A comment often asked with this video is about using bonding agents,
Don’t dilute bonding agents such as Quikrete or Weld-Crete when applying basecoats or concrete.
Remember, all bonding agents applied are only as good as the surface they’re applied to.
For example, the bonding agent won’t be as effective if a surface is not clean enough to eat off.
Does someone need a bonding agent for clean bricks, cement concrete, or blocks? No, but again it has to be clean, dust-free, and not painted.
Note; No stucco wire is necessary. In fact, stucco netting is counterproductive.
I’m giving some tips on resurfacing bricks with cement stucco in this video.
Last tip, scratch coats are not necessary for any porous walls, including, as in this video, bricks, Cinder blocks, Cement Blocks, Terra Cotta walls, or any other cementitious substrate. Instead, fill to the correct thickness; if you need to apply more than one coat, do so.

Thanks very much for teach
@@MarkAB2210 Hi Mark, your just a big meanie,🤔
Seriously dude, leave the stucco work to me and stick with cartoons.
Please don't take any notice of negative stupid comments, from people who can't do better or have no tutorial videos themselves, your giving out amazing knowledge and I thoroughly enjoy your videos, I'm a master craftsman and teach apprentices and qualified tradesman in the U.K. And u get the thumbs up.
Howdy Prawn Dude, no worries, I get roughly 40 comments daily, an incredible 99 are positive, so the 1% that are negative gives me pleasure as it mixes up things a wee bit.
Keep up the great work in training the newbies, it's a tough job but but someones got to do it.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice
Well when I rendered my shower, I clogged the drain pipe with cement (after I put a tin of paint on it to cover it.) It's fixed now. I wrote off two sets of pants and shirts renovating recently. This is why I'm so impressed.
Howdy, my friend, when I started I used to have two washing machines, one for my clothes and one for my family's, It took practice before I could give the extra washing machine away.

Here in the UK we would tend to render with 2 coats and rule off the top coat for more accuracy. When ready it would be floated up then have a quick run over with a sponge.

Sound Plastering tips for the DIY beginner or the Plastering experts
Thats cause we put waterproofer in the first coat but not the 2nd coat
Good evening fix it, I'd stop doing that, if you waterproof the first coat you have sealed it, In order for the second coat to adhere it need to adhere by suction or what we call a mechanical bond, you need a porous first coat that you make moist with water to accept the second coat which is wet.
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.

Kirk I've been laying brick and stone for 25 years and still get little tips every time I watch your videos although we don't do but a few stucco jobs a year I actually enjoy it because of the faster pace and lighter lifting. Question do you ever mix mortar with your Portland cement for a little extra stick?
sometime and even add lime from time to time.

another good video Kirk!. Here in the uk sometimes i work on old buildings and sometimes have to fix lime plaster, NHL 3.5 or putty with no portland, horse hair in the argrigate!. Some of the buildings are 3 to 400 years old .Did you know that a lot of the castles and statley homes in the middle ages were white lime washed and plastered 100 percent outside and in, most , if not all of this render has washed off a long time ago now to reveal the stone. You would enjoy working with lime, it is very plastic and easy to use!

I've watched a lot of this guys videos. How the fuck does he keep that shirt white?
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.🍻

When there a crack the rain fills it with water then when it freezes it expands, thus pops off the stucco or even concrete off.🤔

Get Plastered
Teaching plastering do’s, don'ts and reasons why
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.
There no rule that says, if you can't afford to remove all that loose stuff you go to jail. Remove what you can, and if it sounds secure, leave it alone.

I don’t even know why I’m watching this but I like these videos hahahaha
I watch boxing videos all the time so were even, my dad was a price fighter way back in 1935, I have many pictures with him and famous fighters, he also was May Wests Chuffer when he was forced out of the boxing game. Docs said if he got hit in the eye again he might lose his sight permanently, so he had to give it up. Cheers my friend.
Thanks a lot for these. I have about a dozen spalled bricks on a corner of my house near or at grade, and pulling them seems unnecessarily intensive, especially given the kind of hidden location. (The area had a bush keeping things humid for years before we owned it, but most of the bricks didn't succumb.) After much reading about damp proofing bricks below grade with Type M, I found your videos, and I may have to give it a try myself. Masons in my area refuse any job less than $2,000, so I may be stuck doing this myself.

A) What should we be calling for?

Impressive and informative..thank you. Equally as impressive is the fact you managed to stucco darn near a whole chimney WITHOUT one spot on that super white shirt! Flexin hard! 😂
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
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
Evening adrian, the cement stucco that was applied did, indeed have lime in it.

Greetings my friend, that's how I learned too.

