Other uses for Kemset Ekoplast-50 plaster finishes. • Stucco walls with lime...
These straw bales and similar structures have been around since the beginning of time.
They keep humans safe from freezing rains and cold weather, as well as predators with large teeth and appetites.
The materials change or adapt from cob, which is clay, sand, and straw, to dirt, and yes, Dung, to lime stucco and many other outer skins for waterproofing.
Stray bale homes can't burn as once covered, there is "no oxygen" for a fire to start or remain started; one just needs to watch the old movie Backdraft, directed by Ron Howard in 1991, with Kurt Russel and Robert DeNiro, to understand this concept.
And no, rodents, such as mice or rats, can't live in it as the straw can't be used can't be used as food.
Actually, mice can live in it, as they can live in anything with holes, such as straw, caves, wood, or even steel structures.
But these critters would still need to come out of hiding to eat edible food, drooped by us untidy humans. I'm sure they love pizza crumbs.
FYI, Kemset Ekoplast 50 is a Lye free plaster;

Howdy Dodge Dude, thank you.
That's some nice plastering 😮
Thank you, for us another fun day at the office.
Love your vids, and love how you passed your trade on to your children! Don't forget to Retire and enjoy your life. Nothing is guaranteed.
Don't forget to breath and do some work in life. When you die people will look at what you did for the world.
Love the info in the videos Kirk, don't forget to breathe
LOL, I do get carried away.
Kirk...Thank you for the informative straw bale interior plastering demonstration.✅
Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome Kirk,! You are Great!
Great job! Looks amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Great vid. Can't wait to see you in the next one.
Coming soon!
Love to see a master at work.
Hey Joe, thank you
best wishes to you and your family brother. thanks for the tutorial.
Hola Envios, you are welcome, cheers
Love the bumps kirk ,well done
Thank you Michael.
Master Class, from 🌧️☔ 🇮🇪☘️ Wish we had your California weather 🌞⛱️, Keep Swinging the Trowel 😉
Thank you, I will; as for the weather, we have some blizzards rambling through at this time.
Kirk as always, love your work!
Thank you.
I’m truly fascinated by this whole deal….. I bet it’s really going to be comfortable inside there and I’d like to do that someday
Plus, their deck offers views of hundreds of miles of the surrounding area. It's quite the showhouse.
Hikmet is the man! He sold me my first 15 bags of ekoplast 50. Took a bit of a learning curve to get the mix right but when its right its right!
Hickman, is the man, his plaster hardens like granite.
The plasterer Master 😀👍
Thank you, my friend.
Straw Bale is freaking cool. Never seen it in Massachusetts. I would also want the "character " and un even style. Love rustic
It’s fun, I would like to stucco 3 a year if possible simply for the workout
Brilliant video interesting stuff Kirk keep it coming. 😎
Thank you, we”ll do.
Very interesting Kirk🇺🇸✝️
It was a fun project
Great stuff. Thanks for all the helpful videos. I visited your website today and had to laugh. I'm originally from Sonora.
Glad you like them! Carl and Dan are located in Sonora or should I say, Dodge Ridge snowboarding.
Can I come and work on a project with you? I learned so much watching you work I would love to show you what I learned. ❤
Good strong product🤙🏻
Thanks for the visit, glad you enjoyed it.
I really enjoy your videos kirk
Thank you, Dan
Ron Howard wasn't in Backdraft.....you're thinking of the speech DeNiro gave to young Baldwin with the steel garbage can.
That’s looks lovely to use! Beats sand & torment or bonding
Yes indeed! And very lightweight also.
Agreed 👍, I wish I had a uneven, rustic look like this. The northeast ,blue board and plaster rules.all home construction. So boring and uniform
@@jamie.777 I prefer my home to look like a hobbit home built in the side of a mountain💃
Lime plaster is the best. Bravo Kirk.
Lime plaster does have its advantages.
Super interesting, my niece built straw houses out west on a reserve and they used clay.
Evening, Cob is a structural mixture of clay, sand, and straw, used to build walls. However it's nowhere as strong or long lasting as lime plastering. We have to use what's available, folks even use dirt or mud, if that's all that available. However rain will turn it back into mud.
Nice thank you guys
Your welcome, Dan
Excellent work Kirk you’re a master. I love this project. I don’t want to fault the owner, but those are some terrible windows.
