Good Evening, Jocelyn, this is something I have filmed before, however, we don't do the painting. our patchwork should be cured for at least 28 days before the homeowner or contractor paints. FYI, I notice all the patchwork in exterior plastering that I have ever done or by all others, "always," as this is what I do for a living, no one can patch a door, window or anything else I can't notice immediately. The idea is I do the best I can for folks when hired when painted has every patch I've done over the years matched perfectly? No. Stucco patching cannot be done throughout one's lifetime and be perfect every time. This unrealistic talent is not for a mortal man. However, if folks are sitting in a hot tub getting drunk and high, and thoughts of exciting conversations or sex, is dominated by, "Hey, who did that bad patchwork?" Then there's a problem with my repairs. Thus, I would have to repair once more at my expense. Peace, love and happiness to all. Sharing stucco wisdom with Kirk Giordano plastering

[@woodway11]

I watched a lot of your videos, this channel is like a teaching lab at a tech school for plastering. So far I feel I'm failing student. I've gone through about 8 bags of quikrete stucco base repairing four repair areas in my stucco home and the end result is pretty good in my opinion, not professional for sure but good enough for three coat system. So far, at least four of the eight bags ended up the ground because my hawk and trowel skills are in serious trouble. I even mixed up one bag just to practice transfer from my hawk to my trowel skills and I must be doing something wrong but I may have stumbled upon something. keeping the small load on my hawk helps and taking it either off the top or bottom, I've found that by squeezing the mix between the hawk and trowel during the transfer itself seems to help keep the mix on my trowel long enough to make it to the wall. If I just rely on scooping it off with the trowel alone, and not applying slight pressure between the hawk /trowel, the material slips immediately off my trowel and ends up coating my shoes and the ground below.. Trying various slump ratios at the moment but not nearly as efficient as you make it look. Bought two more bags for practice mix that I'm going to try tomorrow. Any suggestions Jedi master? Steve in Newark!

[@constantindarmon7880]

Hold the your trowel like this : perpendicular to the forearm, thumb on edge pointing finger and middle finger to the handle. Adjust angle of trowel with the thumb. Half my new guys improve a lot using this holding method.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Dudes, As a rule, I always prefer a trowel at least 2 to 4 inches longer than the largest hawk which is 14 inches, for reason of not dropping/spilling mud when working 8 hour days. Heres a question for you to ask your fellow plasterers, I've already interviewed about 20, so I know the answer, to the question I am going to propose you ask, your fellow plasterers, "why do you take mud for the top of your hawk?" That method technically involves pulling mud while at the same time twisting he hawk for your next pull, then repeat until your hawk is empty. The average plasterer does this time-consuming technique from 3 to 6 times to empty his hawk, plus drops much mud in the process. My method and millions of others are to tilt the fully loaded hawk slightly downwards and allow gravity to drop the mud on my congo trowel, apply this mud to the wall, then turn the hawk once more, to tilt the remaining mud on my hawk once more for my next and often the last trowelful. This method takes on average two moves to empty mud from my Plastering hawk. FYI, when anyone starts to apply cement plaster at first, there are muscles in your forearm, wrist and deltoid and shoulders that you more than likely didn’t know existed. These muscles are rarely used in everyday living. Thus they will feel like they are on fire or swell up when you start to apply plaster, no worries, this is an excellent sign of unused and still weak muscles, not hurt muscles. then when that beautiful pain is gone, begin again. Your wrist, forearms or shoulders will burn, but that's o.k. For the average person, it takes a week or two to get those unused muscles strong enough to move mud where you want it. FYI, if you fall off a bike and hurt your leg, that's a bad pain or soreness, to strengthen muscles you didn’t know you had, this effort creates a beautiful soreness.

