I am not big on Polyurethane caulk, I set thousands of windows and considered Polyurethane more or less junk, acrylic caulk seems to be much better in every way you just get get exterior or interior whatever. why you want to ask, well, Polyurethane when it gets dry it doesnt want to stick very good and can be peeled off very easily, acrylic caulk is a serious bitch to get off in every circumstance.
Sikaflex pro sticks like shit to a blanket.
Evening Mijemu, you haven't tried Sikaflex 1A.
I put back a brick wall in 15 minutes ten years ago with it. My neighbor's kids still walk on it.
To stick porous bricks back together takes some severe sticking power.

Why do they wait so long before paint?
Evening Lucas, the new cement plaster has a high pH when first applied, as it cures, the pH level drops.

Kirk, you know much about whitewash?
Evening Reconciliation, I know enough not to apply them or paint them on anything. As it means painting raw cement plaster on surfaces.
Teaching plastering do’s, don'ts and reasons why,

I have heard it is good to whitewash as it helps to neutralize acid erosion of concrete? Whitewash meaning hydrated lime and water. It disinfects, hence why farmers white wash their barns and can have dyes added so as to create a colored surface. https://youtu.be/4nXPrJRh8QM?list=PLFv-Kk00ym9MrZwehUStNL66ewQgUcsvY Let me know your thoughts please, it would be interesting to see a video on this topic sometime.

Hi mr Kirk nice work, so sad about the lunch, one question , which texture is better on smooth finish La habra or Merlex?
Evening AP design, I can't tell the difference myself,
As a rule I buy the Lahabra myself as they started doing business in 1926, and I have never had a failure with their cementitious finishes.

@william skrainski. Knowledgeable yes. From watching Kirks video's maybe. I just love watching a true journeyman such as Kirk in action.
Im a 3rd generation plastering contractor in Central Florida. Grew up and learned the trade in Palm Beach from my grand father and father. I started mixing in a mud box when I was 12 , worked up to apprenticeship then to journeyman.
Watching Kirk and family brings back some great memories as most kids now run from any type of work.
Cheers from Central Florida. Keep up the good work Kirk & Family !!!
Evening Mike, thank you, my fellow plasterer.
My kids love going to work with me, espashally Madeleine, she asks often Dad, "you got any work," as she likes the heavy hard work we do. No joke.

Kirk you can't make this stuff up! Jay should really be filming sooner. The little dog would have sent you way over a million views.lol Thanks for all you do.
I'm repairing an apt. In Queens, NY for my sister. The walls are buttonboard with a finish coat of plaster. There was a lot of peeling paint and bad patches from electricians, plumbers and landlords. I'm using your videos to better my skills which mostly come out of painting, drywall and patch work. The work looks similar to plastering but plasterers just have a much higher skill set. Its a back breaking grind but you make it look easy.
Good afternoon Avisitorhere, the reason I make it look easy is I dont mix my own stucco, Jason or my brother Luuuu does, if I tried to mix and apply, I would look like a fool, as it's way too difficult.
I'm just the man on camera, what happens behind the camera is what is really important.
Trust me, brother, I'm far from a one-man show, plastering is a team effort.
May all be blessed with peace, love with harmony.

Here it’s all Efis. Foam, foam and more foam.. oh ya, 5/8s concrete board. Sucks. I love stucco so much. So much fun to work with. 100 times the fun than commercial rasping for days and browning with grandmas shoe glue mud.

Good afternoon Daniel, thank you, my friend, I don't care for that system either.
The haircut, I went to a barber for the first time in about 5 years, he put a bowl on my head and cut around it.
No doubt it was called the bowl cut.

Mr. Kirk can you stop and start the scratch or brown coat on a wall over a couple of days if you don't have the man power ? Thanks Will.
Good afternoon William, yes, but make sure it's at a natural stop point, like the end of any wall.
Why? Good question, glad you asked, if you stop in the middle of a wall, then finish from this point on another day, you will get a cold joint, whats a cold joint in plastering term knowledge, If you apply your finish coat and its a color finish, you will see the line, this is called a cold joint.

@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you Kirk for that info and all of you're great videos.
Hey would you be able to do a video on replacing rotten or damaged weep screed? Literally can’t find anything anywhere
Greetings Jennifer, if they have rotted out that unusual, however, I have seen this, weep screed are galvanized so that they dont rust.
I have seen garages with no wood frame left as the water deteriorated them, it's just stucco holding up a garage.
Many of these will still last hundreds of more years just like that, just stucco.
You can leave them alone as the stucco will stay in place or break out 6 inches above then replace, you will open a can of worms if this is done so be prepared.

