I was given a big trowel like yours amor two years ago and used it on a job and fell l in love with it, i use it all the time now when i do a patch job , they cover a lot of ground and spread evenly.
I fill my joints with sikaflex the same way you do Kirk. Sometimes the 1A and other times 15LM for more expansions. Also, I use primer 429/202 if I fill a crack in the foundation. What I do a little bit differently on the joint to make the overcoat stick, I throw sand caliber 24 when the joint is fresh, so it sticks in the sikaflex and makes a grip. Always nice to watch you work!

Like your videos Kirk and appreciate all the knowledge that you're sharing. Helped me to do a couple stucco jobs as I had never done stucco before. One was a 10x10 patch on a wall and the other was 3x3. The bigger one turned out to be a perfect match to the existing stucco which was great as it was a business. The other I couldn't match as I believe it was sprayed on. Many thanks to you and really appreciate your videos

Hey Kirk u need a magin trowel to get in the corner because u can't get into corner with a swimming pool trowel. I make sure all my tradesmen have one.
Kirk Love your videos ... I'm redoing the outside of my concrete stairs ... They were unfortunately painted all over in latex paint by the previous owner, some of the paint is holding moisture & peeling. My question is do I need to remove all the latex paint before applying the bonding agent so I can apply a thin cement coat ..... Wish they would have just left it without paint. 😡😠 Thank you.
Howdy both of you guys, when cement decks, stairs, bricks, cinder blocks have been painted. You first pressure wash with at least 3500 PSI to remove all the dust dirt and grime. Then you allow to dry, the next day, some paint may still lift or peal, no worries, remove any of this with a putty knife, Now, it's time for the bonding agent if stucco is to be applied, If the paint is to be applied the best quality primer money can buy. An important tip, if not properly cleaned or prepared, your next coat of stucco/paint won't adhere forever, as it is only as good as what it's attached to.

Hey Kirk...can you do another video where you repair/resurface concrete landings? Kinda like the porch landing just above the repair you did here in this video...secondly, I have a similar issue with a raised concrete porch on my home here in Baltimore. The original construction was made with some sort of large concrete blocks and now all the seams between the blocks have deteriorated and the old stucco material is flaking out and falling apart, likely from freeze/thaw over the years. Is it best to attach and secure wire mesh over the old and apply another coat of stucco?
Howdy bee friendly Dude, excellet question, ask and ye shall receive, below is a video thatsuggest what I would do to your landing if it were my house, th-cam.com/video/EVxpZeuXXwE/w-d-xo.html there are other ways of repair, but from my experience no premade mud in a bucket is half as strong or effective without the longevity added.

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a DIY er in Florida and am trying to stucco to stucco over backboard that replaced a thin piece of tin under my windows of my enclosed sunroom. I have the cement board up. Concerned over how to waterproof it and prep to stucco. It's only 15inches by 67 inches on each side. I've seen you work over concrete wall where you advised NO wire mesh. Thinking of using fiberglass mesh on the backboard. Is the prep for stuccoing same or different?

Evening Calvin, somewhat, I have applied American clay, Tadelakt and Eco Stucco more than a few times which all fall in line with your question. They are all pretty, unusual and cheerful in every room except in a shower, in a shower the beauty will be less attractive when a person realizes they need maintenance or they will mold big time.

In my opinion from a guy who does foundations think it's an area of fail because of the oil on the concrete from the forums when they poured the wall. On the short walls the forums we use are usually on their last leg and the wax backing and extra cool stays on the wall. The original guys should of probably used a hot water soapy pressure wash

I installed new windows and door and removed windows as well. The wall needs to be repaired/stuccoed. The plaster guy said the wall is chalky and needs to be ground down by using a hand grinder. Otherwise it will crack later down the road. Is he right? The house is built in the 1950’s. Thanks!
Good evening Rowena; if it's chalky or did he mean soft? If it's either, I would suggest pressure washing. As grinding stucco releases silica into the air, where it will then settle, then when disturbed by walking by it will become airborne. Your kids' animals will then inhale it; it's toxic. Go's into the lungs but does not come out. Not good. His suggestion makes little sense to me; perhaps he knows something I don't, or is a fool? 🤔
apparently there is a product which will recondition old mortar like your description. I believe it is a silpro product. I heard of it used for mortar between bricks.
Great video, once again. Quick question, if the service life of SikaHyflex is 10-20 years, and the service the life of stucco color coat is 60+ years, wouldn't something like a slip joint perform better long-term at the porch/house joint?
Good evening Oak Ridge, possibly, however, I was asked to blend the new to the existing, not to perform cutting and installations of slip or expansion joint. This cementitious color coat lasts forever. They lighten with age, but if applied correctly, adhere forever. I was working on a house next door when the fella approached me to fix, he said he had the material, I charged him 200 dollars for this fix, so cutting and installing metals were out of the question. I did this at a low cost to show folks what can be done with a bit of knowledge.

