I don't know why this ended up in my feed, but I watched parts 1 and 2 for no reason. Good job guys.

[@pandaplastering2466]

lol this is soo funny. thanks.

[@thomasodetinape4180]

I once took a beating for watching the garbage men work when I was 6. Needless to say, Id take one for watching these fellas work too. Its worth it. Great job!!!!

Same here and I just subscribed as well

[@susankaplan7936]

I'm a 78 year old woman thinking about plastering a shed. I cannot express how much I love your videos. Why don't more people choose careers like this.. if they like to work outside, with their hands, doing artisan work? Great job; great video.

[@j.wright5918]

We do it really similar to this here in Mexico except y’all forgot the caguamas!

[@robertcontreras9175]

Hopefully it stays this nice and does'nt end up with some bs gang graffiti on it.

[@vsanc0133]

Vatos Locos!

[@missinformed4269]

Seriously professional. How these guys can work back and forth on each other’s work without having the wall look different in spots is most impressive.

[@cccccc4532]

Female plasterer here from San Diego. Your guys do a good clean job. Keep it up. I'm trying to retire, but its hard to let go after 30 years of doing this kind of work. Its an art to me but my hands and back are tired.

[@rl9808]

Are you local 200?

[@jaclynrachellec]

I'm in San Diego too and looking for a good plasterer for some work, would you happen to have any good recommendations?

Why even mention you're female?

[@frankflores5931]

Big props to you and your crew. That is a great looking job. When those of us watching the video think we can do the same thing at our home it's because you guys are pros and you make it look easy which I know it's not. :-) Keep up the good work. Thanks for the video.

[@musk4mars116]

Martin makes it look effortless which is the sign of a skilled craftsman.

[@jeffclinton1482]

Very nicely done! Looks fantastic, and you kept the work area clean. Says a lot about the pride in your work!

[@bullpaxton2001]

A clean functional workspace is always reflected in the final product! Love to see it.

[@jordansmallwood4605]

Man I just did a brown coat last weekend in preparation for the final coat this coming weekend and man my hand is sore. Props to the guys who do this on the regular, hard work!

Very nice...now show us the graffiti video 🤣😅✌🏄‍♂️

[@pocatellocowboy1077]

I have to tell you, I never dreamed I could actually enjoy a video like this so much. You guys did a fantastic job in every way, and I loved feeling like I was part of your "team". Great job! I'm subscribed!

[@pandaplastering2466]

I appreciate you!!

[@jenniferr2057]

You guys are a well oiled machine! You work together beautifully!

[@ronfenton]

Great video provided needed information in clear direct wording at appropriate times without extra jabber, and, the let us watch and observe; a comforting style for new DIY.

[@johnc6343]

Brother what did u do? I saw Miguel, Martin, Jose, Roberto, Fernando, even Canelo Alvares in that bitch but no u lol

Thanks panda for your heart up my name Javier from Miami, this my first project to do for some body thanks one segen

[@leroyperalta5238]

Great work fellas!!! How much do you guys charge for a 1500 sgft house. I am located in corona

[@tomdonahue8524]

you guys are so neat an covered everything nice. In business 35 yrs nice money walls there

[@gdmax1336]

How much does this cost per sqft?

[@ciscokid1223]

Sick ass work. Great job on the videos too. But man Martin is a beast . So are the rest of your crew. Beautiful work.

[@jake-hy2zb]

Great work guys. I'm really impressed with every part of your job. You are true professionals. I am also very impressed you are sure to use your guy's names. Without them you don't have a business, without you they don't have work. Class act.

[@ronfenton]

New here, if it was sand style, would to do two coats also?

[@LF12468]

You crew doesnt look very diverse. You don't get trouble from the authorities for not having white and black workers?

[@rl9808]

I was one of the last remaining white guys in local 200 when I retired in 2019.

[@mannymartinez1426]

Clean work. Most stucco guys leave concrete and stucco drops everywhere

[@ronfenton]

Confused on the bag of 'plastic cement' to 19 shovels sand? Is that the name of the product at home Depot? Plastic Cement? I see lots of "Surface bonding cement" but you just add water?? Thank you if can clarify

[@jasonwilson9406]

Looks great man! Respect for all the hard work from the crew.

[@marketbuy]

So how much will this project cost the owner?

[@tesorosdelmundo]

Hi I’m you suscriber, Why I’m getting bubbles in Santa Barbara finish coat? Gracias por la respuesta.

