Stucco and paint the same day, Rapid Set Stucco patch.

As a rule, folks, stucco takes on average 28 days to cure before painting, this video explains how to apply a new stucco, then turn around and paint it as soon as possible.
FYI, You should always prime your bare stucco before applying a finished coat of paint.
What happens if you paint new stucco too soon? The new paint can blister or not adhere very well.
The pH level has to drop from 14-pH to under 9-pH. Technical boring stuff but good info.
If stucco is to be painted, the stucco must be allowed to reach a pH of 9.5 or less, the primer or paint must be alkali-resistant, and painting is delayed until the stucco is fully cured; this normally occurs 28 days after application.
I read the above sentence online; LOL, it’s not that critical, guys, I have done stucco jobs where the owners painted the next day, and nothing happened, but as a licensed person, it’s my job to inform accurately. Cheers.
As the title suggests, you can apply the “Rapid Set Stucco patch” and paint within two hours. This is a huge advantage to some folks.
In this video, as the property manager wanted to rent the place out the next day, he wanted the walls to look good. No one wants an eyesore for new tenants to see construction progress, so I recommended the “Rapid set Stucco.” which we use in this video.
The bags say you can paint in a couple hours after application.
Rapid set stucco, Is sold at HD and Lowe's, plus many other hardware stores; it’s sold in 10 or 25-pound boxes for homeowners. Or for larger amounts in 50 to 94-pound bags.
This is a user-friendly product.
What does that mean? Since the sand and the accelerator are already in the bags, add water, mix, and apply. How easy is that?
Thanks for watching.

Howdy Mercado, FYI, When anyone starts to apply cement plaster at first, there are muscles in your forearm, wrist and deltoid and shoulders that you more than likely didn’t know existed. These muscles are rarely used in everyday living. Thus they will feel like they are on fire or swell up when you start to apply plaster, no worries, this is an excellent sign of unused and still weak muscles, not hurt muscles. then when that beautiful pain is gone, begin again. Your wrist, forearms or shoulders will burn, but that's o.k. For the average person, it takes a week or two to get those unused muscles strong enough to move mud where you want it. FYI, if you fall off a bike and hurt your leg, that's a bad pain or soreness, to strengthen muscles you didn’t know you had, creates a beautiful soreness.

After watching a ton of your videos, I got courage - this weekend I did a window this size and same size hole to patch. Being a noob, I applied two layers of rapid set, working around the window, until the new work matched the same plane as the existing, which allowed me to compensate for my lack of skill. Then I did the finish color coat yesterday. Basically what you did in 15 minutes took me two days. So yeah, I'm a little awesome (as long as I don't get any cracks). Especially since I know what the sponge float is for, thank you sir. Though my eyes were irritated from I think the rapid set. Does it cause eyes to burn? Maybe it's just me. Oh, my main point was: amazing color match job! Really remarkable, the color is right on the money.

@StuccoPlastering Жыл бұрын

You can add a lot of colors, but no doubt won't get the desired color as Rapid Set is tan. You can purchase Lehighs white cement or any other brand of white cement, but if the sand is added, it becomes tan, as the sand is usually brown, thus when mixed with any color you choose. this must be considered. I bought white cement and white sand, then added color for the basecoat which was never to be painted a few years back in the town of Sonora on two homes. This takes practice and material knowledge. But sure it can be done. My son Jason did this in a short video two weeks ago to get a blueish basecoat, then did a light blue finish on the same day. 👨‍🏫 He, too, is an SME subject matter expert. Cheers. 👨🏻‍🔬

Hey Kirk I have an old block house and I wanna stucco it myself should I pursuer wash and then put on a bonding agent after? I was just wondering if I need to use the Bonding agent so it will stick the the old painted block or if I can just stucco it after I wash it please help thank you

@StuccoPlastering 5 жыл бұрын

Good evening Gareth dude, sorry for the late response but when these questions come in is out of my hands. After pressure washing when the blocks are dried is when you paint on the bonding agent. If your blocks walls were never painted no bonding agent would have been necessary as the stucco would adhere with what we call a natural mechanical bond. This happens when you hit the existing block walls with water then apply stucco, the two adhere by suction as they are both cementitious.

Will the color streak when using a wet float?

@StuccoPlastering 6 жыл бұрын

Howdy Chris Dude, excellent question, Depends. when applying all dark colors weather acrylic or cementitious, the darker the color the more varied color's will become visible. Why? Another excellent question, glad you asked. Say, for example, you pour Clorox on blue jeans it's a similar situation. If the colors start to cure or harden, water becomes necessary to bring out the sand, thus the variation of colors can happen, especially when doing patchwork, that means a color patch within a complete wall. This is more likely with crappy acrylics than others. It's best to keep your sponge float as dry as possible through the entire process, however, when re-coloring patches within a finished wall, it's a whole new ballgame. When the tie in perimeters become dry, a plasterer has no choice but to dip the sponge float into the water to bring it back to life to blend in, welcome to possible streaking.

Red tape is alot better for stucco....it doesn't tear and is more resilient Stucco scratches, tears and rips blue tape...as well as the trowel....plus adhesion is alot better In any trade you see what they use and know their is a reason for it and youll soon find out why Blue tape doesn't like water either

What are you talking about with pH levels of 15? pH levels max out at 14.

Howdy Old school dude, doing the same stuff we usually do. I'm the plasterer, not the video dude, my son Jason iis the video dude and plasterer, he possibly has more than 20 repair videos on his camera, he is the guy who has to pull the time from his social and working life to upload and often edit out my goofy sayings.

Kirk ARENT YOU SUPPOSE TO USE THE PLASTIC FLOAT FOR ACRYLIC

@StuccoPlastering 6 жыл бұрын

Howdy Jose, good question my brother, a plastic float can do two things, act like a hard rubber float and compress the base coat or provide a certain finish. A sponge float pulls the sand to the surface, this is what the first plastering company used, thus I have to match their finish.

Wait a minute you're going to cut off the video before you show it completely dry and blended in that's the most critical part darn it we know it's not flawless but we need to see you what a true professional can do

@StuccoPlastering 6 жыл бұрын

Howdy Noblsht, I agree, however, if it's dry, cool beans if it's not when we leave, bummer. Standing around watching paint dry for possible two more hours is not financially wise for me, so we usually show current results right before we depart. FYI, This color matching did come out much better than I thought it would. Live long and plaster, Sharing stucco secrets and or common sense tips

Howdy Proof Dude, man I don't get into politics or religion as it's always a no-win decision, half either agree or disagree. The fight ain't worth the battle as my thoughts are just words in the wind. I will say this, I as in this repair I will be judged, not by this video presence but by my actual "repair." The man has a ways to go, so the juries still out. I will also say this, he's one dude I wouldn't want to piss off. Live long and plaster Jason and I will teach you, “how to render a wall.”
