Hello, my friends; I’m applying multiple coats of really thick stucco in this stucco video.
how to install a lot of stucco, stucco installations by professional plasterers
I showed how to install a lot of stuccoes as the wall was not appropriately furred with the proper plywood; thus, instead of 7/8, I had to apply a lot more.
You will see stucco installations by professional plasterers. That would be yours truly.
We install multiple coats of stucco or cement plaster on the same day, with a total thickness of about one and a half inches.
The average stucco walls are seven eights thick.
However, sometimes they can be much thicker. What happens when this is necessary?
Nothing. We just added more cement.
Someone trained in stucco materials, such as myself, won’t notice this difference.
Eisenwall also manufactures a DIY or homeowner-friendly product called Rapid set stucco.
It’s sold at HD and Lowe's plus all other hardware stores, “Rapid set stucco” is sold in 10 or 25-pound boxes or larger amounts in 50 to 94-pound bags. This is a user-friendly product.
What that means is that the sand is already in the bags. You add water.
Like all the same-day cement plasters, don’t go over mix for three to 5 minutes.
What happens if you overmix? The cement plaster explodes while you are mixing!
Just kidding.
Overmixing compromises the strength of all the same-day cement stuccos.

Evening Drawing on everything dude,😉 Plastering is the main substrate in the whole world. It's far from dying. In fact, it's the opposite. It can never die as it's necessary, and the absolute longest exterior siding is known on the planet. No other exterior wall systems can even come close to its strength and fireproofing abilities. Stucco's longevity is also second to no other substrate.

noticed your slight bend in the sponge float to keep the corners from gouging the work. I just had a small porch patch with tile at the top of porch edge. I remembered the video you cleaned the stucco off the tile with a swipe of the sponge float. I used the same technique and had great results. thanks for video even if you don't mention every trick in a video, I can still pick up on subliminal keys. Much respect.

Hi Kirk, i have only recently become a real fan of your work an videos. I am currently doing a small landscaping job...rendering a masonry block wall 4 courses high. Previously i had only ever used acrylic texture coat...and to be honest, the stuff is a pain in the behind. I now use polymer modified cement renders and am loving it. Probably the one thing that i have picked up from your videos...dont stuff around trying to get a mirror finish when applying the render. Just slap the stuff on, give it a quick spread and move on. I then come back after and flatten/level sections up. I apply my renders a little differently in that i apply it with the hawk (probably wouldnt do this on a large area but it works great on small retaining wall low to the ground). I tend to screed off with a 600mm concrete float as i dont have that straight edge you use. Anyway, thanks for the videos...i have learned a lot from you. kind regards Adam Sydney Australia

@Conrad Austin I thought there was a little stretch or BS to Kirk's claim, but I searched for one or two topics and sure enough I found a video that covered it. After watching many of his videos, I was able to stucco a few small walls on my garage, including patching 1/2 of one wall and blending into the existing painted stucco and then doing color on the entire wall and his videos even covered how to repair horizontal cracks with drywall tape and cement patch. My scratch and brown were a little thick so I didn't keep a good wet edge as I worked down the wall (painting term as I was a pro painter for many years). After a month or so, to my surprise, the cracks have not reappeared. I have patched stucco with rapid set before but this was my first crack at scratch, brown, and doing a lace finish. I did a bunch of concrete work and finishing last year and a bit before that and I can tell you that concrete products are guaranteed to crack. Following the pro tips from Kirk, I like my odds of keeping future cracking to a minimum...........I did after all follow his directions to get my scratch and brown to crack before color. Long post, but as a pro in various trades and a person with a critical eye, I greatly appreciate all of the videos Kirk and family have made. It is full of great info with none of the BS of tv shows and many forums. Even if you don't do your own repair, you will have an idea if a pro you hire to do it actually knows their stuff.

Here's an idea: You might do a video or a series of videos about fixing other people's repairs. Things such as repairs that went bad because the people doing the repairs tried to patch a wall with materials that don't work well with plaster or repairs attempted without repairing the lath.If you want, you can come to my house and shoot the vids. I promise you'd find a complete sampling of every bad patching idea ever thought up.

Evening Ford Dude, either product will work. There are more than 10 materials sold at the big hardware stores such as Home Depot and or lowes that will all work. The plastering materials yards, such as Westside Building Materials, have many more same days or one coat cement plaster, also. I'd recommend, Rapid Set Stucco, buy what you need such as 10 or 25-pound boxes, or bigger bags such as 55 to 94-pound bags, this cement plaster, needs no added sand, you just add water. Like all same-day cement plasters or one coat plasters, don't overmix! Why? Excellent question, Glad you asked If mixed over 5 minutes or more, this can cause the cement plasters when set to be weak or comprised of strength. How many coats? Until the new stucco is flush with the existing stucco, your duplicating. FYI, QuikCreat is also excellent for patchwork. I have not used Dab, so I can't comment.

Good evening Will, in this video I had to bring the sand out to match the existing, thus a sponge float was needed.

Hi Kirk - do you do work in Sacramento, or do you have somebody you could recommend? I have a fairly small job I think - a stucco wall that is leaking above a window. I need to find somebody to tear the stucco out and find the leak, fix the leak, and then match the existing stucco texture. I tried DIY, and got more mud on the ground than would stick to the wall. And to add insult to injury - it still leaks. Time for a pro.