@@RioFoundation Of course it is. But a good paint job last 7 to 10 years. Cementitious color finishes can last over a hundred years and provides extra insulation as it is 50 to 70 times as thick as painting. Plus stucco covers imperfections while painting enhances imperfections. These facts are just the tip of the iceberg.
@@StuccoPlastering great to know, I wasn’t aware of stucco being colored as the last step. Most work I do in florida is painted stucco and a lot of them are chalky so we seal and paint. What are some signs of stucco being colored vs painted other than it being a flat sheen?
@@RioFoundation Easy, wet the walls with the garden hose if it darkens like a brick or concrete it’s cementitious, if the color does not change it’s painted. 🕵🏼♀️
Howdy John, I did this repair for free, as I was working on a big wall next door at their other home, fact was, my guys had to set scaffold and while they were doing this Jason and I snuck over to this small wall and did this video. I did it as I knew what caused the failure and felt other folks might like to know the reasoning this kind of stuff happens. Cheers, kirk giordano Plastering
I think the problem is down to water egress through the wall under the steps, which has pushed the stucco off the surface. Cannot believe that original contractor didn't clean under the steps before applying the stucco.

I already think I know the answer to my own question (experience) but will ask it any way since it seems to be a problem still for me. How do you keep from flat out making a mess. Either when mixing, or applying it just makes a mess. I occasionally repair chimneys I find it difficult to keep the shingles clean. I use tarps, roof paper, plastic tarps are too slippery, my mud tends to dry too quickly so now I’m misting what I’ve just completed, which soaks the tarps bleeds thru now I’m hosing down the roof for an hour. Any tips with just keeping the area clean and organized. Especially on a pitched shingled roof

Good evening Drops Dude, you can apply the weld crete bonding agent as soon as the wall is dry, if you apply it while the wall is wet you will dilute the binding strength. Live long and plaster teaching plastering video’s
What do you do with water stains over a few years on the "maintenance free" finish? See a number of lower sections discolor from water and such. I am considering this, yet I also dont want all that staining look...I have heard and seen of a "Fog finish" over it, but that I am not sure if it is something I want to do every 5 years.
Good morning Phil dude, excellent question.🤔 I'd suggest you wait until it rains for a day or longer, then when still raining, use your water hose with a spray nozzle. Most will come right off, sort of like taking a pan of burnt spaghetti and trying to clean it right away. Bad idea, fill it with water first, let it sit overnight, and most will just come off with water. Let them both soak. Sound weird, it's not as it works.

Morning Andrew, my thought was they pressure washed the entire home but failed to hit this area, or perhaps they did hit this area, it may have rained along the way before the completion of the home, thus causing the excess dirt from simply mowing the lawn which blows into the air and settled on the porch, hence, the rain allowed this dust dirt moss to drip down that wall which comprimised the clean finish, and without realizing that wall may have been compromised, color coated right over it, nothing adheres to dust. If it were the way you suggested the wall would be filthy, but filth such as even diesel fumes, dirt and such does not loosen a color coat, Cheers my engineering pal, kirk giordano Plastering
By looking at the mildew on the wall the rain is running off the porch steps and sitting in the skip coat and after 20 years of rain its failed. I think your thinking into it to much. Cheers my best youtuber plasterer Andrew Pedley Plastering :)
Howdy Andrew Dude, no doubt, fellas like me who are foolish perfectionist find themselves wondering and worrying about some silly little things that don't add up to nothing also have the tendency to overthink, still,properly applied stucco does not fail with hundreds of years of dirt, rain and 100 degree intense heat instead the colors fade.

Awesome video Kirk as ever. I have been selling paint in the UK for 30 years and a lot of the things you say about shades being diffrent apply in paints also.
keep up the great vids.

Howdy Brian my UK friend in the trade, exzackary,
when folks ask if I can match an integrated color porous finish I say doubtful, but I or anyone else can come close, If painting is tough colored stucco is impossible, I often tell folks you want paint or color finishes to blend in perfectly go from corner to corner.

Like your videos Kirk and appreciate all the knowledge that you're sharing.
Helped me to do a couple stucco jobs as I had never done stucco before. One was a 10x10 patch on a wall and the other was 3x3. The bigger one turned out to be a perfect match to the existing stucco which was great as it was a business.
The other I couldn't match as I believe it was sprayed on.
Many thanks to you and really appreciate your videos
Good Evening Greg dude, the second job could have been matched no matter if it were a light dash or heavy dash with a dash brush.
I have even used a small handheld whisk broom to throw on light dashers.

