and other tools witch are really pricie in Australia all the other plasters around my city use milk crates to store there trowel witch isn’t ideal when your paying in the hundreds for good Marshalltown trowel please if u could help out with good tool storage it would be amazing and I would love to see some videos about it please thanks for the great content keep it up
Great advices from profesionals! All best from Serbia, Kirk!
Hi guys great video as always. I’m a plasterer from the UK and love watching you and learning your products. In England we use obviously traditional sand and cement stucco but also OCR & Monocouche Render are these products you’ve used or know about?
I really enjoy your show the information the description & honestly the attitude
All the best from a rainy and cold England.
I am a lover of the mud.,too.(drywall) Your knowledge range is GREAT MAN it's a nice thing to listen & learn Kirk.This old dog likes new tricks.
Without doubt the coolest guy on YouTube.
All the best from a rainy and cold England.
Please can you tell me about stucco, I mean bit by bit a thorough information.. I have a front stone door facade,
Wish i had this last week lol! Upstate ny. Cant get anything cool. And depot and lowes dont carry… argh
Kirk, Thanks for the reply. But, for some strange reason, our local lowes and home depot do not carry one stucco mix. No eisenwall eventhough they sell rapid set mortar, which i use often… and, no quikrete or sakrete stucco mix even though lowes stocks a large variety of sakrete products, and hd quikrete. Three manufacturers they carry, three manufacturers that have stucco products, and not a single one available for purchase. There are a ton of crumbling stucco houses from as early as the 20s here… and, not one place sells a stucco mix. Sad….
Not carried by Homecheapo here in Maryland…
I use it all the time. South Florida good stuff
yeah man!!!! tampa, st pete says hi
@Thor Eric Good evening Tampa, St Pete.
wow! huge job and great looking tooo .. sup JASON! great job guys
Another great video!
I see you have the back strap on I gather you have problems with your chin aswell
it's about the tip about the green car cuz I have a garage I was stuccoed and somebody did some patchwork on it that didn't turn out very good so I want to just kind of smooth it all up this summer I think I'll use that
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thanks Kirk I love your videos you're definitely a man that knows what he's doing it's nice to get tips and pointers from a professional and not somebody that thinks they know what they're doing have a safe new year so I was going to use a bonding agent I was going to pressure wash my garage use a bonding agent and then use that stuff think that will work okay? I'm also going to paint it later so I'm not really interested in a color coat or anything just an amateur trying to make it look better is all
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. thanks Kirk I really appreciate your help if the weather ever warms up here in Iowa which will probably be April I'll let you know how it turns out love watching a professional do his job thank you
cool beans daddieo.
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. hate to bother you again Kirk but as far as a bonding agent does quikrete bonding agent work good I see yours is a blue one and I tried to buy the green core plaster at home Depot they show it but they don't offer it I can't order it in I can't buy it in the store but yet it's on their website do you know where else I could buy that thanks again
Kirk seems to be getting younger as time go on.
LOL, I wish, thanks brother.