Thank you, we just apply the stucco.
The closest company that does this is 400 miles away no one in my area does. Me & hubby are building our straw bale & this video is so helpful. All your videos are great. PleAse give more tips for dealing with straw bale. We want it air tight
Good evening Lee, thank you, you can depend on us for sound advice.
Miss you guys 🥺
Man, were always here.
Thank you.
You bet.
Cleanest Shirt on the West Coast!!!
LOL, I do tend to like staying clean. It’s habit at this point.
You can add pozzalans to lime mortars/renders etc to increase their hardness if required
I feel like this is a QVC infomercial for plastering 😂😂😂… no disrespect whatsoever, fun interesting content!
It is an infomercial.
I love thatKirk is wearing baseball catching shinguards
They are so comfortable because of the fat calf straps, so much in fact, if forget to take them off then start the truck and realize I'm still wearing them.
The normal knee pads dig into my skin and hurt and continue to fall when I walk.
Mantap bos ku sangat bermanfaat kami selalu belajar dari chenel anda salam satu propesi 🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇩
Thank you, my fellow plasterer. Best wishes,
hell of a arm workout guy!!
You would think so, but after so many years, our arms rarely give out.

That comes near the end
@@barfy4751 no doubt
Alright great video 😊😂😁😎😜
Evening John, you are too kind, thank you.
As aways, thanks for your videos! Question... why did you use the structolite and kemset product on different walls? Thanks, again. brian
Carl and Dan, used lime stucco on all the walls except this one, as many folks asked for an alternative lime plaster, I called my pal, Hickman in L.A. who promptly sent me these bags of Kemset plaster, simply to show as an alternative to traditional stucco.
I like your knee pads Kirk. What type are they. I like going on my knees too. I know one bricklayer. All his low work he is on his knees to no bending over on low work. I know a number of tradespeople. plumbers, bricklayers with fused vertebra. So its a great idea to look after your body. I have done away with lime over 10 years ago. The best thing I ever did. Even with white set. No lime. Nice video.
Morning Ron, they are baseball umpire knee pads, they stay on without cutting your circulation off. And comfortable, I buy them used on eBay for about ten bucks. New they cost a hundred who wants to pay so much to kneel in mud.
I bought a cheap 2x4 just like yours at Home Depot once !
A two by fore in considered a stud, like me, what does that have to do with this video.
neat stuff Kemset,have you ever add color to it ? for maybe a thick recolor on a house over a bump and brush?
No, but it's possible to add pigments as it is a white plaster base.
@@StuccoPlastering Thanks ill let you know if i try it.
Reminds me of plastering over adobe walls. I think you should get a 5' mud board stand. Do you do Venetian Plastering?
Your right a bigger board is always better, I've had my share of Lime plastering
Hi Kirk. Do you use the same kemset product on the partition walls with sheetrock?
No, Carl and Dan only did the stucco work over the straw-bale walls.
I used to do that work
St Anthony Orthodox monastery AZ
It's an honest day's work. I love doing it.
This is awesome. Do you have any videos of doing hempcrete?
No, sorry
@StuccoPlastering That's alright. I still appreciate the education your family provides. I wish some of you lived out in Minnesota.
@@lprice5583 thank you. I prefer FloridA
Is type s mortar whoch is called lime and sold in new england the same "lime" you mix with sand for plaster? And is there any risk in using unwashed sand dug from the site in such a mix if it is indeed mostly sand?
With this product it's all in the bag you just add water. Using unwashed sand is considered not good as it may contain, salt.
Can you apply lime veneer on dens glass installed inside of a tiny home with out sealing it? Or do you recommend sealing it first?
I have only heard of Densglass being attached to exteriors, thus do not know how to finish it inside, I would guess if we lath and plaster it if it’s attached to the outside. Sheetrock can be applied over it and finished. However this is just a guess? Good luck, remember luck is the residue of research. Keep googling the question until you find the correct answer.
How do you mount the lathe? I heard there was a product called K Lathe?
With 6 inch U-Shaped clips
👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿
those are liquid rocks you're playing with there... Impressive
That is an interesting analogy as it’s true, very clever my friend.
Going old school!
Just explaining some options while visiting my sons in Sonara.
Kirk, haven't seen your videos in a long time. The outside scenery looks like Big Foot Country! How's Lou?
Great video Kirk.