Great coaching style. Very good details. Thanks. Trying to stucco ICF foam later today. With steel lathe it is going to be a lot of overhead. Heavy too. How to handle mortar on a ladder single-handed... I guess your 5 gallon pail is probably the way to go. Just even seeing your little scoop and your trowel advice is very helpful. I think you are ready for the surfboard trowel.

Kirk Love your videos ... I'm redoing the outside of my concrete stairs ... They were unfortunately painted all over in latex paint by the previous owner, some of the paint is holding moisture & peeling.
My question is do I need to remove all the latex paint before applying the bonding agent so I can apply a thin cement coat .....
Wish they would have just left it without paint. 😡😠
Thank you.
Kirk I have the same situation here as Angieb52. Can you apply cement over a bonding agent that hes been applied to a latex painted wall???
Howdy both of you guys, when cement decks, stairs, bricks, cinder blocks have been painted.
You first pressure wash with at least 3500 PSI to remove all the dust dirt and grime. Then you allow to dry, the next day, some paint may still lift or peal, no worries, remove any of this with a putty knife,
Now, it's time for the bonding agent if stucco is to be applied, If the paint is to be applied the best quality primer money can buy.
An important tip, if not properly cleaned or prepared, your next coat of stucco/paint won't adhere forever, as it is only as good as what it's attached to.

Can you explain how you are skip troweling? How does it make that skip finish, it looks like you are putting it on the same way as the first coat, are you applying less pressure on the trowel to get that finish on the second coat?

Hey Kirk...can you do another video where you repair/resurface concrete landings? Kinda like the porch landing just above the repair you did here in this video...secondly, I have a similar issue with a raised concrete porch on my home here in Baltimore. The original construction was made with some sort of large concrete blocks and now all the seams between the blocks have deteriorated and the old stucco material is flaking out and falling apart, likely from freeze/thaw over the years. Is it best to attach and secure wire mesh over the old and apply another coat of stucco?
Howdy bee friendly Dude, excellet question, ask and ye shall receive, below is a video thatsuggest what I would do to your landing if it were my house,
th-cam.com/video/EVxpZeuXXwE/w-d-xo.html
there are other ways of repair, but from my experience no premade mud in a bucket is half as strong or effective without the longevity added.

Hi, I really enjoy your videos. I'm a DIY er in Florida and am trying to stucco to stucco over backboard that replaced a thin piece of tin under my windows of my enclosed sunroom. I have the cement board up. Concerned over how to waterproof it and prep to stucco. It's only 15inches by 67 inches on each side. I've seen you work over concrete wall where you advised NO wire mesh. Thinking of using fiberglass mesh on the backboard. Is the prep for stuccoing same or different?
One can plaster over cement board.
I do love your videos can you do a video on plastering a concrete pool. Much appreciated

I have a question, have you ever done a clay lime fine sand mix on interior walls.
Evening Calvin, somewhat, I have applied American clay, Tadelakt and Eco Stucco more than a few times which all fall in line with your question.
They are all pretty, unusual and cheerful in every room except in a shower, in a shower the beauty will be less attractive when a person realizes they need maintenance or they will mold big time.
What happens when mold drys and you walk by it?
Great question glad you asked,m it becomes airborne thus you inhale this toxin and become ill or run down.

In my opinion from a guy who does foundations think it's an area of fail because of the oil on the concrete from the forums when they poured the wall. On the short walls the forums we use are usually on their last leg and the wax backing and extra cool stays on the wall. The original guys should of probably used a hot water soapy pressure wash
Good Evening Daniel, dude, this also may be true.

I installed new windows and door and removed windows as well. The wall needs to be repaired/stuccoed. The plaster guy said the wall is chalky and needs to be ground down by using a hand grinder. Otherwise it will crack later down the road. Is he right? The house is built in the 1950’s. Thanks!
Good evening Rowena; if it's chalky or did he mean soft?
If it's either, I would suggest pressure washing.
As grinding stucco releases silica into the air, where it will then settle, then when disturbed by walking by it will become airborne. Your kids' animals will then inhale it; it's toxic. Go's into the lungs but does not come out. Not good. His suggestion makes little sense to me; perhaps he knows something I don't, or is a fool? 🤔
Thank for replying Kirk. I think he is trying to fool me 😒 I love your watching videos. Keep it up!
apparently there is a product which will recondition old mortar like your description. I believe it is a silpro product. I heard of it used for mortar between bricks.
Great video, once again. Quick question, if the service life of SikaHyflex is 10-20 years, and the service the life of stucco color coat is 60+ years, wouldn't something like a slip joint perform better long-term at the porch/house joint?
Good evening Oak Ridge, possibly, however, I was asked to blend the new to the existing, not to perform cutting and installations of slip or expansion joint. This cementitious color coat lasts forever. They lighten with age, but if applied correctly, adhere forever.
I was working on a house next door when the fella approached me to fix, he said he had the material, I charged him 200 dollars for this fix, so cutting and installing metals were out of the question.
I did this at a low cost to show folks what can be done with a bit of knowledge.

