- Stucco knockdown dash finish.
A dash is thrown on soupy stucco, like the old expression "a dash of salt."
A knockdown Dash is when you use a trowel and go over the dash finish.

What is a Stucco Knockdown Dash?
Hello all, in this how-to video, we show How to apply an exterior knockdown dash finish.
The video below has the same finish, but for the inside walls, we used plaster instead of stucco. • Plaster master matchin...
Knock, who there’s? Kirk the best, Kirks the best, who? Kirks is the best stucco, dude; now you know.
Tip, folks When dashing, you will give a better dash stucco finish if you have a real Dash-Brush. If not, I have used a small whisk broom, a fat paintbrush, and a few other meetings to throw on a stucco dash finish.
I would recommend Rapid Set Stucco, which is sold at all Home Depots and Lowes. All you do is add water.
Note that this cement plaster sets very fast and extremely hard, so make sure you read the instructions thoroughly, my friend.
More dash finishes are below,
• Pebble dash stucco fin... Throw a pebble dash finish for a stucco turret.
• Throw on a tunnel dash... Stucco tunnel dash stucco finish.
• What can be added to s... Why call a second coat brown when it’s grey, dash finish.

Howdy Jamie, what a beautiful thing to say, thank you. 🥂
You are the Best stucco guy around Mr. Giordano your a great teacher I learned a lot Watching You videos thank you
Atta Boy Big Daddy Gil,

Flexing the trowel gives the best results for inside corners! Normally I try to avoid those box store corner tools, there good for first rough coat, but even then need clean up work. Love the tips on texturing! this is where I am trying to expand my craft. Beautiful work as always Kirt!
Evening Kurt, thank you, if you wish to learn how to apply any and every kind of texture that any person has applied, I have not found one yet that we can't match,
Yes, some take a bit longer than others, but the texture has not been applied we can't match or better yet, "show You how to match."
Cheers my friend,
kirk giordano
Thanks dude. Really empowered me to give it a try myself and save thousands. I messed up a few times (especially feathering the joints) but I'll keep trying to master it.
Atta Boy Eduardo, practice is what is all about, best wishes,😉
This video just saved me. Now I am ready for the job tomorrow. I know exactly what tools i will need and what to do to get this match.

That's part of our job, you can depend on us for sound advice. 👨🏼🎨
Awesome work sir. My dad has been looking at your videos for months, and he is ready to stucco his first wall. I will upload the video, once he is finish.
Evening Arely, your dad is ahead of the game as he is taking online courses basically to understand the do's and the don'ts, most men don't have this patients and do the job twice, the first time it fails then the second too, the third time they hire a fella to do what they could have learned by taking the time out to understand by watching and being "attentive" in a simple video,
Cheers to your dad,

The man who built my house (he was the original owner) was a stucco contractor and he stuccoed the house. Your video help me understand and appreciate his artistry. I will never understand why the master barhroom’s toilet is open to the bedroom though. Now I have to watch videos on how to build an interior wall. 😀

Kirk, you truly are one of a kind sir. I appreciate your quality.
Evening Colt, Walker, thank you, sir.
I just did some repairs. All I did was slab a bunch of cement, grabbed the same brush, but instead of flicking more cement onto the wall, I just jab the wall using the same brush to create the same texture. And it blended beautifully.
Good Evening J Dude, cool beans daddieo, lots of ways to skin a cat.
The way I show in this video creates mountains or added sand, to dab at a newly applied coat of stucco loosens the coats from adhering properly, causing hairline cracking when it dries plus places valleys instead of mountains, when painted you will see what I'm referring to.

Great Job on the texture. My old foreman did a full dash texture on his home when he bought it back in the 60's. He taught me alot about plastering. Even got a chance to do interior plaster on an old home. ( I believe it may have been diamond veneer or something similar )

Howdy Mark, thank you, this texture look difficult but it's easy, the hardest part is covering all things that might get covered in stucco,
We were lucky it was a deck that was to be replaced, but first the stucco had to be completed.

Thank you my friend for the kind words.
My friend.
Thank you for the video.
They just finished replacing my pool plumbing under ground and unfortunate my pool cement deck has texture. The contractor did try to match the sale texture but he didn’t faded or blended with the existing so you clearly see the 12” line cut 10 foot long with some type of texture. So I decided to buy a texture gun for $100 Lowe’s to splash texture and try to match then painted.
I could of just used your technique with tue brush.
Howdy Mr, Serio, indeed you could have used just a dash brush.
Tip, if you're going to use a dash brush or hand hopper mist the ground first other wise no product whether it's cementitious or acrylic will stick properly to dry ground, plus that ground or deck has to be clean enough to eat off. 💃
@@StuccoPlastering thank you Kirk.
I’ll pressure wash that existing floor first.
I was asking Homedepot and lowes workers what product can I use for floor deck pool texture and no one seem to give me the right answer. I assume there not to experience with that type of work. What do you recommend boss ?
I truly appreciate your tips.

