I built my home in Mexico 35 years ago and after wetting my cement blocks I used the same air gun that used to spray a textured ceiling to spray stucco directly on the block . It’s been this long and my outside walls here in this area of Baja California Mexico is still in great condition.😊
These guys are good, I’ve been doing stucco since 1992 and now days no one wets the block first with is “very important” and yes it’s ok to use a go devil on block but not lath, and that’s exactly right, it’s all about moisture and layers not one shot, THE ROD is the only way to do smooth or float finishes and see how he finishes it side ways?! that is knowledge...Great job!!!
You said,"No Lath"..why do you say that? And when you say Lath, do you mean that metal mesh stuff that you attach to the wall and then stucco over? I want to someday build a house out of cement block then stucco/render over it. I thought that you use that mesh stuff so the stucco lasts longer?
@@PxssyGalore I'm not as experienced in stucco, but I do some and I'm a mason/bricklayer. You do not need galvanized mesh over concrete block. There's a natural, mechanical bond, a cementatious bond that occurs. Make sure the block is as clean and dust free as possible, and dampen it, but don't saturate it. Over wood? Yes, use a moisture barrier then attach the mesh and plaster coat it.
So Miguel wears a white shirt and after the job is done his shirt is still white... must be great to work with someone so competent. Good professional video too, thanks!
Oh plus all the names of the tools your using! Closeup of wall was excellent to see the consistency of the mix on the wall, what it should look like! 👍👍keep up the great work & videos! thank you
Great video! I have a couple of questions. 1. How did you nail the corner bead without blowing out the block? 2. I started to stucco a small courtyard cmu wall in my backyard. I put the whole 1/2” coat in one shot. A big chunk fell off the middle and I noticed a lot of sag on the bottom of the wall. Would you recommend two 1/4” passes to avoid this problem? Thanks for the great videos and your advice! 👍🏼
I've seen companies do a terrible job with the grout on a cinder block wall that will be covered by stucco. There are actual places where there was nothing between the cinder blocks in some areas. The stucco is just a covering, not structural support. The cinder block was about 3-4 cinder blocks high, but terrible work. But, stucco is a cover up for crappy workmanship for some companies!!
Is that like 2 parts sand to 1 part concrete? I'm in the midwest we get 100F in summer and - 10F in winter. looking for a mix that will handle the extremes. Thanks for the help.
@@LF12468 all concrete crews are immigrants now. Americans are way too lazy for hard labor. Go to any job site or stuff like oil fields and everyone is talking Spanish, even the engineer. White boys rather sit at home doing drugs than work.
There's not too many Miguel's out there. I seen some bad jobs that make me sad for the home owner and mad as a contractor cause we get a bad reputation.
God, if you were only aware of how bad it is to breath in even the slightest particle of cement! It hardens in your lungs when it hits that moisture in your body
How do you do this on a 10ft tall wall that's 30ft long by yourself without it drying out or leaving a joint? Do the bottom all the way across first then jump up and do the top? Or jump up and down
I am did same like this plaster when I am doing I feeling so much enjoying,, I will tell you for drying issue use a brush and throw some water on face plaster before shaping... Also sometimes I want to do plaster some kind of mans after making hammering on his face,, I wanted learn how to do decors from concrete then painting I like to amazing architect design,, I love this construction job,,
I been a stucco mason on the east coast for over 20 years. California seems to be behind the curve just a tad. We use vinyl beads and Jmolds etc. Glad to see you guys using rods too. Atleast you guys arent hacking it up like that Kirk Giordano guy, that guy is the worst I've seen.
Wrong brother we use metal trim because we don't have humidity like you we use stainless steel next to the ocean but everywhere else we use regular trims and we have the plastic trims to some city codes ask for plastic trims some don't
Thinking of doing this for wall in my backyard, but it’s painted. Can this be applied over a painted wall or would I need to get the paint off first? Thanks!
Looks pretty good but would it be possible to use something more fine grained like how spackle is for drywalls? I'm guessing it will be much easier to work with and much finer finish. just a matter of using very fine sand?
Nice job!! FYI - What you applied to the wall is 'cementitious coating'. The legal definition of 'stucco' is a 2-3 coat application measuring 5/8" MINIMUM!!! Just sayin'.
way too slow the work time can be done faster when he plasters over he fusses too long see West Germans Turks when they polish then you can learn a little
Stucco is not a verb, it's a name! And it's an italian word. It's a paste, composed of gypsum, lime or cement, and water! And if you use sand, definitely is not stucco. You cement plastering a wall, that's it!
You've got to get that boy a mask man! Thats stuff is terrible and he's lobbing it down wind lol - I got fired from a mud jacking gig once because I asked the guy for a mask, technically that was the hardest job Ive ever done, so it wasnt terrible to get fired, but still, that concrete dust is terrible for your lungs!
Wow. Masons in Honduras “splash” the mud one scoop at a time. After watching this it just feels infuriating. It is almost like a roofer using a hand saw to cut plywood; or hand-nailing every shingle.
So the brown coat is just the 1 st layer of stucco? And you should do 2 coats? I just had a wall built. Did my taxes and owe$6000z. I think this is something I can do to save money.
How different yous do it compared to us in Ireland... we do a scud coat first at 2to 1 which is like a splashed on coat.. then scratch coat at 4 or 5 to 1.. then a finish coat at 4 or 5 to1... one coat you usually see every block through it
I’m in Austin Texas and had someone do our foundation facing! Wish I had seen this video before we had someone work on it😫! We didn’t know any better so the people that worked on it made a disastrous job of it! They used different types of cement, so our facing has different shades of grey on it!
He did good but the wall is not even he Who knows how to stucco can tell when you scrap the wall with the 5 ft metal it's got to scrap even and did not
Plastic cement is specifically formulated for use in most types of plaster and stucco applications using plasticizers for workability and moisture retention
Every time I make a batch in the mixer ,I always put five gallons of water and five shovels of sand and let it run for a little bit before I turn it off, just to keep it clean.
Please protect your lungs from cement and silica dust when mixing your mortar.
I’m not a contractor or doctor, but was thinking the same thing.

