Howdy, all in this video, we’re explaining while demonstrating how to improve the look of, CMU, or cinder blocks.
This same stucco method also works for stone or rock walls; even the red clay Terra-Cotta was used about 80 to 100 years ago.
If you want to see how Terra Cotta blocks are covered with cement stucco and made 4 times as strong as usual, click here. • Stucco over TerraCotta...
Terra-cotta block walls are still used in many parts of the world today.
FYI, no chemical bonding was necessary, "Weld-create- nor Quickrete," as the natural mechanical bond was more effective. New stucco can be applied over the cementitious Blocks.
Note it's necessary to keep the blocks moist with a water hose to achieve permanent adhesion.
If anyone thinks, man, ole Kirk is working that man to death, that’s bull.
Edgar Velasquez is my nephew. I didn’t realize he would spoil the crap out of me, bring the stucco, and drop it on my hawk.
This shaved an hour off our day and saved my knees and back.
Ratios for sand and stucco mixing by the book.
How much sand is for each coat of stucco?
Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 2-1/4 to 4 parts sand, brown coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 3 to 5 parts sand, and finish coats are 1 part cement to 1-1/2 to 3 parts sand.
We often mix 3 parts of sand with every part of cement plaster.
The cement plaster we use is any Portland cement, such as Quikrete or Sakrete.
Note, Rapid Set or Greencore are sold at Home Depot but don’t need added sand, just water.

Hey Kirk, the walls are beautiful and all the neighbors love the finished look, especially us! It was great meeting you, Jay and the crew. You're a very generous man, taking the time to video your work and then upload it for others to learn some of your secrets to beautiful stucco and plastering.
Evening Harlen, thank you so much, it was a pleasure meeting you and your family also.
The way I see it is, teaching folks how to make a legal living gives a sense of pleasure knowing people learn plus enjoy doing it themselves, sometimes anyway.

I love it! Truck breaks down and gotta fix it to get home. We've all been there. Over here in Vermont better make sure you got good tires in winter or you might not be gettin home during a big storm
Howdy Paulzo, been there too brother, got caught once two hours from home in the country with my truck lights out.
Tried to make it to the highway so I could see using the cars before and behind me, big mistake, it was too dark to see to find the freeway, slept in the truck and drove home the next day, it was sort of like camping just a lot more uncomfortable.
Peace love and happiness to all.

Evening Brian dude we did a job about 9 months ago with this in mind, I have been to this job about 7 times and still no paint,
I don't have this kind of free time on my hands, as all cement plaster has to cure at least 28 days anyhow, we mainly show how to achieve finishes, have we matched everyone on the money, no, as no one can do that every time, but we try.

Kirk Giordano’s Plastering answers to life’s issues
Kirk, Question for you....First, excellent video. You seem like a natural "Instructor".My contractor applied stucco over smooth concrete (against my wishes) and as I expected, the stucco delaminated. Is there a bonding agent I can apply or do you recomment rouging up the existing surface first? It's a small area as we step out the double doors, maybe 15 SF max. Jack Cassidy P.E.
Howdy Jack, in order for the stucco to apply to smooth concrete it has to be super clean, or etched or a bonding agent applied.
I suggest if it's come off, use a wire brush and a water hose, to clean off excess dust and film from stucco, then apply a bonding agent. Then you're ready for stucco.

Great Vids, Thanks. My cinder block house is painted.. Do I have to remove the paint? That might not be possible/practical.
Good evening Mark Souter, No, you have to pressure wash all painted surfaces extremely well as nothing stick to dust or dirty surface, and then apply a bonding agent directly to the walls, never in the mix, as this would dilute the bonding agent rendering it useless.
Bonding agents can be Larsons, Weld Crete, or Quikrete sold at HD or lowes.😉

The most important part it was the texture what happened the run out of battery 🪫 lol, Ty for showing how to do the plaster.
@@BarGolum Morning Bar Dude, we’ve run out of batteries many times. I’ll be rambling to myself when my son says, dad the battery died a half hour ago.
We are amid a new pool build and had the PB's team put in a CMU wall. The wall was supposed to be stucco, although, upon research, they may have used surface-bonding cement. Whatever they used, we can see the block lines beneath the material's surface. We plan to have the wall painted, and I'm curious if we should expect the paint will cover the outlines of the blocks? Or do you think we should speak to the builder? We're already seeing an area where the wall is cracking, so I'm generally concerned. Do you have any recommendation of how to bring this up or what to say in case we're met with the "oh that's normal" response in order to keep us quiet.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my question. As a fellow TH-camr, I wanted to leave you a super chat but I'm not seeing the option to.

