Plastering overhead against gravity

[@Tablesaw818]

I’ve never done any kind of plastering but I enjoy watching your videos.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Thank you my friend

[@quixstation145]

I was amazed seeing how you applied the stucco even as soupy as it was on the first try , now that takes skill ,,,lovin your work Kirk Keep It Up

[@psyo123]

he is the best I am electrician and learnt lot from him

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@psyo123 Morning psyo, thank you

[@djnone8137]

I tell ya what the two things i enjoy most are Giordanos pizza in chicago and Giordanos stucco and plastering video's.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@djnone8137 Man, I’ve yet to try their pizza, it’s a long way to Chicago from Oakland ca. I have to settle for Round Table, I hear, Their the last honest pizza.

[@djnone8137]

@StuccoPlastering you can get one sent frozen. They send it in dry ice. You share the family name. It won't be the same but If you have the right oven it will be close. You might be shocked by the sticker tag price however... I miss California everyday. She's my priestess I'm her priest. I just can't afford to live there off my talents. 2002-2006 San Diego was the best time of my life... then 2008 to 2012 in Chula Vista. Little San bernindino mixed in. National city. Coronado bay... if I had skill I'd live in California Only thing I have is 30 years of working experience getting chit done. It's not always enough. The Great thing I enjoy is California Pizza kitchen. I can still get that and feel at home.

Been on to your channel for about 3 weeks love the content and your way of explaining the process. Big fan here in Alabama!!! See you on the next one!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@DandyDon66-ji2vw howdy, thank you for the kind comment.

[@12yearssober]

I still have the nippers my dad used when he was a union plasterer. They have to be 60 years old. He got them when he started his apprenticeship in 1959.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@12yearssober Nippers are needed when lathing over steel studs without a doubt, or pulling staples or nails. 1959, man, that’s sho-nuff long ago, and the year I was born.🕵🏼‍♀️

[@12yearssober]

@@StuccoPlastering I guess he was using them with lathe and cold rolled steel that was the norm back then. Definitely long time ago!!!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@12yearssober I have two pair in my truck as they have many uses, it just takes imagination to figure out when they are the perfect choice.😉

[@12yearssober]

@StuccoPlastering Yes sir!!!

[@buixote]

HEy Kirk, Good to see you're still at it! You are the *MAN*!!!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@buixote Evening my friend, I have a few more weeks in me before I kick the bucket.🪣

[@ArmandoQuinonez-p3k]

Hello kirk good evening always a pleasure seeing ur videos thanks for all the great tips and techniques great teacher to learn from -A&A lath&stucco

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@ArmandoQuinonez-p3k Evening Armando, thank you.

Always great to watch! 👍

@@sydsyd howdy my friend, thank you.

[@lmilne4859]

Brilliant Kirk.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Thank you, sir 😉

[@Sonichistorian]

Always my least favorite thing to do in plastering over the years is overheads/ceilings. With the drop outs and using a different set muscle groups it’s tough on the body. Kirk you make it look easy!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@Sonichistorian Good evening my historian friend, for the record, I’m always sore also after stuccoing ceilings.

[@ernestogonzalez17]

you are awesome Kirk

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@ernestogonzalez17 Thank you.

[@treverwhoever]

Cool, didn't know they were into commercial stuff too... you see.... Kirk enjoys the craft and the fruits of his labor, im certain... but what he really enjoys is... teaching the masses about the lost art of stucco and plastering.. pay attention and you might learn something! Thanks dudes..

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@treverwhoever Ding, ding, ding, give this man a cigar. Exzackory. 😉

[@charltonheston969]

the way he speaks & his voice drops low , reminds me of Christopher Walken. & looks like the other guy in the king of New York too 😂

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@charltonheston969 Lol,

[@ezdeezytube]

Christopher Walken running a plastering company sounds like a good movie

[@StuccoPlastering]

@ lol, I’ll play the part since I’m an old dude now. Cheers. 🕵🏼‍♀️

This guys the man.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@TB-sg5bk I wouldn’t go that far but thank you.

[@I3lazedOne]

U wore that same outfit in a 15 yr old video! Shout out from NC! Originally from Garden Grove CA ✌️

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@I3lazedOne Lol, all my pants still fit from 40 years ago, my lover just patches the knees for me, every white shirt I wear are always from thrift stores where I pay a couple bucks for, the long sleeve shirts are necessary as the lye from stucco burns the hell out of anyone’s skin before soaking through and entering our blood stream where they start sucking the life out of any and everyone, lye does not care who you are. it’s a deadly toxin that I rarely discuss.

[@Jimmy-Legs]

You. R a beast of a man.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@Jimmy-Legs Good evening, thank you, but this is just another day at the office for us.😉

This Man is a Lgend

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@Rey619. Lol, thank you, but my sons are the legends as they do the difficult work of mixing perfect muds that make me or any spreader seam better than they are.🕵🏼‍♀️

[@justgivemethetruth]

Sunglasses? I really enjoy your videos. Learned a lot about plastering ... like that I would not have the slightest clue or abiity to do this!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@justgivemethetruth No doubt I can’t do what you specialize in either. 😉

[@greenbeen_079]

Hello from the Lone Star State.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@greenbeen_079 Howdy Green beans, would that be a city in Texas, all my ex’s live in Texas.

[@SpaceCrete]

when yo say Rapid Set do you mean CSA cement with your coarse sand? Thanks!

[@StuccoPlastering]

That is correct💪

[@als1023]

Kirk: Could you post an approx mix ratio for that small patch , of accelerator to Rapid Set ? What amount does Jason add ?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Jay just used less water, It was close but a bit less water would have been perfect as it would have been like whipping cream instead of soup.

[@avisitorhere]

I kind of think that Jason mixes the mud thin on purpose when you're working above your head. Just a suspicion. 😉

[@dallinbagley4486]

I think he expects Kirk to spend a while talking and explaining at the beginning and mixes the mud accordingly.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@avisitorhere Lol, Jay has a good sense of humor, but, I did this 40 years ago to a buddy of mine to watch him get covered in mud. Jays sense of humor is far too much wiser than his years and would never do things that might compromise someone else’s integrity. 🕵🏼‍♀️😉

[@reconciliation8491]

kirk, i would like to try my hand with a sixteen inch trowel like you use. would you point me to a link where i could a decent budget trowel similar to that please? one curved though straight at the ends the same as yours.

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@reconciliation8491 we no longer have an Amazon store as the ten bucks a month it generated was a complete waste of our time, I’d suggest a trowel at least 14 by 5 inches. They sell them at HD or Lowe’s.

[@freddaniali]

Doing commercial work... alright Kirk!!!!!!!

[@StuccoPlastering]

@@freddaniali We do our share.