Howdy, Luuu's good, thanks for asking, yea, these folks own a hundred acres, with views that stretch for hundreds of miles in all directions.
❤❤❤❤
💃🕺🏼🥷🏾
To me it always seems like Kirk is mixing up inches and centimeters. Stucco 4-6 inches thick is about 10-15 cm!
Howdy, I do tend to be old school and use inches as a rule. th-cam.com/video/xvQX8VqAumI/w-d-xo.html/ Apply stucco six inches thick.
I can’t imagine being the cabinet guy who has to build and install against a straw bail wall.
These houses have been built for decades I’m sure they have a 2 x 4 wall or some kind of a wood structure for kitchens
@@mr.kenslifeshop4034 I totally agree. I was just making a lame joke.
@@millroyboy07 haha yeah… i’m sure these houses have their issues I wonder how long they last?
Nice work, but there must be a more efficient, less strenuous way of applying the plaster. Then, work with the trowel to finish. Possibly a sprayer of sorts?
For us, I had a tommy gun at one time that took 10 men to operate for many years. I'll take this fun workout any day.
I've read that people are adding silicone to stucco on the outside of their homes (in the mixture) as you don't have to water it for days, have you tried this? I heard it also makes it stronger? Cement based stucco.
Hi Mike, No, I haven't heard of silicone being added to stucco, as that would not make sense. Silicone is a caulking used for waterproofing aquariums, windows, bathtubs, and such. In my humble opinion, the stucco would neutralize silicone and render it useless.
Now, adding polystyrene plastic into stucco as it serves a similar purpose and has been time-tested by the experts as beneficial. By the way, I did a video on all the things that can and have been added to stucco for strength. th-cam.com/video/yQiKYH_fuZ0/w-d-xo.html/ What can and has been added to stucco for strength.
@@StuccoPlasteringAh, okay. I guess it's only an experimental thing? I read about it online that it made their cement and stucco stronger, they didn't have to water it, it prevented cracking in their experiment.
I guess anything is possible, there is so much experimental manipulation of stucco materials for anyone to really keep up with.
What would be the equivalent lime in Europe be ?
Would it be NHL's?
Or quicklime?
All limes in Europe are the real deal, not so much here, unless imported fro Europe.
👍
What's the purpose of the shin pads?
I use them as knee pads as they are comfortable. Regular knee pads slide down unless the straps are fastened so tight they cut the blood circulation. These, I forget I’m wearing them.
New to the channel. I enjoyed the video. I'm confused by some of your lingo Kirk. You keep saying, "6, 7, 8" thick". I must be confused. You would need a dump truck of that white stuff to make a wall that thick. Can you clear this up?
Howdy Willy, we used seven 40-pound bags to complete this wall far from a truckload. A technique not shone is that I followed the humpty and bumbby pattern, but it appears to be flat. It's not.
weewillywanka5904 asked a simple question. I'll try to get a better answer. Clearly, when you say that this wall is 6"-7"-8"
thick, it is not that thickness to the bales. Even where and when you showed us that you were inserting your finger"all the way in", your were inserting less than an inch. Seven 40# bags would not come close to such thicknesses.At least not in
more than a few filled in spots or holes. I'm guessing those thicknesses are referring to the variance of the wall rather
than the actual depth of the material being applied. The 3/4"to1" thick window casings being still proud of the finished surface makes this even more obvious. I too am somewhat confused as to why you would not clarify this. In the trades
we have a saying, "teaching enough to make someone dangerous"... With all due respect, it seems like this is the case.
@@lukula2934 we did use 7 bags, unless you have used this material and are a professional, you can’t be expected to understand how much and how thick it can be applied. Normal stucco depth for covering straw-bales is about 3 inches thick. Even if the bales are stacked perfectly, these were not stacked for perfection intentionally. Thus three to 9 inches gives the wavy look they were seeking. The wall waviness is in all directions. You don’t have to understand this, I do.
Nice job not easy that
Thank you, I not only find it easy but fun too, this is why I continue to plaster.
Nice job. Did you sell knives at costco ? That microphone ..........LOL
Howdy William, only on Sundays.
Kirk, I sure dont understand how that doesnt just spider web full of shrinkage cracks? That is my biggest problem to overcome when I plaster.
Howdy, unlike taping mud which is gypsum, which does indeed crack like a dropped egg, Kemset's limestone rarely spider cracks no matter how thick it's applied.
