[@diegobautista8506]

Hi Mike, I have a question for you about the basecoat: what is right mix for the base coat ? Can I do my own mix with portland, and san ? if so what you recommend is the right mix ? Do you use lime at all for the base coat or not ? Thank you very much Mike for your help !!

[@samel3915]

Basecoat comes in a drymix and wetbase. For begginers I would recommend drymix just add water accordingly to skill level of plasterer. I would not recommend trying this if you have no experience as it will cost you far more to repair than to hire from scratch. Courtesy of plast-all stucco systems Inc.

Im a union plaster and i wouldn’t use my trowel to even out the base coat I would use a slicker and this system I would do a two coat system due to weakness of one coat of base coat

[@averageguy7641]

Why do not tell use the spec for the fiberglass mesh? How can we know what to buy?

[@Madafuknjoker]

Madera Roja de la Secoya the supplier that sells you the product should tell you what kind and how many square feet you get to the materials and ever prefer you to some professional people that live doing this type of work. if you would like to know more about what kind and would like to talk to a supplier. just let me know

[@cecchinistucco9443]

I am using sto standard mesh 48'' wide comes in 1 rool that covers 600 sq ft

[@austinjay5915]

Madera Roja de la Secoya usually well this is how our union jobs are say you use sto or senergy or whatever you use all the material from waterproof to foam to mesh to base and or finish usually all same compamy

[@ramonmolina8070]

Fiberglass stucoo mesh

[@Faruk651]

No back wrap ??? Otherwise good demonstration of doing base coat. I apply a consistent coat on the eps foam before applying the mesh, never leave thick spot because if you do, you will end up trying to squeeze it out under the mesh. So cover the eps foam with a nice consistent coat, apply your mesh and apply another coat to cover up the mesh. I do not apply thick because I always come back for a skim coat after it cures.

Is this STO ,BTSB base coat???

Great video, maybe all the negative Nancy’s should post a video themselves so we can critique them

[@jamieapplewhite690]

no back rap at top ..sorry

[@MrUnlimitedrobert]

The installation is not correct; There should be a back-wrap of mesh at terminations.

[@jaymartin5434]

I noticed the windows weren't back wrapped

[@warrenbrecht1113]

Yes STO tell u to back wrap at soffits and bottom and window

[@MrUnlimitedrobert]

@@warrenbrecht1113 All EIFS companies require to be back-wrap

[@sherifnabil9663]

@@MrUnlimitedrobert I don’t get why drainage plane is required. EIFS is the drainage plane. If you take care of your window, door, and roof flashing details it should work fine.

[@Danny-ql2ep]

What’s back wrap? I’m a Brit mesh over the corners?

[@mickeymccrystal2631]

Dude you would cost me money

[@hawkintrowelin4791]

Applicators such as this fellow are the reason there was a sharp decline in EIFS projects over the past ten years or so. You cannot cheat the system and expect it not to fail: No backwrap at top of wall, no backwrap at window openings, no backwrap at wall penetrations, mesh was barely overlapped at the window opening (1" or less), did not double wrap corner at window opening. It's like building failures into the wall. As an industry we need to go back to training and certifying EIFS applicators or it may never reach it's market potential again.

[@chinhvannguyen1685]

Can I don't use mesh interior house?

[@joyride20001]

I have been doing this trade for 18 years and don't like back wrapping and there are many reasons for that i like wrapping from outside going in around windows. When you have the back wrap mesh install when sanding the corners you always cut through or damage the wrap making it hard to get a nice edge. Second when you base coating the wall base coat that falls get stuck in the mesh which make it hard to clean so you have to cut it off and wrap it from outside going in. The point is if your styrofoams is not install strong snd ry right then back wrap won't hold it secure

[@Vannata2023]

Hawkin Trowelin you both idiots lol

[@sherifnabil9663]

Just take care of the flashing details at openings and roof and you’ll be fine. No need to back wrap or tyvek drain wrap and all that stuff

[@jamieapplewhite690]

making more money. with no back rap in the way an also weak edges Mr professor

peice of advice from one stucco guy to the other... u should always wear cotton gloves , once that cement dries on ur hand it's gonna be hard to get off

[@pastorkenjohnson5489]

Cecchini Stucco someone punched holes through out my dryvit system where do i buy the materials from to get it fixed?

[@CountryScroller]

Nah basecoat washes off easy with skin to skin rubbing in water. The worst to get off is liquid vapor barrier. In this case he is using Sto so it’s gold coat. Don’t let that dry in your beard. Talk about painful getting it out