Lots of good info there.

Yeah... Imma jus call Miguel cause he look like he know EXACTLY what he's doing.. LOL
Call me ...the first coat should of been scratched
You need to have your guy take care of his lungs mandatory even if he doesn’t like it
75 Stucco finishers who did not like this video for letting us know how to do it ourselves!
This is one of the best videos on how to do something because there’s more working instead of talking
Oh plus all the names of the tools your using! Closeup of wall was excellent to see the consistency of the mix on the wall, what it should look like! 👍👍keep up the great work & videos! thank you
Great job! I've been doing this kind of work for many many years.
Just goes to show you , that there are people with some great talent A
I liked that applying material technique I wonder if I could use that technique in cement rendering here in Australia as well
slowest shit I've ever seen in Australia we would have pushed that whole wall on by now. how do you guys make money?
You guys do quality work. I’ve learned a few tips from you that I’m going to tweak on my own projects
U dindt need to add weldcrete?
Nice job should of left stupid music off
Very impressive. Definitely a professional. Great job.👍

Make sure the block is filled and angle your gun inward. Don’t mix too wet. And apply in multiple layers
@@pandaplastering2466 Thank you for the reply! Are you using a ramset or other tool to set the nails?
I just set my corner beads with mud right after I mix. No chance of blowing a block out doing that.
@pandaplastering2466 please reply can you stick foam block on this and gow
How come you didn't put on wellcrete? Is going to fall off
Love how you explain everything & why you do all the extra steps. Excellent youtube video!

Agree sometime people want to cover their mistakes
What form of magic do you use to get it to ignore gravity. I tried it a few times. I put it on the wall it falls off. Works great on the ground.
Looking forward to part two. Nice!
A lefty
Yea right? I have never seen a pro plasterer be left handed.. it was weird seeing someone do that wall from right to left lol
Love your work , we are watching from the UK cheers from building with Budd 👍

Is like tape and float with cement.. respect ✊
Miguel has a tool belt on for hours and never uses any tools on there. Is it like a comfort blanket?

What would be the average cost for this project? I would like to do this on my home.
Around where I am from 3.50 a sqf
If you want a hack job done by illegals $3.50 a foot

Hi panda, try using masonry sand instead of plaster sand over masonry walls. You wont regret it. Ken from nor cal

You are killing it boss.
? Is the second coat necessary?
? Will second coat help hide block lines after its dry?
Thank you Pandas 🐼
Yes and yes, if you do thin coat you will see block lines under stucco when wall gets wet
Thank you 👦 guys I appreciate all off you 🙏
You need a minimum 1/2 thickness over block to hide block lines. I do 5/8ths just to be sure
Can someone explain why a plastic float was used?
For the most part synthetic stucco
Looks pretty good but would it be possible to use something more fine grained like how spackle is for drywalls? I'm guessing it will be much easier to work with and much finer finish. just a matter of using very fine sand?

Talk about privacy, that is high and looks 👍👍💪, CHINGON!
Cement Should be applied with mash net ,that quality will last ,otherwise wall will Crack in near future, ,
Don't do this.
Stucco and mortar are different mixtures.
Blocks can withstand small cracks...Stucco fails with every crack.
Nice work ! Hope you make a million bucks but no I'll leave mine to the professionals !!
way too slow
the work time can be done faster
when he plasters over
he fusses too long
see West Germans Turks
when they polish
then you can learn a little

I was thinking of doing it myself but it's too much work lol I'll hire someone
What's the ratio of cement and sand by shovel.
Is it necessary to add a concrete adhesion before applying a scratch coat?
I am wondering the same thing.
If you have bare block just spray the wall with water and keep it wet
How does a tool get the name go devil? Is there another tool called it don’t go devil?
Or is everything just to go devil if it doesn’t have a name?