Evening Tim, the best advise is for you to try the BBB or any other referral service in your area, get three bids and follow your gut feelings when choosing any contractor as some are tired, and don’t have much time in but need cash to put food on the table, thus say things he or she dose not intend to back up. Try to find someone knowledgeable, ambitious and qualified, if you talk with a few you will be able to distinguish who's right for you, sometimes it can be a full time job often to find qualified tradesmen. best wishes, kirk giordano plastering

Howdy Breant, odd question, we don't use any metal wire over cinder blocks, bricks or concrete, at most we pressure wash dirt and grime off then apply a bonding agent and apply directly to these porous surfaces, the new stucco or render which adhere by suction. FYI, although we make applying Stucco or Plaster Render appear easy, it usually take about 10 to 15 years of hands on experience to understand how to apply Stucco/Plaster/Render properly. Type in stucco over cinder block to see how we do it here in the U.S. of course codes in different countries may contradict what i feel is adequate. Cheers, kirk giordano rendering

Those who commented "your mom is ignorant as she can't speak well" always brought a smile to my face as I would reply, how many languishes can you speak? the few I would say this too would think for a minute and understand she was far from ignorant. My wife parents line in England, Manchester in fact which we visit often as well. I use this trowel from the days long past 25 years or more when we plastered swimming pools, I find it an average size to see my really big rendering Trowel see the video below, it is 20 by 5 inches. keep in mind I have been plastering for well over 30 years and am a nunchucks expert which creates a bit of excess strength in the wrist and forearm, that I simply take for granted. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jsWDhdyFrryxkok.html Cheers and have a great Labor Day or do you celebrate with a day off work over there. If there's any holiday that makes sense to celebrate it's labor day as I have been doing labor since about 13, but most times I see it as paid exercising. Kirk giordano Rendering

Okay ?I’ve been wathing the video abouth te kind of trowels and I do understant now , that you work with a swimmingpooltrowel right!Thats why I never see them in our region . We don’t have a lot swimmingpools in our gardens .Usually the swimming pools are available in polyester or swimming pooltiles and they are not big(the pools) I am more of a hobbyist, and I have used 6000 pounds of clay/loam into our living room( the tickness is about an inch to an inch an a half) and my friends are amazed that I did all of that and they find it very nice to have something natural, I wanted something different than plaster, it seems healthier ??? and it regulates the humidity in the room. We have sometimes a humid climate in our region(like some regions in England UK). and the houses feel than a bit chilly. We wil see of it Works. , So your mother was French? Nice to know. I live on the frencheborder (northern France) .And I speak three languages. French, English and Flemish (it’s like Duths from the Nederlanths) In our little country we also speak German I can not speak verrywel the german language. Okay ! thanks to help me out. Have also a nice day (or night ???its now here 11 :00 Am in Europe ) Greetings from Belgium Alex

Im a stucco plaster in Florida. We use different wire lath then u used. I use a grinder and bevel the edges so I can run mesh tape over exceding stucco when I can't tie in old wire to new wire. Wondering if you'll have rapid set mortar there in California. Home depot sells it here. Great stuff. It will dry up in 5 minutes, but alot of times I'll just mix it with the stucco to help set it up faster when I have to build certain areas out. But I've been told the less stucco u put on a wall the better it is. What do u think about that? I've also worked with alot of different companies, and they always want different processes. When it comes to new construction. Is it better to run the mud sideways to prevent block lines. I would always run 1st coat sideways then 2nd up and down. Always seemed to work fine for me. But the company I work for now wants me to put both coats sideways. What is ur opinion on that. Great videos by the way. Keep up good work

Good evening Jason dude, and my fellow plasterer. All excellent questions. The issue with working for companies is, first on a positive side, 'job security,' but when they say jump, you have to say, 'how high boss.' or risk your job.🤔 I had a company tell me I had to use a 12 X 5 plastering trowel, although I was the fasted plasterer that the company ever hire. I told them to kick rocks and quit as I was tired of old men set in goofy ways that were most often part or rules they learned, which they could not part with.😏 As far as sideways or up and down on blocks walls nonsense as long as a half-inch or more is applied, the grout when it rains won't show, period.😉 To grind down or bevel the edges on existing or new stucco is foolish and a waste of time, and one of the most toxic things you can to your health and the homeowner's weather they live next door of five houses away. 🤷 When anyone grinds stucco or cement, they release in the air cut silica-sand" this goes into the lungs and is as bad as asbestos, plus this just is not necessary for the longevity of the work. Instead, clean the area well apply by brush or roller, Larsons, 'Weld-Crete' this bonding agent has been being sold in the professional plastering yards for over 40 years. There are reasons and a vast difference in quality between the stores, the homeowner's shop, and the professional plasterer's shop. Lastly, a person does not dictate the amount of stucco that is needed on a wall. 7/8 is required in the USA for all new homes. This rule is a hundred years old, or as the saying goes, 'etched in stone.' 🤔 As far as patch-work, you add the correct amount so that if a two by four or a rod is placed on the patch both ways, the stucco is furred out true, plumb, and level with the existing stucco. Any other questions, my friend? Kirk and Jason Giordano, together we proved to all the most complete plastering encyclopedia ever created in the world online. The plastering surgeons of KZfaq.

Morning Mac Daddy, I'm immune to those things, as I'm well over 6 foot and weigh a hundred and nothing soaking wet, much to skinny for blood to clot. Besides if that did happen I wouldn't have to get up in the mornings, got to look a the good side of things. cheers, kirk giordano rendering
