If you waterproof the first coat, the second coat will not adhere forever unless you apply a bonding agent over the first coat as it's now sealed.

Carlos my friend, ask and ye shall receive. When I started plastering many years ago, I wanted to be considered cool and not a wuss. So I didn't wear gloves for a few days. Goofy move, I couldn't open my fingers without the bleeding from the finger joints, plus they were like sandpaper, even too manly for me, as when I tried to sleep they keep sticking the covers, that was some annoying sh!t. Plus my wife at that time said, "baby, don't touch me with those sandpaper hands" ouch.💃 I only had to learn that lesson once. I slept with vaseline on my hands in sandwich bags for a week, then they were as good as new. Did the lye enter my bloodstream transdermally? Who knows, I was happy to open my hands again without the pain, plus I was young and didn't don't worry about stuff like whats was in my bloodstream besides blood.🍻

Sorry for the education question, but I'm seeking advising regarding a chimney top with a 1/4 inch or so, stucco parged directly over the brickwork. Some areas of the plaster bond have failed, and many areas vibrate when pounded. I'm not sure if I can reasonably expect to remove all of the stucco, even areas that still have a solid bond with the brick faces. I'm happy to go at it with a variety of chisels, but am a little concerned about either some rough stucco remaining, or brick faces failing during bonded stucco removal. It'll be painted afterwards, so brick faces can be discolored. I'll send a portion of future lotto winnings for any help, and I'm expecting to win, like really big!

Hi Jerry, give it the old tap test, hit it lightly with a hammer, you will here if its separating, not sure of the sound, tap the concrete sidewalk and listen for that solid noise, now tap that chimney again.

Kirk: Your ability to sling mud AND talk at the same time is very impressive. Question: I am an architect and trying to communicate intelligently with plastering mechanics in a large gypsum plaster interior job where we are trying to achieve a “sand aggregate float finish” with a very very slightly visible subtle random trowel strokes. A) What should we be calling for? B) What trowel is generally used for this type of work? Sponge? Foam? Wood? Not looking for do-it-yourself advise...just a professional opinion. We’d try to hire you guys but it’s East Coast. Great videos BTW!

Evening Raw Dog, LOL, stucco and plaster both have Lye in it. Lye will burn, eat, disintegrate stuff, hands, and face are no problemo for Lye to beat or eat up. A story, I was about 20, and going to a party, was dressed up and excited, my piece of crap car wouldn't start, I used jumper cables when I tried to attach them to my car battery my battery exploded, it sent battery acid all over me, I thought, damn, now I have to wash my face and hair, as I was in a hurry. Did that fast, then stuck my friend's battery in my crap car. The next day, my shirt and pants had holes all over them. I thought to myself, man, good thing I took the time out to wash my face and hands, as I almost didn't.😉 That's what Lye in stucco also does, Lye is no joke and takes no prisoners.🍻 Show less

[@adrianduggan4739]

Just wondering, in Ireland when plastering brick houses, we oftentimes use lime plaster/render, because like you said bricks absorb moisture, and because of that, the Portland cement stops the bricks from releasing the moisture, causing the inside to be damp, and encouraging rot. Lime plaster however is breathable and so allows the moisture to be absorbed and evaporated, just wondering is there a mix of Portland cement you use to combat this, maybe it's not a problem in the region where your plastering this, it's only a chimney so its probably not going to pose the same problems as a gable wall, just curious as to what methodology you guys use, when plastering a brick wall to avoid dampness

8:00 its so weird how stucco is the mixture of lime, powdered marble and plaster, everywhere else, particularly in italy, where it was used since renaissance times to mimic marble adding pigments as well, but is sand, lime and portland cement in the us, that last mixture is just plain "cement" in europe

[@raymondjohnson6708]

Just curious in patching stucco is there various colors or do you have to add a pigment?

[@StuccoPlastering]

The cement you choose decides the color.

[@brydiewinesgodsil5919]

Here in New Orleans we are required to Use 9parts sand 3parts lime and 1 part Portland. Takes a while to cure . Wondering your thoughts.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Mate, I prefer 3 parts sand to one part cement plaster, BTW our premium cement plaster has lime already in it, costs a bit more but saves time in the long run.

We had cement stucco applied over brick and added letters to update our community sign. The letter installation came out great but the stucco and paint job is bad. It looks sloppy, dimpled, and there is some sort of running color where the signs were installed and I don't know what that is, it's like a color bleeding, is that called ghosting? thanks,

[@DrDanielHoward]

I built a small garage using Y tong blocks. Such blocks are used very much in Europe. It is aereated concrete and very light and white. The walls are finished and each block is rather large (600 mm x 215 mm) the thickness of the block, of the wall is 100 mm. These blocks cannot be dampened because water eventually will bust them. I found a very good water resistant paint from Spain that takes very well to the blocks and it even paints over "Storm Dry" a British product that is like a hydrophobic transparent coating. So I can make the wall 100 percent water proof. However, the blocks have slight imperfections. I could sand the blocks with an orbital sander very lightly (the material is very crumbly can for example can be cut with a saw or manually planed). However, it may not look so great. The paint is a dark green and will disguise imperfections. Yet I wish to ask you a question. Other than stucco or render as we call it in the UK (and plaster as they call it in the USA) is there some less onerous process, some very light perhaps dry external treatment to coat the wall to hide the block appearance. I do not wish to go stucco or full blown render. I wanted something in between. The Germans have FERMACELL dry plaster which I have used internally but unsure this would be good or practical for outdoors.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Daniel, in order to cover imperfections, we generally apply a minimum of 1/2 inch of stucco, you can try a finish coat which when applied properly is only 1/8 of an inch thick, this does not cover much but is still 30 to 50 time thicker than paint, thus may work, FYI, as a rule paint enhances flaws so there has to be some depth to what you wish to accomplish. Live long and plaster images for stucco/plastering and teaching video’s

[@DrDanielHoward]

I saw this which seems promising as it says it can be applied in thin layers or to smooth out imperfections. www.insulationshop.co/smooth_render_ceresit_ct34.html?gclid=CKPg7qzjoNQCFccy0wodwWMFpQ I will try to find out more.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Daniel, this is similar to the finish coat I suggested, there are literally about 40 to 50 different finish coat products that do the same thing, bottom line is no matter what product you choose and how long you research the minimum will be an eighth of an inch, if that does not cover you will have to repeat untill you get the desired coverage you wish to hide the imperfections.

Thanks for all the great videos. You saved me from replacing a ton (tons) of plaster with inferior drywall in my c1850 home. I am thinking about covering some brick with stucco. My concern is that the brick and mortar is 170 years old and that cement based stucco is harder than the brick and will not allow any movement. Should I be using some type of lime based stucco material to prevent problems? Thanks! Dan

hello. I wondering if you can give me some advice. I live in Houston in all brick house..(hate it). so i was wondering if i can cover the walls with hydrolic cement and then regular cement to give it a stucco look... or do i apply stucco. I have not been able to find a video that shows how to do it from start to finish...on brick, that is, so what are the steps? Products that i need....I will do the experiment on the fireplace wall... I also liked the idea of moldings for the windows...so i will like to see a different look. I already fixed three loonng walls where there was a lot of holes and big gaps between the bricks...so far it looks pretty good. I also in the process of fixing the foundation...digging, cleaning and waterproofing it. Well i hope you give me some pointers or maybe do a video on how to do the smooth finish on brick walls step by step. Thanks Trishia