Very good blending in the texture around the window, I have a rear door entrance that previous owner years ago had cut into stucco rear of garage the door is going to have to be replaced for sure but all around the exterior edging is an eye sore there is pieces of stucco that look like 1" thick × 6" Long flat brick pieces that is cracked all around the entire framing so I am assuming either the cracked pieces have to come out or be filled in after I take out & rebuild the door framing structure with new wood then replace the door, so would you think it is better to remove all the broken pieces around the edge of door or better to fill it in with stucco patch & try to blend in the texture around edges? it would be a quik fix to fill it in then put some molding trim around the edge but I want to do it right what do you think sir?

Kirk: You and your videos are a godsend. QUESTION: I have an old house (1930's) with lath and plaster interior. Next to a door the plaster has broken away from the lath- I guess from years of door vibration. There are no cracks or missing pieces and the only way you even notice it is if you press on the wall , it pushes in and out about a half inch. I guess the years of good paint are holding everything seamlessly together. How do I re-attach it properly? Please don't say I need to tear it down and start over as no plasterer I have contacted in the past for other repairs can figure out how to match the heavy texture that was done. Was thinking of drilling a few holes and piping quick-set into the gap and pressing the wall back into the thin-set... Thanks!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Rick Dude, no worries easy enough question. Your walls have studs more than likely true 2x4's the lath used was cedar lath which has grooves in them every inch for the stucco to catch and hold. This type of exterior cedar lath often separates from the stucco in vibration type of areas such as doors. This excellent wood lath was used in the late 1890's to about 1915. It lasts for hundreds of years more or less depending on all the homeowner's attention to painting are considered. You can drill a few holes, and squeeze some Sikalex polyurethane caulking which is the strongest sealant and adhesive every manufactured then screw back together. Drill the holes then place a countersink at the head so the screws will fit perfectly, you only need half a tube if the area is about a foot in all directions. Leave the screws in than caulk over them, so they don't show. This is one way, there are many more expensive ways such as tear the area in question out and fix. Over the wood lath, you must know where to stop, or the whole wall will go. Lastly, if you screw the screws too tight they will bust the wall and hold nothing, this is a delicate fix.

Good morning Kirk.What I would like to see is how you guys apply the Trowel-On with paint. I heard that they normally put it on the wall then wait about 15 minutes and use a fiberglass float to float in an upward circular motion. I would like to see how it is applied in a video.I would especially like to see how you guys apply the course texture type of Trowel-On.Thanks man!

I recently had some electrical work done to move an outdoor outlet in order to install an in-wall doggie door. In order to move the outlet, they had to punch holes in the stucco wall, and now I need to fix it. I have most of the tools needed to repair the holes, but I am not able to find small quantities of backing paper or house wrap for what would be (3) 4in x 4in holes that need to be repaired. I have seen a number of your KZbin videos, and have shown me a lot. Do you have any guidance on where to find this material to begin patching? Thanks.

[@damiunwalker357]

Kirk, thanks for the video! I currently have painted textured drywall in my home and am considering plastering my walls. What should my first steps be? I'm unsure what the ideal backing(?) is for plaster. Do you have any specific videos that would be helpful?

[@donaldlee6760]

Awesome tip on the bulldog demo hammer! - Will the owner need to paint the entire wall (or even the entire building?) to match the new stucco? It seems a shame since that massively gigantic wall is a maintenance-free finish. I would have been tempted to ask you to try and get close to the same color (obviously it's impossible to color match faded and dirty 50+ year old stucco) just to not lose that maintenance-free finish. Another idea is if the stucco was cut out tight when removing the old window, then a wood trim could cover the perimeter of the new window and cover the patch. Yeah, it would be funny looking if only two out of the 30 windows were wood trimmed but a maintenance free finish is desirable in my opinion.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Donald, all true, there are many ways to skin a cat. The best method would be to do the patch work, then re-skim the entire wall, voila, a clean maintenance free wall once more. Happy new years.🍻

Hi Kirk, i’ve tried applying stucco once, about 40 years ago. A friend and I stuccoed a shed in his backyard the stucco scratch coat kept falling off. LoL❗️ Can you help explain if there is a technical reason why l need to start or begin applying a scratch coat at the top of the wall and work my way down? Also I have a 3 foot flat soffit with a vent continuous around the roof. Should I do begin the soffit before beginning wall or after? Thanks .

