This plastering video explains the most common cement stucco samples, textures, or finishes on your home, allowing you to choose accurately.
Most stucco dudes don’t mind providing a sample to ensure you get what you like.
After all, you will be looking at it perhaps for 50 years.
FYI, I added a second part to this video to show a solid color finish being applied to explain what I was referring to about steel troweling; applying the third coat makes hairline cracks rarer to appear. • Stucco samples
Howdy, friends; if you need to see what kind of sample for texture or stucco finish coats, you have come to the right place.
• Stucco concrete retain... Stucco over concrete.
• Acrylic stucco over re... Acrylic stucco over traditional stucco finish.
• Replicating stones wit... Making brick designs in cement coats.
• Stucco over block reta... White stucco for a painting of block walls.
As a skilled tradesman and homeowner, yet a very amateur stucco guy thank you for sharing all you knowledge.
Atta Boy Ray, thank you, my friend.

Sharing stucco secrets and or common sense tips
Somebody said it before me... 😁
Yes! Exactly
Lol 😂
So true
You said, "Portland Cement has sand, concrete had aggregate." I understood what you ment. But to clarify for people that aren't in any form of construction and literally don't know a thing about cement, stucco, concrete E.T.C. Portland is a type of cement. Portland is the Main cement ingredient in MOST mixes that is the binding agent. Portland doesn't have sand in it. Stucco has sand mixed in it. For example you go to HomeDepot Or Lowes, you find bags of straight Portland cement. (Then u can mix your own ratio of sand to it to make stucco, motor or concrete.) Or there is Mason mix, or S-type, s-stype stucco, concrete 3000psi, concrete 5000 psi. e.t.c. Pure cement by itself once water is added is SO sticky you almost cannot get it off your shovel let alone work with it. That's why it's mixed with sand, stone etc. Portland is type of cement. Portland mixed with sand is called Morter. Usually 3-1 ratio, 3 sand 1 Portland. This creates more volume, texture and makes it usable. That same mixture and then add (example) 3/8" stone to the Portland, sand mix this makes concrete. Some mix Portland, sand, calcium then their stone. There is a few types of mixs and multiple variations of this. I.E demographics makes a difference depending on the avaliable aggregates.
That's my brief example. But I just felt was needed based of of his comment, " Portland with sand, or Portland with stone is concrete."
It wasn't entirely true/accurate. Very vague. I hope this helps anyone who didn't know understand better. Also some brands premixed, i.e already in bag's, stucco or motor do not have a good blend of cement/sand ratio. This in turn makes them not as sticky. This is easily solved by adding acrylic glue to your mix. I also not only add it to my mix but also brush it on the wall before applying the stucco. This is also good to do first before any application, then in between coats, i.e after scratch coat. This is good using mortor too. Example fixing concrete steps or cracks on sidewalks or curbs. Brush on the acrylic glue it helps concrete, mortor, stucco etc bond to whatever your applying it too.
Hope this clarified for anyone that was unsure.

What about when you do a mesh coat over the brown on a 3 coat system and then apply a finish coat that is an integral color coat? Isn't that the best way to try and prevent cracking?
Can you steel trowel a one coat over brick?
hi kirk enjoy watching on you-tube I have ? our stucco house built in early 1900's need some little patch areas . It looks like who ever did it back in them days threw it on . how do you match that up

Hey kirk...im new to this stucco concrete thing,but will be moving to florida from va where most of the homes are stucco and im trying to learn about this stuff in preparation for doing work to my home when i get it, so pardon my simple or dumb question. If i i scratch coat a wall or something how long does that have to dry before i can do my brown coat...and then my texture?...thanks man...love the informative videos,im learning alot. Its great having such a pro help out us diy homeowners...keep up the awesome videos!
Evening Gary Moseley, easy peasy lemon squeezy,
Most scratch coats need 48 hour prior to the second coat, what happens if you wait a month? nothing, it's actually good for the wall as long as dust doesn't accumulate.
what happens if you apply the next day, nothing again, but it's best to wait until the stucco has had a chance to fully cure for strength purposes.
With new finish coats I allow the wall at least two weeks in summer and sometime up to 3 weeks in the winter, as these two coats have to cure properly, hydrate through this waiting period. (hose the walls down with water)
You want the base coat to fully cure as it will crack, it's supposed to, now when the third coat is applied hopefully the house has settled.
FYI, if the base coat stucco cracks so will the finish coat so cause the base coat to crack ahead your last and final coat.
Bests wishes,