👍🏾🙏🏾
Evening my fellow tradesman, thank you
The fire triangle is Fuel-Heat-oxygen. and yes, lack of any one of these, NO fire.
You my friend are a scientist. Me, just a stucco dude.
True professionals making it look effortless. I've done some DIY lime plastering.... it's about 1278% more difficult that how it looks 😂😂
Good afternoon Customized Dude, man, I like your style, thank you. Cheers.
😍
Thank you Richard
Never heard of straw bale house. Who knew.
Howdy In and Out lover, things that make you go hmmmmm.
No wire?? Just straight on the straw,??
Wow!!!
There is stucco netting, look closer.
We have a really great peoduct in UK called KRend
In the UK most products are really great as Lime is readily available, here in California we are handcuffed to what's available.
Are you able to hang a TV on the wall?
I've hung many tv's on wall s,the idea is to find the studs, straw bale home have no studs unless incorporated for such reasons.

Hydrophobic means it has a irrational fear of water?
I'm just the stucco dude, not the engineer. th-cam.com/video/XoyLuRIGV64/w-d-xo.html/
I might have been living under a rock because I've never heard of a straw bale house. I guess I'll have to research this some more because my first thought is Three Little Pigs
Pretty sure the mass of that wall is wayyyy more than what you’ll find in a standard house.
House's made of "Wattle and daub" or straw has been around for centuries. www.google.com/search?q=wattle+and+daub&oq=Wattle+and+Daub&aqs=chrome.0.0i131i433i512j0i512l9&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
Oh my god the poor guy going up and down the scaffold. There has to be a better way?
I wouldn't have it any other way, I love this workout, plus get paid to do it, can't beat that. On second thought, I did this wall for free to prove a point of alternative plasters, That's just the kind of guy I am.
Jack of all trades master of none. I plastered for 53 years.
Its a bad habit of feeling jealous and envy at a fellow tradesman, you need to work on that. Best wishes.
Hydro-phobic means the Turkish plaster is afraid of the water… Since you asked….
That is mighty interesting, so, why is 6 afraid of 7?
You should never use a trowel bigger than your hawk.
Thanks for the tip, I have done videos plastering with my shoe, surly my shoe is smaller then my Hawk, or was it? I do wear size 12?
Thought it was kinda funny
I get a kick out of doing it.
No buckets or high stand
With a mud board buckets are not necessary
Please say "yuge"
???
But Kirk, what if a rat gets in there WHILE it's on fire
Google the old movie, “King Rat” I hear they taste like chicken with a toxic twist. Yummy! On a serious side, Properly built Straw-Bale homes are impossible to catch fire.
What if what if what if
Excalent question????
Hey Kirk, this is awesome , great to watch. I’ve never plastered over straw. Hope all is well in San Fran. Here is a video of some quoins stones I’ve done recently here in Ireland th-cam.com/video/HdRZ8gygcYo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=LpAa2PIKNlBJ34ey
Howdy my fellow plasterer, beautiful and really fast work, Cheers.
Wait a minute. First he says that it can't catch fire because it can't get oxygen but then goes on to say it's breathable. Hmm. So which is it?
Hi Trarvisk, it's both. Things that make you go hmmmmm.
It means moisture can go out but not in😂
@@mule666 lol. Kirk always says stuff that doesn't make sense. Like when he said that mixing 2 bags of 20 minute mud together makes it go off quicker.....
LOL, it's technical but true, as each bag set at at specific time. Too deep to get into here. This doesn't mean, I'm not wrong sometimes, hell ask my ex, she'll tell you that. th-cam.com/video/gAzcHe8K8G4/w-d-xo.html/.
lol kirk notice in a lot of ur videos u talk about ur trowel a lot and u refer it to concrete I’m a union cement finisher out of Pittsburgh pa we do use 5inch trowels many of us use 5x18 inch finish trowels u always say concrete trowels r 4 or 3 inch’s wide
You're no doubt a journeyman or master craftsman. We do tend to prefer the larger trowels.
Alot of Mudd going on that ground,what a waste😢😢
Type in the old dude named, Isaac Newton, he’ll perhaps teach you of this weird thing called gravity. Or perhaps drop an apply off a cliff and watch closely the direction it falls, this may clear up a few things in your head.