Kirk, I have just recently discovered your youtube channel. And boy am I glad I did. I need your advice on what products and the ratios i should use on my retaining walls. I live in Massachusetts and the house was built in 1950 and the walls (poured concrete form boards
) have a heavy dash finish on them. Most of the original finish has either over time deteriorated or i have chiseled off. I have done some patch work, wire brushed and pressure washed them ready for the heavy dash finish. Over the last few weeks you have given me the confidence i need to tackle this job and i must say very much entertained me at the same time. I can tell you really know your business because i too have been in a trade (autobody) for over 30 years. Hope you have the time to respond. My best to you and your lovely family, William

Stucco Stuff by the plasterer who can fix any disaster
Just saw the end Kirk, sorry for your belt brother, however it was a nice small story with a cup of coffee ☕ in the end.
Howdy Dimitris, this was just another day at the office for us. we apply stucco and fix broken stuff as it happens. It was nothing we couldn't handle.
Cheers brother.🍾
Love to see how this looks in few years after a good rain. The block joints will show because you didn't attach wire to the block and or use a fiber mesh for anti fracture. Yes we know how long you have been doing stucco, but it doesn't mean you have been doing it right! DELAMINATION have you heard of that one? Well I guess it keeps other people in business to come behind and fix things.
Howdy, O T, that's just jealousy talking plus you are sort of ignorant, but I won't hold that against you.
Fiberglass mesh tape would do nothing to stop any exterior cinder or concrete block or concrete retaining walls from moving.
A far as stucco netting, this has no benefit, in fact, it's counterproductive, instead two porous cementitious materials will adhere permanently as long as there is an excellent mechanical bond, this means misting the existing walls with the proper amount of water then applying your stucco, they adhere by suction.
Of course, the wall has to be free of any and all dust.
FYI, Using words out of context does not make you a plasterer, it just makes you sound foolish.
Live long and plaster
Images of Kirk Giordano’s Plastering projects and tips
I said attaching wire which means Diamond lath or others call it expandable metal. Then I use a slurry of full acrylic thin set with a sponge or brush to get the mechanical bond to the wall. At this point I then burn in my mud to the wall and wire. In this application even if the wall moves, or expansion and contraction happens I am still bonded to the lath. I am not saying you don't know what you are doing. Obviously you have talent, but individually we can't know everything. Just for the record, I do tile and have been floating walls for quite a long time. Additionally I have done plenty of different stucco applications. Since day one in tile, my boss taught us to NEVER float directly to block, brick or stone on a wall without wire. She was right. Lastly if you want to see an example of what I am referring to. Have a look at Robin Williams retaining wall by China beach (Sea Cliff) after a good rain. That's exactly my point and I see it all over the U.S and Europe. People doing it the wrong way.
That's looks cool Kirk. That green float really helps melt it in and blend those pancakes. I saw that finish today but it was a dryvit type and smooth. Thought it looked weird. Stucco deffinatly looks better
Happy holidays Joseph, thank you, that's how they did the original finish.

I like that you only do stucco. That's all we did when I started. We gone to durrock and foam now days it seems. Boss doesn't like to stucco because how bad it cracks over OSB. If we do it now we basecoat and mesh the walls after cure time . Turns out really nice though.
Is this coat prep for future painting or a finish coat?
Hi, this was the basecoat, and we finished it at the end of the video. The home owner painted after the cure time, which is usually 30 days.

Hi Kirk. Long time fan here.
Silly question, but do all of you guys always wear a white dress shirt when you're working? How many white shirts do you have and whats the reason for wearing it while working? Thanks!
Excellent video. Pros sure make it look easy :)
Howdy J R Dude, this was sort of fun and easy, plus we made some dough, what a country.
Cheers, peace & harmony