Howdy Kid Dude, we do try and explain so that even my dear old grandad can understand.😉
What about a wooden float finish that's what we do in Ireland
Howdy Wheaten Bread Dude, we have them here too, I prefer the hard rubber myself as opposed to the wood or plastic floats for compacting stucco. All three of these floats give the same appearance but are mainly used for compacting and trueing out new stucco walls.

how long do you let the second coat sit before doing the heavy float (Wet) (bottom left)? I have some concrete block columns I want to apply this finish onto. Scratch coat was applied years ago. I'm finally getting to it. Do I need to add an adhesion additive or anything? Also, can I get any of these coatings at the box stores?Love your videos. very informative.
Morning T dude, it takes practice to know when to float the second coat plus depends on the weather.
I buy my materials at Westside building materials.

Kirk....what kind of lumbar brace do you wear? I sure would like to talk and get your input about dealing with back pain while working etc...i hope you see this buddy.
Howdy Randy, I wear this belt as plastering places so much weight on one hand while taking off small amounts with the other, this tweaks one's spine. Thus the handy back brace. 🤔

Same reason here. When I was in High School, we spend Easter Break down in Mexico doing mission work and one task was three coat stucco job. Hawking in 115*F will teach you a solid work ethic.
By the way, it is my second least favorite trade to do, worst is insulation as despite wearing masks, it gets EVERYWHERE and with sweat pouring out it sticks to you something fierce. No bathing facilities for the week we were down there, by the way. I do miss strenuous work especially helping others.
@@adrielrowley i would love to do that honestly. I agree with you though insulation in anything over 90 is pure torture. Im also not a big fan of roofing but I love floating walls.
@@StuccoPlastering Kirk, you deserve an Oscar. Thank you for making the world a better plaace.
@@StuccoPlastering Thank you for the vids. If you were doing a a brown coat on a 24 ft wall, would you start at the top or bottom? & does it matter, or is it just preference?
please keep doin what you do.. of all the videos..yours was epic and real :)
Howdy Nolt dude, thank you, will try as it's sort of therapeutic at this stage.

hi kirk we got hold back on some chrismas money because the stucco guys didnt apply enouph hot stucco so the bricks bleed thru so they had to redue it bummer.
Howdy Colon dude, actually you don't, as it's their responsibility.
When going over bricks or cinder or concrete blocks all licensed stucco dudes, know you have to apply a certain thickness or the grout line, will bleed through.
Call them back and have them lay another coat over their mistake, this way they learn properly,
This is how I learned, by coming back at my time and cost, the righteous way.
Plus you'd be doing them a favor by their learning, I have made this mistake once too.
Have not since, as I had to go back and repair at my cost. There's an old joke, below.
( What do you tell a guy with two black eyes?
Nothing, he's already been told twice.)
Allow them the opportunity to see, and repair their own craft, this will help them in the long run.

I just noticed that this was 10 years old, lol...
I see that you scratch and double with the same materials?
Traditionally,
we scratch with Portland and 1/2sealbond,then double with masonry and a shovel Portland.
The cracking is a minor thing that usually happens when drying/curing. But, after the finish is applied,it's all good!
All my stuff now is over Styrofoam, and bases and finishes are acrylic based.
In Canada, thinner is better. Nowadays, the materials have flexibility and more insulating factors for extreme temperatures and wind driven rain. This was a long, drawn-out process through the 90s that drove me crazy.
Some base coats were so gooey and sticky that it wasn't a pleasant time,lol, but after some more experimental work, the materials had reached their targeted performance.
Dryvit bases seem to be a #1 favorite for good control and strength.
Have a great day, fellow Plasterer.
Yes, we worked the Dry-Vit system for years and I have a job coming up where we’ll be going over 3 inches of styrofoam.

