We’re spreading Dry-Vit, one of the best Acrylics sold also, BMI, Carson’s and Stucco-Flex are the go to acrylics. The product you applied ranks down with 4 others, all sold by the same company. I wouldn’t spread any of them for reasons I won’t mention here. As this is a rated G channel 😉💃

Hi Kirk, I recently coated a 12 metre high steel framed blueboard cladd lift shaft with this stuff using rope access equipment and no scaffolding. It was near 35 degree celcius on the sunny side of shaft most days and i found it extremely difficult to avoid getting dry joints due to the exposure to direct sun and heat on surface of cladding. I could only apply until about 10am in the morning on the sunny side of shaft. Looking back i wish i had used a polymer modified cement render such as the Australian manufactured Rokcote instead of an acrylic. I enjoyed your video and learned something from it. The way you sponged using the edges of the sponge instead of flat face made all the difference. Thanks Adam J Edgar Sydney Australia

[@StuccoPlastering]

Howdy Adam, man thats sounds rough, i'm glad we didn't have to do it. I did have a job a few years back where we used outside hanging scaffold from the top of a 15 story building, now that was scary, at least the first few days. Cheers and have a happy new year my friend, Kirk and family.

Hey Kirk...on the east coast we use a plastic trowel or steel trowel to float dryvit...we also use a spray gun for our detailed trim...never used sponge...I'm in Pa..great work

[@CountryScroller]

I'm an EIFS guy from Ohio. When we do finish on stucco, we use sponge float. It works better on stucco. But always hard plastic on an EIFS wall. Or if its smooth finish, then a steel trowel like you said.

Howdy Country dude, been there, when I worked with the union as a plasterer, the pump man would spray the the finish coat on with the tommy gun then us plasterers would just sponge float finish coat, I didn't like the results (too many float lines) but did what I was told or was arce out, now years later with my own company I chooses this method in this video.

what? no its not. I do render in Australia, Stucco is way too much material wastage and time preping...

Lots of great info here. Recently applied an acrylic fine finish over a base/mesh coat. After a heavy rain, some water got behind a few areas on the home and it bubbled up. Adhesion between the acrylic coat and base coat seems poor overall, and can be scraped off even in the dry areas with a drywall knife. Any ideas? Does the entire acrylic coat need to be scraped off and redone? Base coat seems dry, smooth, and is new/in good shape. The walls were primed, 2+ coats. Thanks in advance

[@StuccoPlastering]

This only happens when the base coat is dusty, or dry. Thus the chemical bond was compromised. Or it could have been a hot day and created hot walls, and as soon as the finish was applied the walls sucked the moister out immediately, in that case, I usually mist the hot walls with a water hose no matter how many coats of the primer was applied. At this point you can pressure wash, any loose finish should and will come off, and then you will need to repeat the finish, Sorry.

Hey kirk I have a question, it does not pertain to this video, but it would be nice if you could help a fella out, if possible. My parents have an old house built in 1957. There was just a big rain storm and the concrete basement flooded, not the first time. It seems the footings and walls where poured before the ground was. There was so much water pressure, water came in between the small gaps in them. What kind of caulking would you recommend to seal that? Im a huge fan of you and would love to hear your opinion.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Hello Mate, caulking won't solve this common problem, sorry. Installing a french drain system would help big time, but even this may not stop the rain from entering the foundation. It really depends on the foundation, I have seen many that were just rocks and a bit of cement (which allows water to enter easily) while other were built to last and would not allow water to enter even without a french drain system or any waterproof membrane over the foundation which also acts as an additional moisture barrior. best wishes, Kirk & Jason giordano’s teaching videos

[@StuccoPlastering]

Good morning Rodriguez, your dad is correct, It's one of the most challenging tasks in the Plastering industry. That is to wet or hose down a wall prior to the application of a cementitious or acrylic color finish. All walls absorb differently, so even if you are an expert, you can still get beat up by water absorption, some sheds or sucks up the water differently as some guy hard rubber hard or not at all. Now factor in the temperature of a wall was when you arrived, where you start from as the sun will heat walls differently, also, different guys doing the floating, the list goes on and on.

Why don't you use an acrylic float instead of a green float? or you can use a stainless steel Trowel to finish it. I have never seen anyone use green float on acrylic

Good morning Fitness Dude. The owner wanted a fine sand finish. It's closer to perfect a fine sand finish with a sponge float once one has spent the time necessary to know how to use one. Keep in mind, when I was an apprentice, I floated behind two and sometimes three plasterers for years. Hence, I can use a sponge float very well. The hard plastic floats waste way too much time, and feathering in joints for one person can be done, but chasing joints where two or three plasterers are working, and I'm the only float man, A sponge float, is the right call.

Yeh, he probably should be using the plastic trowel for the Acrylic, gets a much better finish. In Australia no one uses stucco. (barely anyone, some solid plaster on high end georgian style homes etc.. ) its all acrylic base coats and textures.

[@StuccoPlastering]

Evening Joker dude, no worries, FYI, we did not have a scaffold joint as we primed the wall with the acrylic primer recommended for dry-vit, this is why the color was so close and not the true portland based cement plaster color, we used the same color for primer and finish coat, helps in the long run to allow time if needed, it was!