Hello Kirk I have another question, the windows on my ready to stucco house have 2" thick x 5" wide foam forms around them, I have stucco netting with rounded corners on all edges I can see this will take some time to do with my scratch coat, my question is can I scratch coat my windows first before I do my wall or does both have to be done at the same time, thanks for your time Kirk I would be happy to send you a check for this and the next 25 question, lol Will.
Greetings William, if it were my job, I'd plaster as usual, then order the foam molds and attach them afterward.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice
@Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. Thank you for the info.
Hello Kirk, I have a question about interior "plastering" using tape setting compounds like Durabond and Easy Sand by USG. You say to always use Plaster Weld or other bonding agents and you apply that over raw plaster and painted surfaces. My question is if a painted wall is primed with an oil based primer like Kilz Original, would that suffice as a bonding agent for the taping compound? Thanks
Greetings Dude, taping mud does not require a bonding agent, but I have not used taping mud for at least 30 years.
All of the fast setting gypsums such as easy sand or any of the veneer plasters do require a bonding agent.
Sure many people dont apply bonding agents, I do as I dont want any problems in the future years ahead with separation.
Get plastered like stucco
Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice
Kirk, I am using easy sand 90 minute gypsum compound, so can Kilz original oil primer sealer act as my bonding agent? Thanks
Howdy Dude, No, a bonding agent adheres plaster to painted surfaces, primers are used to prep a wall for paint, two separate materials, no paint primer will hold plaster or stucco, at least not for more than 3 to 6 months.
Peace, love, and harmony to all

I have 2 questions on the brown why don't you use mesh. Here in New Mexico it's mandatory. And why don't you have more videos on acrylic/traditional color finishes
Greetings Ramon, in my area, if a plastering contractor chooses to add fiberglass mesh to either the scratch or brown coat, he can do so, it's not mandatory.
We have many videos on acrylic and cementitious colored plastered finishes.

Hey Kirk, got a problem that I could use your opinion on, which is valued. Building Koi pond of CMU. Last coat will be Epoxy paint.
After block was finished, painted on Quickcrete bonding agent. Then cement plastered the CMU with mortar cement and sand, but added Bonding agent into the mix!
Came off in sheets! So…..chiseled all the cement plaster off, but the bonding agent is still on the CMU in the for of a rubbery thin membrane.
What do I do? Grind it all off?……or apply more bonding agent before the next coat of cement plaster??
@Thane David Wow! 90% water !! Who knew?? I will grind off the surface with a diamond cup and then acid wash the surface, then neutralize the surface with baking soda wash. A final pressure wash with 2600 psi should be good for just a good mechanical bond.
Appreciate the tip.
@Moss Witness That sounds like it'll definitely get the job done. Good luck
Moss Witness never add bonding agents in the cement. That’s why it peeled off.
Happy holidays Moss, no bonding agents should be added to stucco. The popular product, "Sika bonding agent," is used instead of water and more often for tile grout.
However, you added a bonding agent into the stucco that was mixing.
By adding a bonding agent in the mix instead of painting it on the basecoat or substrate, you render that bonding agent useless.
This will not usually affect the stucco's inability to adhere.
I believe you tried to stucco over a dusty or dirty wall or didn't have enough suction to the wall before when the new coat is applied.
This made for poor adhesion.
You must wet the existing basecoat, for the new stucco to adhere correctly.
I recommend removing the loose finish, then try a mechanical bond. This is keeping the base coat moist with a water hose before re-finishing.

never add into the mix it will do just what you said it did!
I've pressure washed the hell out of it. Do I acid etch it before the next coat of plaster?

Hi Kirk,
After an old house has been painter a dozen times , the stucco looks like mission finish. Can you recommend a product for patching prior to painting. The rapid set boxes in the store are 16/20 and too coarse.
Always a pleasure to watch you and your crew Kirk.
From an old UK Spread and hod carrier.
Tim
Happy holidays Tim, yes, you need to buy a cementitious finish product, La Habr sells Santa Barbera smooth mission finish.
BMI sells Marble, etc.
You want the 30/30 mesh sand, as the medium or 20/30 is too heavy, and, of course, you know that the rapid set is 16/20, which is the course's sand is too heavy or thick also.

Not to change subject here but looked at a 100 year old house in Detroit yesterday. Wood plaster lath walls and ceiling have surface cracks all over. Is 1/4” drywall best solution, going over existing? Thanks . I realize gutting is best……
Happy holidays Gary, change the subject, my brother, no worries. My home is a victorian that is 130 years old, with the same wood lath.
I recommend you do as I did.
Remove any buckling, apply a bonding agent over the wood lath and old plaster.
You can skim the wood lath with Diamond veneer basecoat, then skim-coat the complete walls with diamond Veneer finish coat.
I did not gut my interior as that would have been counter-productive.
The fact is all homes move with rain and time, will some of the cracks re-appear?
Of course, as it's not in no man's power to control the earth's movement.

I do have a question thoe. I power washed most the stucco off the front face of the house,(its has a skip trowel finish) but there are alot of cracks. Should I used a finish coat or a cement/base? I'm going to paint the house a different color when finished