[@tintinpiggy2997]

How much was this $ …? And Why did you Stopped making KZbin videos

[@bastucco14f7]

Muy buen trabajo siempre veo tus vídeos Aquí en Oklahoma es algo diferente el finish coat por que tiene que ser acrylic y para enmallar también es diferente pero el acabado es lo mismo

[@mattjaramillo3065]

Thanks for the great videos. On part one when you explained how to mix the brown coat are the bags of plastic cement 80 or 94 lb bags? Here where I live they sell it in 80 lb bags. So not sure what the ratio would be for that?

[@HectorGarcia-ry9mp]

Watching this because im tired of just being the helper/chalan i never get a chance to practice since im always busy mixing or cleaning

[@ward26102]

You and your crew put a beautiful finish on that block wall. True craftsmen.

[@YankeeinSC1]

How come all of these guys have hispanic names? You seriously need a diversity implementation czar on your HR team. :) Seriously... I wish I could hire such professionals in my area!!!!

[@andiegomes2764]

I’m trying to hire someone your videos look good can I get a price ? I’m near Inglewood area.

[@mvilla1976]

Great 👍🏼 work and great commentary.....hate those videos that just run without any type of process or techniques.

[@ronfenton]

When you say 3 passes with the trowel, that is only the final process of trowling, correct. You are not counting the the first and second application of stucco.?

[@JW-lo2bh]

Great video that I'm going to show to my pool contractor. One wall of our pool is exposed and has had stucco applied to it. It looks like a 3rd grader did the work and I'm fighting the contractor, demanding that the stucco be reapplied. Can I get you to come to Texas to do some work for me!!

[@samueladams584]

How do I prepare a older cinder block home for some amateur stucco attempt on the bottom 2 rolls of blocks ?

[@19993gt]

Nice job bro, do you usually coat smooth with out mesh and poly? I noticed a few pebbles while you were brown floating. Did it give you any trouble on the final pass with the trowel? Ill make the helper scrape that wall systematically 😂😂 that’s just me tho. I Can’t stand a small rock hahaha

[@bigdikannonannon152]

Outstanding bro!...no lazys on your crew

[@chadadkins7951]

does the process change if ur trying to stucco a painted block wall? does the paint need to be removed first?

[@cutweldngrind]

I cant even spread butter evenly on toast bread, great video....enjoyed both videos.

[@javieralvarez68]

Martin and Miguel are masters and artists. Can't find a machine to do this job the same way. Jaime will get there, watch the masters.

[@borizh]

Nice job.. The only detail I would add is that smooth-troweled surfaces are more prone to show cracks and imperfections, which get more exaggerated depending on the light source and angle shining on it.

[@pandaplastering2466]

I Agree

[@em--draws]

especially over wood lath and 3 coat

[@rl9808]

Looks best the first year, then aging starts. Especially if there is soil behind that wall.

[@TheSocalHandyman]

The guys working on this and their names remind me of all my uncles. Hahahahaha looking great guys.

[@zhar511]

Why is it different colors after it dried? Did the added water from spray bottle change the mix?

[@elvatoloco5460]

El compuesto ya Viene con el Color en Seleccion? Puede uno hacer la orden solo para añadir Agua?

[@vasquez1024]

What's it cost to do this? 50' of wall..... please and thanks

[@JOSUECISNEROSHR]

Hey but you didn't show the product that you use for it

[@drewd7824]

I loved the video and subscribed. I want to become a GC/developer for my self so trying to learn a little about everything so I can start doing this on my own properties. Thank you.

[@lukesanchez]

I’ve tried to use the la habra Santa Barbara stucco, but it looks nowhere near as smooth as this stuff! Is there any aggregate in this stucco?

[@pandaplastering2466]

No same stuff it does take some skill to get it that smooth

[@devoncarter9062]

Hi , I checked online for that spray bottle I'll need for this smooth finish and came up with a 'Chapin 1003: 48-ounce Farm and Field Handheld Pump Sprayer'. It might be a lookalike, but is that the pump sprayer your actually using in this video ?

[@joleeand3]

Hello! How can I contact you to smooth coat my house? Thank you Panda Plastering!…I just looked you up and see that you do not service the North Oceanside area. Can you refer me to the right stucco provider in my area?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Sorry I don’t any service providers in your area

[@toddoren3730]

Excellent job! How do I achieve a smooth finish with color movement in it? Meaning, some color variations to create a cloudy effect? Sort of like limewash. Any help is appreciated!

[@sinfalacias2009]

Ellos si son profesionales.They really seem like professionals at stucco work.