Hello Kirk, I’m getting Santa Barbara smooth coat done to my home this week. 2/07/22. It’s suppose to be 80 degrees all week. Is that too hot to try and do that type of finish? Is there disadvantages?
Hi anywhere from 60 to 85 in considered perfect weather if one knows what they are doing.💃
Good day Kirk, I’ve been following for some time now and enjoying putting all this into practice.
All understood regarding the cracking. QUESTION! Whilst the 3 finishes (light, heavy and rubber float) are breathable. I imagine painting it or bridging/flooding it after curing will seal it?
I’m about to undertake this on my place in the UK where the conditions are generally wet .
Howdy Stephen, absolutely, hairline cracks can indeed be flooded with quality paints, such as Sherman Williams and other similar high-end paints.

Hello 👋 I've started to do a stucco on a facial on a house which is 30' × 24" so it's my first time doing a stucco overhead. When mixing up a premix stucco does it have to be mixed thick or a little softer 😷👍
it best to mix it rich, more stucco then sand as that makes it stick better for defying gravity plus sets faster.
Hey i Renderd a small wall But because of wet weather i had to go back THE week after to finish to top off THE wall nog THE probleem is i have a differente in hight

Hey Kirk, Great Video as always!
Question: When you do a Santa Barbara Smooth Mission Finish (SBSMF), which 2 coat system do you do? Does SBSMF go on top of the steel trowel finish?
Thanks!
Dan Park Evening Dan, below are 2 videos which should answer this question, the top one should be the one you're looking for,
th-cam.com/video/Z2VPugiy-wM/w-d-xo.html Apply Santa Barbara plaster finish in ten minuts
th-cam.com/video/DiL91N4HrVg/w-d-xo.html Santa Barbara Smooth Mission stucco
But just in case, both (Finished) coats are steel trowel on, the two coat base coat will crack like an egg if you steel trowel the brown coat as this brown coat won't be able to breath, thus lots of hairline cracking in a few months to a year.Hard rubber float the brown coat, (this is the second coat prior to the first which is called a scratch coat) (To simplify the scratch coat and brown coat are called a basecoat at least here in the U.S.)( or you can say the first coat and the second coat are called a basecoat, same thing)Now hydrate properly with the proper cure time at least 3 weeks this (baseCoat), now my friend you are ready to steel trowel your Finish coats on.
Make sense? It's quite complicated at first so if it does not, remember, old Kirk can't understand electricity either but know that by flipping a switch a light will come on.
Best wishes,
kirk giordano plastering
Kirk & Jason Giordanos DIY plastering and stucco tips Thanks Kirk! So just so I'm understanding it, the Brown coat should be a Hard Rubber Float/Hydrate/Cure, then apply your 2 coat method of SBSMF. I hope I got that correct. Happy Fathers Day to you! Keep up the great work!
Hi Dan, you got it, if not still sure watch the ten minute video I sent you.

Hi Kirk,
You mention painting at the end of this video. I had been considering painting the stucco on my house, but through research I read that you shouldn't paint stucco since it's a water-permeable system. Painting, I'm told, can actually damage the underlying water barrier and then the stucco in the long run. So is it possible to paint, and if so, what kind of pain can one use on stucco?
Thank you for all your videos, such great information and such a pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. You make it look so easy, but I know first-hand it isn't!
Marc
Howdy Marc, there is a big controversy over to paint or not to paint, if you have a three coat plaster system with an integrated maintenance free color finish that last hundreds of years don't paint.
if you have what 98 percent of the world's population has which is painted stucco, paint.

Thanks for the great tutorial. What happens if when the stucco gets painted before being allowed to fully cure (as you cautioned)?
Hi Ralph, not much really, except I'd suggest at least two weeks, However, we did a Jamba juice building, I told the contractor to wait a month before painting, On our way the next day to another job I noticed he painted it the next day. I asked why, He yelled at me, I have no time for waiting I have to open this shop. The paint can blister if the PH level is not cured enough.🍾

Good evening David Dude, without seeing them It would be best to remove them to the scratch coat.
However, you can clean them then apply a bonding agent over them so that the new stucco will adhere permanently.

i just watched a video 5 mins ago and he was old and then this pops up on my feed lol crazy
The computers are in cahoots with one another, I was born old. 😉
Excellent video, and I am installing new windows in my house. The house is built 1965 and it has a float finish. It is hard to tell whether it was color coat, or two coat with a green float. It looks really similar to the one at the bottom left of your board. I plan on painting the house when done, and was wondering if I did a two coat would the one at the left bottom be best suited for windows.
Howdy Tuckin, they are all suitable for paintings, you can find out if your home is color coated by wetting it, if it darkens like a brick does when wet, it's a color coat, if it does not darken when wet it's probably painted.
Cheers, live long and plaster

Jus a friendly tip for ones that don't know what a plastering slicker is
A slicker is a piece of aluminum that's about 4 feet long 5 inches wide and is tapered and flexable. Its used as a straight edge for leveling the wall, etc,but when its held almost flat while leveling its called slicking. It may not be level, but its smooth and tight. The slicker is a great tool but takes time to master.

