Basic home repairing of exterior insulation holes in stucco walls
Great video and advice for homeowners considering this kind of shot-in insulation.

Thanks for showing more float techniques ! Peter
Does the manufacture of sinkaflex support your use of their product as shown in your video? Is his correct?
The fuck you are talking about lady? say thank you for the video and the free knowledge the dude is providing. Any use of a product on his video would be considered a free advertisement for that manufacturer.
Seriously, some people…
Howdy Mike, thanks for the shout out,
Best wishes and have a great day!

Howdy Susan, the methods I use to show folks are techniques I have learned in my last 30 plus years in the field. Whatever method I choose for a certain repair I must guarantee to my clients for the long run. I would advise anyone who wishes to repair any project to go online and do their own research so that old kirk does not get yelled at for showing my particular systems.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Hi Kirk, thanks for the stucco lesson. I'm gonna go make my house not look like the poka-dot home now. Keep making great videos (this is what Youtube was meant to be) and take care.
Thank you Tommy Lee, Jason and I will try and keep them coming.
Cheers!

I have 2 golf size holes, it's empty no "net" wire thing it's a hole. can't just apply patch can I? also if I don't fix it will it get worse from rain/sun etc?
Okay then dude, can your balls fit into the holes? kidding brother, you walked into that.
Not sure what you have but if they are just empty holes with no sheathing and just studs you can spray expanding foam in them when the foam expands past the outer stucco you can shave them flush then stucco over this foam, or you can break back properly from stud to stud than lath and plaster as usual.
Cheers,

awesome thanks for the tip. I guess I get the foam from lowes but what's it called? thanks for all your helpful vids. save a lot of poeple a lot of money!
Howdy okay dude, there are a few expanding foams companies that sell this stuff, I believe Dow is the main seller.
Cheers,

i just drilled over 100 hole in my stucco for insulation.. is it a good idea to use the stucco cut out ?? its about 1/2 to 1inch thick.. or what would you recommend?
Evening Miguel, I would buy rapid set from from Home depot, you just add water, however don't overmix, read the bag and you're on your way, Cheers, kirk giordano Rendering
Wouldn't it be better to drill the holes from the inside of the house? Drilling hundreds of holes on the outside of the house just seems like a bad idea. Unless you have somebody like you that knows what they're doing, it looks like you could have a lot of leaks. If they did it from the inside, then you wouldn't have to worry about leaks.
I'm not an expert, but am about to have insulation blown in. Interior holes can apparently be cut with a hole saw and re-used after hole is backed up with foam, etc. Some of the problems on interior method are that all furniture must be moved away from exterior walls, and everything covered because of dust. I may test my 1945 pre-drywall plasterboard for asbestos also. I will probably opt for interior, not enough confidence in blending stucco properly. My stucco patching skills are not great, but thanks to Kirk and company I did a decent job patching after window installation. These guys are great, love these videos!
I love when people say they did union work. Union dose not mean better
I bet this guy does a great Jimmy Stewart impression
Kirk, my contractor filled the holes with "something" that are at the same level of the stucco and painted over it. Now the painted surface expands and cracks so the wall has some small bumps and cracks. What are the proper procedure to restore the surface?