[@artguitect]

Spraying it down with water some after placing the stucco so it doesn’t dry too fast and crack?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Not necessarily crack. But to achieve a nice smooth finish. The water does help

[@MSTR-DTH23]

What would you charge for a job like this? Two days and 3-4 experienced guys each day I'm guessing around $3000-$4000 total not including material

[@Hi.Im.Levi.]

Stumbled on this video. Local boys! Hell yeah

[@sophiathe380sl]

Great video. I hired some guys and they are telling me that it’ll 100 percent crack. All smooth finishes crack. They said if they go with acrylic, it’s more expensive but flexible and won’t crack. Another option is to go with 20/30 but more popcorn than I want. I’d appreciate your thoughts. Thank you!

[@donmerrimon141]

I have a brick home. Will the process be similar?

[@thankgod3786]

Hi bud. Im a rookie here. I have no background, but this whole time I've been hearing you need a three coat system for walls. Since ill be using cinder/hollow blocks - would you say a two coat system (brown) and then the (finish) is safe and sufficient?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Yes

[@randall7362]

Great video, I want to stucco my house, It was only painted over, .makes the house so cold in the winter, I don't want to drill into the house to put chicken wire in it. So I'm thinking this is the best way. Thank u.

[@tealkerberus748]

Nice work. What happens when some idiot comes along with a can of spray paint? Will it clean off, or do you have to paint over it?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Paint or try fog coat

[@maxslomoff]

Real nice work How do you make sure it doesn’t get hairline cracks in the smooth finish? Are hairline cracks always going to show up in smooth finish?

[@jimmyb2669]

You guys are skilled. Nice work👏👏👏👏

[@verohandymike]

Good video, but someone who does not know how to do it still won't know the finer points, such as waiting for the coat to reach just that point of dryness so you can trowel it. Too wet and you'll be making more work for yourself, etc.

[@2299jsimon]

OK, this is definately not DIY thing... there is serious skill and knowledge involved.

[@jorgemeza3267]

Will this smoothing process work placing over painted existing stucco on my cinder block wall ? What tools were used to do the smooth finish ?

[@swoodward9792]

Thank you friend. This was very helpful.

[@georged822]

I wonder how much a job like this costs per square foot in Los Angeles? I got an ugly block wall I’d like to be smooth

[@ocfilmsdotcom]

So quick question. I had someone do this on a small wall but the color is off and I want to redo it myself. Can this smooth stucco go on top of already smooth finish? Is it possible?

[@josephsilveira8440]

The sprayer will cause color imperfections blotches we never use spayer on intregral color especially darker colors believe me thousands have

[@yolandamercado6721]

Quedó brutal. This is an excellent job.

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

Very well done. I'm wanting to stucco my house with half stucco on the top part of the wall and the base done with real river stones to give it that country cottage cozy look. As it sits now, I have speckled rocky stucco on the top part, then some wood boards, then below it's old stone cover for the foundation look. It's an older home about 50-60 years old, so it needs a serious update. What is the stucco mix I should get to prep the wall and what is the stucco mix for the finish? Can I just go over the old stucco, since it's on there pretty secure and then fill in the bottom part with paper and wire, then stucco that part? And for where the stones will go, can I just do a scratch coat of concrete mix and then apply my rocks?

[@rl9808]

If your old stucco has paint, use concrete glue, then stucco.

[@denoscott3748]

What kind of trowel are they using?

[@richardgbensonjr]

Amazing videos! Can you recommend a good stucco company in Phoenix?

[@rolandsaludares694]

What would you have charged for that job ?

[@sergioduarte2649]

Cool video, thanks dude!

[@felixsuy9636]

Which material do you used and where did you buy

[@Olmosproduction]

Hi how can I put a different color over a done smooth wall because I didn’t like the color ?

[@fordtrucklover90280]

very professional work!

[@mathewmadott2595]

What’s the difference of putting the first color coat you floated if the vase coat is floated straight already

[@FinalWordTattoo]

All the other commenters have 4 numbers after there names like they were paid for..

[@CarlosPoncephoto]

can this be done to any brick wall? I have a brick fence but the brick is a lot more round and bumpy.

[@darwinperez260]

How can I get in contact with this company?

[@FugaConManolo]

This is how I want my house to look. So you can add any color to the stucco for the final result?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Yea

[@robinaskitchenfoodfoodandm1997]

Does stucco come colored or do u paint it afterwards? My first time doing a retaining wall.

[@pandaplastering2466]

You get to choose the color. In the stucco color chart pretty cool no painting needed

[@simplyhandy2769]

Does the trowel have to be magnesium to get super flat? Nice work btw

[@EJfromNYC]

Thanks for the tutorial and explaining the mix that you use, I hate when people don't say what kind of mix they're using.
