In this video, we’re applying an acrylic stucco finish.
Over a cementitious finish for serious rain protection.
I Believe they purchased BMI Acrylic that I applied in this video, I'll spread whatever a homeowner has on hand, But my personal favorite Stuc-O-Flex Elastomeric Acrylic Finish.
Stuc-O-Flex Elastomeric Acrylic Finish provides a protective weathering membrane in a pre-colored, extremely durable, fade and mildew-resistant coating.
My pal Dan Johnson who works with Stuc-O-Flex is the man to call.
Dan’s an expert with all Stuc-O-Flex stuccos and stucco acrylics.
His number is 425 885-5085.
Don’t guess with your biggest investment purchase products that last longer than old kirk.
Hello everyone, take it from a 40-year exterior stucco finishing contractor.
All acrylic stucco coatings are not created equal.
In fact, some stucco acrylics are so pathetic that if they offered them to me for free, I’d have to decline, as if I applied these shitty products, I would be responsible, thereby sued or have to redo the work, where’s the savings in that nonsense.
Some folks would be shocked as one of the biggest names in cementitious stucco finishes is the worst with their acrylic stuccos.
How bad is it? We, as stucco contractors, talk with our fellow stucco contractors and, as a joke, might say, no doubt they used, Blaw, Blaw, Blaw, and this is why they are being sued or having to redo their failed acrylic finish?
We invite you to watch how acrylic stucco is applied. It’s flexible and waterproof stucco homes.
There is a lot of important information shared in this video.
Ensure the plastering contractors follow these guidelines if you consider applying an acrylic stucco to your home.

Hi Kirk. Here in Phoenix the stucco contractor installed Seneca acrylic stucco over the scratch coat which was over metal lathe. No brown coat installed over the scratch coat. We expected smooth walls as this being a contemporary home but walls came out wavvy especially when sunlight hits. He says he's done. We want no waves. My architect says the contractor should have installed brown coat in order for the wall to have been straighter. The question is can we keep trying to skim the elastomeric product or should be do something else to get this straight? Thank you for looking into this.
stucco is always wavy under critical lighting.
Nice informative video!
My question is what is effect average life of Acrylic on outside wall of the house.
forever.
Hi Kirk. I watch your videos all the time and find them very educational. I have a lanai in my house in Florida. I have an open ceiling and thinking of closing it with gypsum board. I also would like to finish it with an acrylic stucco. I was thinking of priming the boards and applying the stucco right over it without using lath in one or two coats. I also have a soffit that has a vent screen running down the middle and was thinking about finishing with some kind of light stucco finish. Would you guide me in the right direction for this one as well.
Thank you.
Lenny.
Howdy Leonid, if your exterior porch will get no weather or condensation, I'd recommend green or blue board sheetrock with a base coat and finish coat of Diamond plaster. You can buy Diamond lime plaster at the plastering material yards. They sell metal 2 inch continuous vents if yours has seen better days. Venting is necessary.👨🏻🔬
Thanks Kirk.
Kirk I have to coat a cement cap that was put on top of a stone retaining wall many years ago. The aggregate is really showing through and there are some cracks. Would you recommend a conventional stucco with float finish or acrylic? Thanks LOVE your videos
Good evening, Simon, I'd recommend an acrylic, they flex much more than conventional cementitious stuccos.

hey kirk, lovely video as always! Just a quick question I have a distributor that sells acrylic similar to this one and I have been using it as a finish coat for most of my foundation parging jobs, i have a few clients asking if i could use this to color coat and apply on a concrete staircase that is damaged and faded. Figure id ask the best in the business, thanks a again you're videos really help a fellow out :)
Hi Alex, of course, I do show an acrylic doing what you're referring to in the link. th-cam.com/video/pbm-7BW0byw/w-d-xo.html.
Hello there, would you recommend this acrylic from this company in San Jose . Stucco supply is their brand. Thanks in advance!
Hi Victor, Stucco Supply is a quality plastering yard so yes, expect good materials from them.🍾
Hello Kirk, I'm having acrylic applied to my house foundation next week. From what I understand, at the base is the original house foundation cement. On top of this, when the house was built, they applied a secondary cover of cement, also called parging. Now, in the acrylic process, they will REMOVE the secondary cover of cement. Is this correct?
Howdy Duraanceau dude, without seeing what you have, I'm guessing.
The terms parging come from the UK; you take lime putty, mix it with water, and cover any and everything as a protection fro erosion and or defense against bugs.
It's basically painting the exterior with lime water.
However, in this country, the USA, it seemed to mean skim coating.
Two completely different procedures.
You would be wise to ask and not assume that your contractor is going to or not going to do this. And most importantly, why.

Hi Kirk. When do you recommend the use of an acrylic stucco? I had the Davlin product recommended to me today to repair my cracked stucco and wondered why I'd never seen it featured in your videos. So I googled and found this old video.
As in 8 years ago... I've watched quite a few of your videos in the last 2-3 years :)
Howdy Kerry, I used BMI Acrylic stucco in this video, other excellent acrylics are, Dry-Vit, Carsons, and Western and my favorite Stuc-O-Flex.www.stucoflex.com/stuc_o_flex.html/.
Kirk....you do not have to use that green float you can run that whole wall out if your fast enough and have someone come right behind you with plastic float....that is the float you should be using on that materiel...
Good evening Chad, there are many ways to skin a cat.
Often times I will float behind three plasterers, but not this time.

