We’re sharing some knowledge about how much of the falling Interior ceiling to remove, and then how to re-plaster it.
Note: Most times there is no need to remove the entire ceiling.
These joint compounds come in 20-pound bags of dry powder.
Yes, you have to mix with a drill in clean buckets.
Names of the most common joint Compounds are Westpac Fast Set or USG Easy Sand in this video: • Joint compound for dry... 2:26.
I show the two types of gypsums, Westpac and Easy Sand.
Personally, I can't feel or tell the difference between either one.
Keep in mind, that you can also you Structo-Lite, or lime basecoats with lime finishes, as in the videos below.
One of the most common causes of a buckling ceiling is movement or vibrations. This can be caused by slamming heavy wood doors or fastening hanging swings to the ceiling joist under the stucco.

I had a painting and repair business for 20yrs. I repaired many ceilings almost the same way you did. On really rough ceilings I sometimes would locate the ceiling joist and fasten 1 x 3 boards and then hang new 3/8" drywall on the ceiling. Taped and finished and then would paint it for them if they wanted. When repairing areas of ceilings and walls I prided myself on matching the textures on them. There's a talent to it and you have it keep up the great work!! It wasn't always about the pay but just seeing ppl so happy and surprised of how well the finish matched the exsiting. It really made me feel good. The best advertisement is word of mouth.

So many steps for such an easy repair. I have been a plasterer for over 30 years. I have never used any sort of "lightweight" plaster or mud mix. I have always used the hard Durabond "brown bag" it use to be pink with horse hair. Also, I see that you did NOT lap the mud between the lath. It is in my practice to Lap the mud through the gaps in the lath so that the plaster goes behind the lath and "hook" onto the back of it. Creating a stronger bond. Just a preference. Kudos on the video.

I did a similar size and type of ceiling repair a few years ago. I chose to install screws around the perimeter in the plaster that was going to be kept, just to make sure it didn't continue to separate from the lath. The screws, with a 1-1/4" washer, were countersunk into the plaster so they could be filled after. Some screws hit the joists and some just into the lath. The patch is now invisible, stable and still holding. I remember my neck aching for a couple of days. lol

I once had the outer walls of my house redone. The plaster guy that showed up was an old fat, short Italian guy with no shirt, a big tanned belly, missing teeth. a big smile and a bald tanned head. I thought the plaster company had sent some loser until the guy started to hand texture the walls in an almost effortless manner. It was beautiful and mind boggling. My Italian Plaster Guy was obviously an artist and impressed me just like Kirk in this video. It's not a job, it's an art.

[@petergambier]

Nice fine work standards as usual Captain Kirk. There is one thing that i like to do before I slap any new stuff on and thats to give the edges of the old plaster a spray of clean water and then go around the edges, just like you did, and push in the new stuff so that it helps to strengthen the new stuff to the old. Like I said before on other posts I much prefer using the lime putty mortars and plasters because you have more time to play with it as it's just so versatile as well as less expensive. Love and hugs from the UK to you and the gang.

[@petergambier]

I was recently playing with some new lime mixes and on one panel of wooden laths I slapped on a haired 3:1 sea sand & lime and with the remaining mortar, on another panel, added some molasses and sawdust to the sea sand and lime. This was because I had been reading Millars book on Lime published in about 1890, it's a fascinating read about different mixes including the 1st experiments using cement. As expected the 1st panel was really fragile and useless, but the mix with the molasses is really strong and has set really well. I have even stuck some old iron nails in both panels to see if any rusting occurs, this is because when working on exterior stuff you have to use stainless steel screws and nails. I was also looking at cement mortars where glass balls were added to the mix and you get interesting light shows with that. My poor wife's eyes glaze over when I talk about lime and yesterday we met our new neighbours, and in their case, he is a cement specialist and his wife's eyes glaze over when he talks about cement, so there we all were, sitting out in the garden, drinks in hand, me talking to him and my wife talking to his wife and we all got on so well because his wife works with problematic teenagers as does my wife, what a small world. He also also worked for many years in different foundries traveling all over the globe to some really out of the way places because of his knowledge on foundry dynamics.