Is 1700 psi enough to clean? Before bonding and stuccoing? I'm guess I need a stronger pressure washer

Hey kirk! Im a painter and im curious as to why you guys do a color coat? Isnt it easier to just have the whole wall primed and painted?
@@RioFoundation Of course it is. But a good paint job last 7 to 10 years. Cementitious color finishes can last over a hundred years and provides extra insulation as it is 50 to 70 times as thick as painting. Plus stucco covers imperfections while painting enhances imperfections. These facts are just the tip of the iceberg.
@@StuccoPlastering great to know, I wasn’t aware of stucco being colored as the last step. Most work I do in florida is painted stucco and a lot of them are chalky so we seal and paint. What are some signs of stucco being colored vs painted other than it being a flat sheen?
@@RioFoundation Easy, wet the walls with the garden hose if it darkens like a brick or concrete it’s cementitious, if the color does not change it’s painted. 🕵🏼♀️
Hi guys to make Living Kirk would you need to several of these small jods in a day.Cheers John
Howdy John, I did this repair for free, as I was working on a big wall next door at their other home, fact was, my guys had to set scaffold and while they were doing this Jason and I snuck over to this small wall and did this video.
I did it as I knew what caused the failure and felt other folks might like to know the reasoning this kind of stuff happens.
Cheers,
kirk giordano Plastering
I think the problem is down to water egress through the wall under the steps, which has pushed the stucco off the surface. Cannot believe that original contractor didn't clean under the steps before applying the stucco.
I've seen a lot and can indeed believe some things are missed by contractors, I am included.🕵🏼

Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. your the man Jason. Keep pushin’
I already think I know the answer to my own question (experience) but will ask it any way since it seems to be a problem still for me. How do you keep from flat out making a mess. Either when mixing, or applying it just makes a mess. I occasionally repair chimneys I find it difficult to keep the shingles clean. I use tarps, roof paper, plastic tarps are too slippery, my mud tends to dry too quickly so now I’m misting what I’ve just completed, which soaks the tarps bleeds thru now I’m hosing down the roof for an hour. Any tips with just keeping the area clean and organized. Especially on a pitched shingled roof
Evening Smash Dude, I hope this doesn't sound condescending, practice and knowing any mess's made will add for the cleanup time.

Hello sir Kirk .my question is after I pressure wash my painted stucco walls,when Do I need to put my weld Crete bonding agent?thx
Good evening Drops Dude, you can apply the weld crete bonding agent as soon as the wall is dry,
if you apply it while the wall is wet you will dilute the binding strength.

What do you do with water stains over a few years on the "maintenance free" finish? See a number of lower sections discolor from water and such. I am considering this, yet I also dont want all that staining look...I have heard and seen of a "Fog finish" over it, but that I am not sure if it is something I want to do every 5 years.
Good morning Phil dude, excellent question.🤔
I'd suggest you wait until it rains for a day or longer, then when still raining, use your water hose with a spray nozzle. Most will come right off, sort of like taking a pan of burnt spaghetti and trying to clean it right away. Bad idea, fill it with water first, let it sit overnight, and most will just come off with water.
Let them both soak. Sound weird, it's not as it works.

Looks to me the the rain is falling of the steps and sitting on the top coat and after 20 years that top coat has failed.
Morning Andrew, my thought was they pressure washed the entire home but failed to hit this area, or perhaps they did hit this area, it may have rained along the way before the completion of the home, thus causing the excess dirt from simply mowing the lawn which blows into the air and settled on the porch, hence, the rain allowed this dust dirt moss to drip down that wall which comprimised the clean finish, and without realizing that wall may have been compromised, color coated right over it, nothing adheres to dust.
If it were the way you suggested the wall would be filthy, but filth such as even diesel fumes, dirt and such does not loosen a color coat,
Cheers my engineering pal,

By looking at the mildew on the wall the rain is running off the porch steps and sitting in the skip coat and after 20 years of rain its failed. I think your thinking into it to much.

I know I'm in England and we have different methods and I know your matching the rest of the house. But, if I did a skip trowel finish here I don't think I would ever work again 😕. That being said I love your videos(you only stop learning when your dead). Do you use much monocouche renders in your neck of the woods? Webber or K-Rend scratch off renders for example.
Good afternoon Rye from England, we just match what ever finish is on a home, as far as some of the renders sold there in the UK, I have not seen many of them here as it coats a lot to ship and your lime is more readably available thus cheaper here they use more additive to save on lime material cost.