Can I do the first two coats with cement stucco then finish with acrylic finish??as long as I apply primer on scratch coat
Howdy Fix it dude, your don't need a primer on the scratch coat.
The scratch coat gets embedded into the lath, the second coat adheres to the scratch coat by suction, you wet the scratch coat then apply the second coat, they bond permanently by suction. This is called a mechanical bond in plastering language.
Before you apply any stucco acrylic finish. you must first paint or roll on the primer that goes before and with your chosen stucco acrylic.
watch the video again. I do mention this.

The paper behind my stucco has deteriorated and water now leaks down to the plate and inside the room. I used an elastomeric paint and it has worked for years but now with these El Niño rains it's coming back in. Is this acrylic a good choice for sealing the stucco? Is there a better fix ?
Howdy alldaymckay most of the paints last between 7 to 12 years if applied properly, that means, pressure washing the walls well, and then applying a coat or two of the best primer you can get your hands on, the paint is not as effective as the primer.
Almost all acrylic stucco systems last easily twice as long as paint, but are a lot more work as you can see in this video. But well worth it in the long run.
Best wishes,
Kirk giordano Plastering
I have an elastomeric painted lace pattern stucco house and I want to make it smoother. Can you skim coat over elastomeric?
Howdy Lisette, yes you can, there are do's and dont's with all products, so choose a fella or gal, who knows the rules of stucco applications as Old Kirk says, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded plasterer,
The other 30% is application.
Cheers,
kirk giordano
Kirk, when you primed first, was it bonding agent or some actual paint primer?
Good afternoon plaster dude, bonding agents are usually for cementitious products all acrylic's use a primer.

Santa Barbara finish overbrick I can't seem to get the ripples fromshowing how can we do t thatsmooth
Howdy Rick, you cant apply a finish coat over bricks, You first have to skim coat the bricks as Finish coats are specifically engineered to go only an eight of an inch thick. 🍻
Hey Kirk
Love your videos man, must have watched 400 or so by now....... A quick question for you buddy. What brand of sponge floats do you use?
Over here in England. Me and my guys use sponge floats made by Refina (Top European brand for all platering tools, in my opinion) but would love to give your ones a try.....
Howdy Tommy, thank you, hate to say this but I have no clue as to the company that manufactures the green sponge floats.
I go to westside building materials and buy them by the case maybe 40 to 50 at a time, store in my garage and use them until they are beat up.
Best wishes,

How do synthetics stay wet in a closed container indefinitely? Do they not contain cement? Just sand and acrylic? Any lime?
Hody Mojo JoJo, Dude, corecrectomundo. Lime sand and acrylic paint.🍾
no synthetic stucco does not have lime, or real sand in it. its a fake sand aggregate and acrylic. @@StuccoPlastering

What is the trowel call that you use for the worm finish
I'm using a swim-pool 20 x 5 trowel. I recommend a regular Marshalltown 14 X 5 trowel for most folks.👨🏻🔬
plastic float
Kirk, how do you get a finish on a stucco wall that matches the background finish on your web page?? Plastic hard float??
Good evening Robert, any trowel will do that, it's called a skip trowel finish.
You first apply a base then come back with a skip of the same base. Type in on our channel search bar how to apply a skip trowel finish.

I have cracks in my cementitious stucco. Can I put an acrylic primer and stucco over this ? My house is in the bahamas and cant really get any help there.
Howdy Allan, I'll trade you my home with no cracks in the Bay area for yours in the Bahamas?
Yes you can apply an acrylic primer and or finish over your home, you can also buy the best paint and primers available like Sherman Williams, cost about 80 bucks per gallon but this paint and others are so thick and good that they flood cracks and move with the structure, thus, won't open again. As all products, skills are necessary for applications.

Thanks Kirk,
My house got hit hard during hurricane mathew, and the help is next to none in the islands but we have the best fishing and diving.I did buy sherwin williams paint from the states but the cracks in the stucco are too big to adequately fill. Is there another product that you could suggest that I apply that is PAINTABLE ?
I am in Arizona where the temperature reaches 115 F some summers. I would like to stucco the top of my raised patio that is made out of concrete blocks. Should I use acrylic stucco? Will it survive the heat of summer temperatures? Thanks
Hi Jerry, yes of course it will, however, this material will take some skill applying in the heat, especially if it's over 100 degrees,
Some of plasters whine about the cost of the material saying we pay lots for a can when it's full of sand, but this sand is what makes the product so strong.
Best wishes, and have a Fantastic day!
Kirk Giordano’s DIY plastering tips
I want to thank you for your videos and letting me know that the acrylic stucco would stand up to the summer temperatures. I know from your videos that you don't like to suggest a brand but I need to know a range of products to choose from. Thanks for all your help.
Hi Jerry, I would use BMI, Dry-Vit, Carsons or Sto acrylics.
Another great one is Stucco-Flex, but it cost as much to ship as the product to purchase,
I did a home that was featured on a magazine cover in Tiburon 20 years ago and was quite impressed, by again the delivery cost, outweigh the use.
Cheers, and have a Fantastic day! Kirk Giordano’s DIY plastering tips
Jerry Ward Jerry, acrylic finish can handle a lot, but cement finish is going to be more UV resistant in the long run and hold its original color a little better. Acrylics and cement finish have advantages. For very hot sun, I tend to prefer cement. As Kirk mentions, acrylic finish will cost and there are differences. It may be a good idea to talk to a local supplier. .
I have not been able to find a distributor for the acrylic stucco. I would like to try the concrete this summer if I can locate a supplier in Casa grand this winter. Thanks for the information. Jerry
You stoners know what I'm talking about... Lol... Good video again. Seems odd that they painted over that nice maintenance-free coating.
Hey Black Swan, they painted it as they were not sure where the water was coming in at.