Hi Peter, Id say thanks for the friendly tip, but I know what a slicker is.
Cheers, kirk giordano

Mr. Live long and plaster: how long must i wait until i paint over a thin stucco patch job i just did ??? and it was a Kirk Plastering video i learned from. and it ended up a Master piece... you would be so proud of me... Live long and plaster my friend....
Howdy John,
that depends if it's on a whole house, the average time to allow the base coat to cure is at least two weeks in the summer and about 3 in the winter.
Plus one must hydrate the basecoat several times while allowing the basecoat to cure.
Hydrating stucco means, using a water hose to saturate the stucco with water until the basecoat of stucco absorbs no more.
If it just a small patch your repairing, buy, "Rapid Set Stucco" or "Rapid set Patch" from Home Depot or Lowes as well and any small hardware stores, these tow cement plasters are incredibly user friendly and need only 1 to 2 hours to set or cure, before a finish coat or for painting.

I need help, I am going to start the process to add stucco to a cinder block mailbox I built thats 5ft tall and 2x2 feet wide. What mix do I use and how many coats and how thick. I want to use the wet sponge to bring out the aggregate. Im in 100° weather. What brand cement and sand do I use?
For such a small project, buy either Sakrete or Quikrete at Home Depot.
Love this guy ! Very knowledge on his field.
Thank you, brother.

well.... I am a little old lady/home owner, DIYer, I am going to stucco the walls in my shower. Never done this before. Here goes nothing.
SHOWERS
Howdy Sawyer, I hate to say this, but it is the truth.
Stay away from all types of plasters in a shower.
This includes all Structo-lite, and all the Veneer-based or lime-based pretty finished and deep rich pretty colored pure lime finished plasters.
Even if your shower has an advanced exhaust system, I don't recommend any plastering systems in the shower itself.
Although I don't anymore, you can apply lime-based plaster as even these lime plasters mold fast and must be sealed every 6 months; who has time for this nonsense?
Either tile or attach the plastic shower sheets.
Hell, even the caulking and grouts will mold in time, aging, don't apply any limes in a shower.
You can use lime or veneer-based plasters for all other areas but leave the shower alone or face mold in the future.🏝
You will, like me, still have to re-caulk every few years, but your walls won't mold within a few months like every plaster known to man will.👨🏻🔬
@@StuccoPlastering and why? if you said it in all that, it went over my head, sorry
In my reading, he said it will mold
@@AndrewCastellanoReal I did it, 6 months ago, It looks great and hasn't mold
Hi Kirk, I really enjoy your videos. I am currently doing a stucco job and am suddenly wondering if I might have screwed up. I decided to go with a fiberglass enriched scratch and brown coat mix. I could only get 5/8' casing bead, so I did one coat at 5/8" and plan on doing a color coat over that. The area which I am doing is really cut up with windows and small margins ( as small as 6") between windows, corners, and soffits. Hardly any room to move! The laying on the heavy coat took some time, with my having to use a margin trowel for many of the areas...Anyway, I ended up finishing with a steel trowel finish. Thankfully I cured it well and there are really no hairlines to speak of. My question is, is it going to be hard to get the color coat to stick to the steel trowel finish since it seems very well sealed? and also, how heavy can the cement-based color coat be applied? Thanks in advance for your expert advice!
Jim Nichols
Jim Nichols HI Jim, great question, first of all since you steel trowelled the walls this act seals the stucco, no worries, however these wall take a bit longer to cure.
My advice is to soak the crap out of these wall, take as much time as needed until the water has penetrated to the lath, yes the full one inch thick.
These walls will hairline crack, they are supposed to.
Give as much cure time as you feel necessary, FYI, stucco can be applied 1/4 inch to 2 inches sometimes thicker, however rules are if you want to be consistent with window trim, drip screeds and such 3/4 of and inch for the basecoat.
The color coat is applied roughly 1/8 of an inch.
Lastly color will adhere to the base coat the best with the right amount of water applied to the basecoat first, no one should apply a color finish to a dry wall. Why? If you do this it will not adhere well because the wall will suck out the water in the finish coat, the wall has to be moist and waiting for the finish coat,
Dude, I wrote this I laughed as It occurred to me, like a relationship.
best wishes, my friend.