[@tfregin1]

Hey Kirk, I have watched a few of your videos on youTube and thank you very much, they are very informative! I have a question about for helping a friend with a DIY project. She wanted the inside of her studio which is a painted block to be plastered with a random looking texture like a skip trowel finish. I wanted to make sure my understanding was correct before attempting. I was planning on first using a wire brush to rough up the surface then clean well. Next apply a bonding agent such as weldcrete or quikcrete then apply a skim coat. Could I apply the skip trowel finish while skim coating instead of floating it smooth and then paint after it has properly cured or would I need to skim coat and then apply a finish coat on top of that? Thank you for any advice and thanks again for your awesome videos!

Kirk, I love you guys videos! I have a question. My house was built in 1963 and I want to replace all the exterior stucco. I really want to add Insulation in the exterior wall. Would you recommend to demo the exterior wall to add insulation? Or would you go another way? Much appreciated!

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Kevv Dude, I would call a few insulation companies to have it blown in the walls through the stucco, make sure their repair of the stucco is satisfactory, ask questions. Most insulation companies hire the best-trained people and use quality materials. While sadly, some businesses are so greedy in making money they use cheap materials plus dont hire, competent people, not realizing they will be hurting their own company in the long run. Read reviews, as with computer reviews, they tell an honest story about businesses and their practices.

Great job on explaning plastering finishing techniques. Have you ever done interior plastering, with looks of cast concrete without special overpriced concrete effect materials?

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Norbertas, yes I have done this too, before. This is difficult, today they sell rubber forms to stamp on the wet stucco to create the illusion of concrete. The skill part is to know how to line these rubber stamps on and whether the cement plaster is not to wet or dry. It's just like doing stamped concrete which I did for my backyard only much more difficult on a wall. Teaching plastering do’s, don'ts and reasons why Live long and plaster

Hello Kirk, I am having problem, a very big one. My south wall (rain comes from this side), when it rains, the whole wall and roof gets lots of water inside my house because of outside cement plastering is cracked. the iron rods inside my roof a rusty now and the roof is fragile. My question is what is the best method to repair such a problem.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good evening Zaher my friend, this is a real problem. This stage of leaking could have not just started to be at this stage, Most rain in California comes from the south. Your walls must have mold in them by this time. Google the negative effects of mold as their not good. If possible place a tarp to cover the entire area, so no more rain enters your home, until you can tear off the whole wall and if necessary the roof to repair this situation, don't delay if you can do it yourself, do so, or hire a company to do this for you, sorry.

Kirk: I'm doing stucco over a 2ft retaining wall. Doing two coats, nice thick base coat and a finish coat with a little color mix in the stucco. My question is, what do you do to block off or protect the weep holes near the bottom of the block wall. (it butts against a sidewalk so will stucco to the concrete.)

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Gary, I show how to do this with a water hose in a video. but have no clue where it is. I take the water hose and use a silver water nozzle shoot the water until it forms a tight circle on the ground then let the inner circle hit the wall and move along washing just the stucco away from the home, thus clearing the ground and removing any stucco from the weep screed.

Good evening Gene Dude, the peeling paint needs to be removed you can use a putty knife or a pressure washer.

Evening Nick, good question, no, Plaster of Paris is great for all interior stuff as it sets really fast, in fact, that what doctor use to set casts. But its a gypsum based interior plaster, gypsum based plaster products should be used for interior repairs only. Guess where Plater of Paris got it's name. Silly question, Paris has one of the largest gypsum mines in the world or did so 30 years ago. I would use Rapid set stucco patch for your needs, note this product has large grains of sand but is sold everywhere even in ten-pound boxes. Peace, love with happiness to all.