Thank you Bryn.
Always a pleasure to watch and learn from a Master Tradesman!
Howdy Bryan, you are too kind my friend.🍻
I love your videos I basically learned how to render and stucco from u alone...only thing I would add is when rendering you need to use rendering sand and lime with your Portland...I struggled until I got the mix right....lime is soooooooo important, otherwise good luck
Morning my friend, I buy, Lehigh's premium cement plaster, it has lime and common already in the bags.

Sorry for the long post
I have 2 jobs coming up that they want some kind of mortar wash over the brick. The first one is a 6ft tall chimney on a 45 year old house above roof so only about 72sqft. The mortar looks to be deteriorating and is a deep raked with cracks and holes which we think is allowing water in and getting on the ceiling. The flashing is copper and was installed correctly about 5 years ago(it's not causing the water leaks). There was an older flashing about 2 foot up on the brick that we think is another place water is getting in. This chimney is in bad shape with mildew and silicone caulk in several places and they don't have a lot of money to spend on it,(I'm limited on the amount of prep work they can afford so I need something that will stick) she is a teacher and he is a county sheriff. I was considering using a white thin set like is used to lay tile to a floor(going with the kind that allows tile to be laid over almost anything, it's my thinset of choice when I want to put new tile over old tile, sheet vinyl, or any other non typical substrate) .....will that work?
The second job is a whole house mortar wash but we are thinking of making it look like stucco, the house had a bad foundation and there are lots of big cracks in the mortar and brick so it's a cover up to keep from totally rebricking the house....not sure yet which product or exactly what the final look is they are wanting. To get stucco products in Mississippi you have to be a licensed stucco installer and I not interested in doing enough to get licensed ....
I've never been afraid to try anything once and love having youtube because with a little research I can do just about anything.....once ....yes sometimes I find out that's not something I want to do again...
Howdy Handy Hippie dude, on the chimney I would suggest you first pressure wash, next apply a bonding agent such as in this video then skim coat with stucco I have not tried tile grout to skim coat with, then finally apply an acrylic stucco finish with sealer first, this will seal the chimney so it stops leaking, plus look great.
Apply Dry-vit, Carsons, or BMI or even Stucco-flex if they can afford it.
The is a permanent fix, sorry I can't recommend any other repair except one that works.
If they can't afford this, try DIY, pressure washing and Painting with a quality paint and primer, the brick will still show but they need this watertight more than pretty, or mold will develop inside the home. Not Good.
On the whole, house what you want to do is apply a color cost, type in how to apply a color coat, detailed videos will appear.
Not certain what a Mortar wash is but sound like a parge coat which is colored cement plaster that is painted on something, I would advise against this, just go to google images and type this in to see why.
Lastly, anyone can purchase bags of color coat cement stucco at home depot, lowes or any plastering yard, you do not need a license, all these stores are happy to take your money in exchange for their product license or not.

Hi Kirk, great job and thanks for showing us your trade. Please can you tell us what is the right mix for a strong stucco please? Thank you, and please don't stop showing us the best of your knowledge.

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
Legend has it this guy has had his white shirt on for 30 years of plastering n it’s never needed washing🤣

Howdy Wyatt dude, somewhat accurate.
The reality is with the last nine years with about 800 video uploads, I have had 35,000 comments according to google analytics that comes with this channel.
49% say, good job, 50% ask for advice, and the 1 percent who criticize or say I suck, "make my day," sounds goofy, I realize.
But who wants to get a pat on the back all day every day,? Not me as I'm confident in my skills.
Best wishes, my friend.

Rambles a bit but boy he gets that mud on the wall. Not as easy as he makes it look & it’s probably the biggest reason why at his age he’s in such great shape. The info on the floating was great.

About the bounding agent Kirk. I do not have this product here in quebec, well creet or wall creet? Giroux and Maçonex (brick supplier here) sell an acrylic pretty pure called A-330 that I pour in my stucco mixture sometimes to give it more elasticity when I do the ruff coat or a repair patch. It is white and turns blue-purple when applied. I never do put it on my ruff surface like you do. But I guess I should. When I work on concrete, after having made sure the wall is saturated with water and in suction mode, I apply a mixture I make. Type 10 cement portland, acrylic A-330, and water, mixed with like thick paint. Respecting my suction mode on the wall, I apply my bounding mixture ( my help does) with a large brush and I start applying my first coat as soon as my bounding is also in suction mode. I have Never seen any entrepreneur here beside me doing this method I learned from my master plaster teacher deceased today.
Howdy Michael dude, we have one product here called Sika latex fortifier it's used similarly to what you're doing, instead of mixing with water you add it the sika latex.
however. I have not tried it.
As a rule, I apply my bonding agents to clean surfaces, if I apply in the bonding agents sold here, the method of adding it to our stucco mix would dilute the bonding agent so that it would be renderered uselless.
Best wishes my fellow plasterer in Quebec.

Doesn't putting cement over brick directly cause moisture problems in the wall? No need for a breathing gap to let things dry?
Good afternoon sam, No. 😉