[@MikeWitmerNatureJournal]

I know, I have mentioned this before but that looks a bit sketchy. That is a lot of weight on that flexible metal. And 20 minute mud put on that thick will take a while to dry. I would just go with drywall screwed to wood and finish with fiberglass tape and quick set. Less chance of cracking and just as fast. I do these repairs all the time. Mine are flawless and zero callbacks. To each his own.

[@huejanus5505]

I do the same. They make 1/4” and 3/8” drywall which works great for a strong base to plaster on.

[@davidfrankel9267]

Isn't wood lath?

[@SAUCE206]

Yeah I would go with drywall and fibafuse as well.

[@nicholasadams4198]

Lids always dry fast. The old wood keys suck the moisture out of that hot mud. That is a rock solid repair. Drywall sucks. Roof leaks, water intrusion, drywall gets wet and it's ruined. It falls through the screws, turns into a smelly mold farm. Plaster is so much better.

[@randythomas3478]

The original plaster weighed much more that the 20 minute quick-set.... That said, the quick-set doesn't dry...it is a heat cure chemical process. I've been in the business over 45 years. This repair is most excellent. This is also approved on historical buildings too. Drywall patches are not. P.s. this guy is also a pro.

[@karlambrose261]

I'm a little surprised that you would use drywall "hot mud" over wood lath and suggest to others that this material is even remotely applicable to this type of repair. Setting type or any type of joint compound is not a product that will be strong enough to bridge over the gaps in the wood lath, especially in an earth quake prone area. Why wouldn't you use Struccto Lite directly over wood lath ,or even better, with wire lath added, and still better with added micro fibers? Or even use blueboard provided there's enough depth to existing old plaster?

Karl Ambrose Couldn't have said it any better, I have 23 years plastering experience and I've been sitting here with my jaw in my lap. Not to mention troweling it into the lathe the wrong direction. No interlocking when you skim it sideways. I mean plaster Weld is good, but maaaaan. I fix about 3 of these a year that someone has done the same thing. This mud is good for patching something the size of your head or smaller.

​​@@aol11thats what its meant for, just drywall patching. And the amout of time on the bag basically equals the size of a patch.

So let me get this right: a historic ceiling with lath and breathable lime plaster and all he has to do is a like for like repair using the usual 3 coat traditional lime plaster system yet he chooses to use an inappropriately modern product. I hear the sound of clinking spurs.

[@A.S.P.R.]

USG patching plaster….made for the repair by USG. So, perfectly fine. Plus, using lime plaster is not beginner friendly.

[@redwood6737]

First coat should be structolite or gypsolite followed by second coat Keencoat or Diamond light. A two coat process no tape needed around the edges. I've done it this way for over 40 years. Can't even tell it was patched when I'm done.

Greetings American Plastering, beautiful advice Getting plastered with Kirk Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice

[@StuccoPlastering]

Greetings Redwood, I wish I could say you have been doing this longer than me but unfortunately, I can't, damn. structo lite is foolish overkill for this hole patch but can be done if a fella wishes to spin his wheels. FYI, it matters little how many coats are applied as long as the desired thickness is achieved. This advice is for homeowners. 1 coat to 10 is fine as long as you fill the hole true and plumb. Getting plastered with Kirk Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice

[@imnotworthyenough7469]

That's not plaster

[@A.S.P.R.]

It isn't lime plaster. It is gypsum patching plaster made by USG for the purpose of repairing plaster. I've used it for 30+ years. Works fine, but I will use structolite to fill in large areas, cause it's less expensive AND at that point you aren't going to get it to dry overnight anyway.