Kirk, I have never attempted stucco before but I had to when i took out a sliding glass door and framed in a window. the slider was 59" x 80" and the window i put in was only 48" x 48". I found your video's and they taught me how to do this. Brother, I have much love for you guys as these video's probably saved me a lot of money. after I did mine my neighbor also wanted his slider taken out done done the same way. Long story short I live in a condo and quite a few people in here have seen what I have done and now what it done but I simply referred them to your website. Just wanted to say thank you and where can I send a donation to?
Good afternoonBryon, thank you, my friend, for the kind words, No donation necessary, however, spend the dough on flowers for the misses.

hey kirk I just want to say thanks for replying to my comment on you other video about fat muding a wall. after I read it on my phone I couldn't find the link again to reply there to thank you for taking the time to respond. Also It is because of watching your videos on plastering I now have the confidence to give it a shot, I was always a lil Leary about it not sure the proper steps and order. I fat mud my first shower next week. thanks for making the videos and jay for doing a awesome job filming and editing, they are appreciated

man that sucks. You have obviously put in your time and deserve better. I worked for a guy similar to you when I was coming up in the flooring trade he knew everything there was to know about carpet and vinyl. Specs , manufactures guidelines it didn't matter he knew his shit. And he would go as far as calling the manufacture if he wasn't sure. That guy could work circles around me, even a cock strong kid fresh out of the Marine Corps. I admire you and your work ethic. You do great work and great service by posting these videos. I know flooring, carpet and tile especially, there are a lot of hacks on here preaching the gospel of their trade and all of them doing it so far wrong it isn't even funny. Keep the videos coming I don't do plaster but every video give me that much more confidence and ideas for my next water proofing job for tile and for the area above the tile skim coat and paint. I believe that you are always learning and from the next guy you might lean that tip or trick that you would have never thought of
Morning Shawn, thank you, that's a fact we are always learning,
got to keep an open mind on all subjects toward all people, otherwise a fella will become dull witted.

Also... Have a section that intersects sheet rock wall that is one inch thicker. It's about 4x8 so putting some sheeting on the concrete wall to bring it out to match sheet rock would be perfect. Is there some sheeting for this that you would recommend? Then... Can I knockdown dash over the sheeting? Love your videos

Kirk been with you awhile. Just purchased a home at auction and realized it's stucco wasn't bulging. It's the red brick behind is bulging. You always have concise answers and need to know how to get back to the brick to reset it. I feel like I bought a disaster. Any links or suggestions dealing with deconstruction and shoring. I mentioned to you before , my plan was to use your techniques in Philly. But have to fix red brick first HELP PLEASE. Thanks you got style and love a union man like you
Good evening Isaac dude, sorry for your situation, there's only one way to repair this, remove all the bulging stucco, then pressure wash the bricks and stucco, if you're lucky it won't be too much.
Bricks don't have the ability to expand so the foundation must be settling in some areas, thus the bulging stucco.
Live long and plaster
Sharing the plastering knowledge
Thanks Bud. But my problem isn't bulging stucco it's the brick behind it. Really need to know how to decontruct, and replace. The section isn't huge but it's pulled away maybe 3 in. How do you decide where to begin removing section. Do you score in a brick pattern?Also notice some strongly recommend not covering brick but it's done . ie do you score stucco in a brick pattern or just knock it out and pray. And yes it's near corner where drainage has been issue for years. I' feel like bulging above window lintle can be removed and replaced but don't know how to start . Are you saying it's most likely a result of corner settling . Which should be addressed first. I know it's difficult without pix. Obviously a novice. Don't want to jump in deep end with out a plan. Thanks again Kirk your stuff is first rate
When retempering mud, how many times can you mix it before you compromise strength? Nice vid
Hi wayne with portland cement, often, with any of the same day cement plasters, don't retemp any of them, throw them away as once retempered or water added this action will give the illusion it can be reused, but it's just that, "an illusion," these retempered same day materials or cement plaster can be sometimes be weakened to the point that they can be scraped off with your fingernails.

Sharing stucco secrets, or common sense tips
Captain Kirk, Absolutely love your videos and respect a man that works hard with his family. You mention knowing what to do to add dash knockdown to wall that is dried. I was doing my first stucco wall (on a chimney. high on a sloping roof) and was trying to finish in one afternoon. Unfortunately, I underestimated the time it would take to get the stucco on and it got dark before I had a chance to do the dash knockdown. I was able to use the wet sponge and bring out the rough texture on most of the surface. What do you suggest to adjust so that the dash and knockdown will work on a completely hard surface?
Good afternoon Joseph, easy solution, just mix more soupy stucco and re-dash.🤔

If my brown coat is already dry can I still do a knock down dash? And what kind of mud should I use? (Something pre mix from HD)
Loving the learning. Thanks! Question. I have a dry basement, newer construction, poured foundation walls. Have you seen basement walls NOT insulated and water proofed in built out basement rooms? Wondering if I can just Structilite the walls, put in a laminate floor and be done? Thoughts?
Good Morning Pub Dude, I have used structo-lite many times on inner foundation walls, if there a chance of water intrusion,stucco would be best. I I were you I fix the exterior so that no matter what product you choose water does not penetrate the walls.