Okay this is great….but can I add glitter to this?
Good afternoon Laura Mitchell, that's an interesting question, possibly, if you know ow how, for example,
A pebble dash finish has abalone shells, colored glass and cool looking stones, and many other cool things; if you were to take all these pretty objects and mix in the stucco, they would be covered or mixed with stucco; which, when applied for won't show,
However, if one knew how to apply a moist long setting stucco; then throw these pretty seashells into the wet stucco, they would then show.
Glitter is really soft and lightweight, so if thrown onto stucco doubtful, the stucco would hold the glitter.🤷🏻♂️
I Will buy 5 pounds of glitter so that when I'm next applying stucco, I will try this on a piece of sheetrock as I'm curious too, now that you mention this usual idea.
Very creative indeed; so much, in fact, I will try it in a video. Thank you for the suggestion.😉

She's cute and funny LOL
@@rayskaggs7543 indeed she is.
So is the point here is that the hairline cracks are on the surface and do not pass through? Or because there is the first coat that will prevent the traveling of cracks? Thanks.
Hola, nither, it's a bit deeper than that thought, If you seal the stucco with steal troweling it can't breathe, but it's natural for it too. thus with time, the water expands the stucco and like the song by the old band Led Zeppelin sang. When the levee breaks., the stucco will have its way and hairline. It's just a matter of time.
th-cam.com/video/JM3fodiK9rY/w-d-xo.html/ 💃🏻
@@StuccoPlasteringit must be because there's less surface area on the "sealed" finish for the moisture to "breathe" through? Or is there something else going on?
@bonamivoluntaryist8145 It's extremely simple for us who have time in but complicated for those who don't work with stucco 24/7.
When you steal trowel stucco, you somewhat seal it. Like a dam, but the level is always ready to break, and when the ley breaks, unlike the song by Zeplain, walls crack. 👨🏫

What type of sand and how much do you use to mix one bag of Portland cement. What's the ratio?
Howdy juan alvarez, we usually mix with three times as much sand vs cement plaster, for the scratch coat, unless I am applying cement plaster to a ceilings, in which case I will use only twice as much sand I want it sticky so it does not fall out too much as we're applying overhead.
For the brown coat I usually mix between 3 to 4 amount of sand to the cement plaster.
A bit more or less is not such a big deal.
I was at work yesterday and wondering just this...and here it is in my recommendations 😁👍 really enjoy watching your videos, a master at your craft.

What stucco ready mix can I use for heavy float finish? thanks great info!!
I’d recommend, Rapid Set Stucco, sold at almost all hardware stores, it has 16/20 sand which is course sand.
Thank you some much... for taking the time to respond, I'll go to get it asap. 🙏🏽 👍🏽
this man is the king of stucco
Howdy Wolfe, I sure like your style, thank you.🍾
White float finishes are better looking as opposed to using only green the green is hideous and the houses look messy.
Good Morning David dude, I agree, but we are hired to apply whatever the home owner wants.

I'm a DIYer homeowner and didn't know about the steel trowel finish resulting in hairline cracks. (or being more precise, didn't know the OTHER finishes DO NOT crack (!) ) I was putting 1 coat of bagged mortar mix on terra cotta block on my foundation and got those hairline cracks. I then thought I'd put some long fibers in the mortar and while yes, I got fuzz, NO cracks. In fact, with the fibers, I could feel the mud setting up faster. After that lesson, I don't think I'd ever do anything without fibers.
RE: Horse hair: This is in my interior lath and plaster. It is amazing how few fibers are used (same with the modern fibers, basically a pinch for a bag.) And then I wonder how or where horse hair was purchased.
Good evening Nofer, it's a well know fact that animal hair and even human hair was used in lime plastering for centuries in the UK.