[@imnotworthyenough7469]

Do you use mesh tape when you patch a hole like that? I have been plastering for 20 years myself.

[@A.S.P.R.]

@@imnotworthyenough7469 You mean a repair like what Kirk was doing? I would use mesh tape around the edges between the old and new plaster AND I would anchor the old plaster around the edges with plaster anchors to keep it from moving. Otherwise, it is prone to crack between the old and new plaster sometime in the future. Imho.

This is incorrect and not a professional repair. I hate being critical, but "rendering" means you mix a loose fiber reinforced mortar and push it up in and form a 3/8 in bed. That should dry 24 hours. Then finish it with plaster of paris or a thin runny gypsum mix. A gypsum base is going to start falling out with the tiniest vibration. Trucks driving by, etc.

@@StuccoPlastering I do actually have a couple questions for you. 1. Can you mix 20 and 90 minute compounds to get 55minute? 2. The 2x2 plaster ceiling area I need to repair has some bubbling from past water damage (likely mold). I watched your video on neutralizing mold and blasting with a pressure washer. What would you recommend for a bedroom ceiling to keep mold from getting airborne? Spray bottle with bleach/water?

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@holamateo Good evening, my friend Holamateo. The question you ask will be in our video uploaded a day or two before this new year's eve. Soooo for now, I will say if you want 55 minutes to buy the 40-minute joint compound, the funny thing is if you use dirty tools to mix 90-minute mud, it can set in 15 minutes. Okay, this answered your 55 minute set time question.🍻 To neutralize mold, use acid-friendly stuff such as white vinegar in a spray bottle, or you can use Clorox bleach too, put in a spray bottle, add some water and spay away, wear a mask as bleach will make you cough out that toxin, that's normal. That's just your immune system saying, "dude, what the f@ck are you inhaling," I got to get rid of it now by coughing it out. Stop it! Lastly, when you see the wood lath, clean all the dust off as nothing adheres to dust. In the video I did today, I show using a vacuum to remove the dust, then me applying by paintbrush a bonding agent to the wood lath to make certain the plaster or joint compound adheres and help remove any hiding dust. Cheers, brother. KGP.

[@holamateo]

@@StuccoPlastering thank you so much for the support Kirk! Well I followed your advice to a tee (score with knife, remove, wire brush, vacuum, spray with bleach water, bonding agent and 40 min mud applied in two coats with clean tools) and I’m so happy with the results. I still have to go back to knock down with a wet float and it may need some additional texture (100 year old Mediterranean Revival building has old world texture on walls and ceiling). By the way do you have any videos on old world texturing?

It's a really helpful & rewarding experience doing for others in need. It's kinda like what habitat for humanity does. Anyway we have leaders directing & supervising the entire project, painting, building or assembling shelves & stocking them, installing doors & windows, cleaning & scrubbing, We put bed bug mattress protection sealed covers on all the beds for in case of infestation, & so much more. Now me I was fixing a plastered ceiling of size that had loose plaster falling, as like you're doing here. We were limited to money, time, & professionalism. However we make do what we have to do in short time. Just like you 'I scored the plastered ceiling & wall area's that was badly crumbling & removed it exposing the lath. next I did not use plaster to go back with 'but instead cut drywall board to run it against the edges of the remaining plaster . I also used large, but skinning washers the size of old silver dollars of maybe an inch & a half or more in diameter w/a small center hole that a drywall screw would not slip thru. I screwed washers into most areas of any noticed & or any possible need to be reinforced of what remained behind if any . I then skim coated the washers w/20 minute mud & mud n taped all seams & applied a 2nd coat to that i& sanded to t nearly making it invisible after painting it. In any case it was a huge improvement & most appreciated by the men who sleeps their. lIt looks great.

The 3 to 5 hour cure time was never an issue as I had additive to make it set in ten minutes if I choose that time for it to set.😉 I do make mention of structo-lite in the description of being the most used for good reason, it's the best.