Kirk and Jason Giordano
Is a knockdown usually dashed? Or sprayed? Does the base coat need to be slightly wet on wall?
It can be throne or blown on, the substrate should be moist.
How long do you usually wait to knock down the dash? Done a lot of drywall knock down but not stucco.
Between 10 minutes to a half hour, weather dictates when it’s ready
Kirk, thanks for the great videos, very informative. I am building storage closet on my lanai here in Florida and intend to use durarock for the exterior sheething with bonding agent Weld-crete. I need to do exactly this kind of finish to match the current walls. Do you recommend eliminating the second coat and go directly to the knock down dash? Thanks again!
Good Evening Greg, apply at least a scratch coat, then use a dash finish.

+Giordano's plastering & stucco repair videos I guess my real question is if it does occurred is it better to remove the paint by chemicals, power washing, painting over or recolour coat it Thanks
o'ooooo I see said the blind man, I have a painter buddy who does just this, he says it's easier to apply a chemical that washes the spraypainted finish off, of course I have no clue as to if this is easier than repainting,

I also had a very important question. If you could please help me out. I too do a little bit of plastering. My close friend wants me to help me to the front of his home which is siding. When I did it in the past for a General construction company. We went over the basic T11 siding if it was in good shape. but my friend has the beveled siding that kind of sticks out and goes side to side over and laps each other. Was wondering if I can go just go over it with the proper black moisture paper and lathing or should it be romeved. My concern is the paper easily ripping because of the slight gap that is going to be underneath the black paper due to the beveled siding. I hope I explained myself properly enough fornyou to understand me. hope to hear from you soon kirk. I really have a love for the art of plaster. thanks :)
Morning Daniel, yes you can go over over most wood substrates providing there is no wood rot on any panels or existing boards,

I knew his answer before I read it... At his skill level, he could plaster in a rain storm by applying between the rain drops. He puts it only where he needs it.
Good morning Mr. Davis, "by applying between the raindrops," sounds like a description that one of my favorite authors 'Jack London," would use to describe a poaint, you must be a part-time poet.

Kirk and Jason’s plastering tips and techniques
Hello Kirk I live in Florida and need to fill some drill holes on my daughters new home. I’m not a stranger to masonry work but wondering if there’s a way to send you picture to determine the type of stucco finish on their house? I believe it’s the typical knock down used in Florida.
Do yourself and her a favor, and caulk them with Mor-flex as this will waterproof these holes. Stucco won't, plus if stucco is used it will pop off in time. No doubt when the holes are patched with the Mor-Flexx calking with sand in the tubes they will suck in or shrink, just add more in a few days and feather in or try to match the original finish with this easy-to-use quality caulking. Cheers 👨🏻🔬
Thank for all your video kirk, I got a question can finish stucco be sprayed?
Morning JML, of course, it can, they sell hand hoppers at all HD stores designed specifically for this purpose.
Question: have a concrete interior basement wall that has been painted with interior latex paint. It's dry and in good shape. How do I prepare wall?
Good evening Pub Dude, apply a bonding agent to it go to our amazon link and order weld crete or plaster weld.

Do you apply a scratch coat first?
yes, I applied both coats but didn't need to add scratch lines. as both coats were back to back with a same-day stucco.
Kirk master plaster I'm having a hard time finding 8 inch long dash brush. I want to buy one like you have in other dash vids. Also I can only find plastic or brown thistle tines. Thanks in advance. Live long and plaster.
Howdy James dude, in the description above click on the Amazon link, this link will show you dash brushes at low cost.
best wishes,

Can you use a spray hopper... such as what you would use in drywall finishes?
EveningTsunami, sure can, but I have it dashed before the time it takes to set up a dash gun, personally.

How would I do a dart dash on a painted surface without faking off?
Hi Kirk, if you mean how to do a stucco dash finish over a painted wall, easy apply a bonding agent like Quikrete over the painted and cleaned surface.
Now the new stucco will adhere. And, now you know.😉
Thank you.
Howdy Wouter, no worries.

How long roughly do you have to wait for the wall to be ready ??? Thanks !
Good Evening Jordan, for the dah coat about 5 to 20 minutes or touch the stucco to make certain it's not too wet, to paint, 30 days it has to cure.

How long do allow the finish coat to cure before you paint?
Evening J F, as a rule, the basecoat sets or cures for 28 days.
A bit longer won't hurt.
