Interior plastering 101 all you need to know.
Joint compounds for interior plastering.
We show our work because we are honest, confident, and transparent. We have nothing to hide; we know what we are doing. If I had to say where we were schooled, it's closest to, say, the University of Morals, which means if it's not done right, you go back for free and do it again, but this time correctly.
Thus, all can depend on us for sound advice and workmanship.
Few politicians have ever graduated from “The University of Morals. 😉
Folks, for immediate bids, send pictures to me or Jason.

My other two sons, Carl and Dan, are located in Sonora, CA.
They both understand stucco and most carpentry. Both are young, strong, ambitious, and have integrity instilled into them by a father with morals.
Call them for your stucco or plastering needs in that area.

Hello, everyone. The owners of this home asked me to look at some pictures he emailed me online and suggested a fix for the plaster ceiling, which had a chunk of plaster fall off, causing dents in the hardwood floor.
(Good thing no one was standing under the falling plaster.)
I suggested removing the entire plaster ceiling and re-plastering it.
We did just this using a quick set drywall compound.
You might ask how long a lath and plaster ceiling lasts. Centuries as long as vibrations don’t make them loose.
When did they stop using lath and plaster for ceilings? Around 1970, sheetrock was faster and less affected by vibrations.
When doing a project such as this, a lot of time is spent setting up and covering.
We covered the floors and then brought in 4 scaffold A-frames. We then set 5 twelve-foot planks on the scaffold to set this ceiling up properly. Trying it off a ladder would take three times as long to achieve the same results, plus it would make for a very physical process.

Hey chronic dude, great question! Plaster board 4' x 8' x 5/8" thick sheet weighs about 70 lbs. I'm not comfortable hanging it with screws and expecting it to hold. Plus it's just too heavy. I have however on many occasions used sheet rock from ¼ inch to 5/8 inch. I have also used 3.4 self-furred wire mesh and left the cracked or loose stucco in place. All depends on what we have to work with. And more importantly what the home owner desires we do. Best wishes, Kirk giordano plastering

Hi Marvin, the tough part is to know where to stop, that takes years of removing and repairing to get it right. Patchwork cost depends on what’s involved. On this I had to cover the floor twice bring in 6 A frames and about 10 plank. I charge accordingly, Sorry, but every project is a bit different. An average patch for a hole in a ceiling is $400 to $600 depending on circumstances. Thanks for watching and have a great day! Kirk Giordano Plastering

Morning John Tee, I have removed buckling or failing plaster and installed sheetrock to about 50 ceilings in my 30 plus years in this trade. However, what I usually do is what is asked of me. By the way it took 80 years for this plaster to fail and it's mainly because of vibrations caused by their beautiful but heavy and solid wood door opening and slamming. Very typical and completely natural. Thanks for watching, Kirk giordano plastering

Good morning bhumanecate, we didn't have that luxury of a drain, we used hammers to tear all the loose stuff of then we used 3,000 psi water strength to remove the rest and especially the loose cement dust. We went back the next day and swept out the residues. If it's not going to come off with a hammer and pressure washing, the rest should be fine. White Portland cement is white as far as it appearing painted, I never looked at it that way. Have a great day! Kirk Giordano Plastering

Howdy Mr. Shoes, I have used Structo-Lite many times and think it’s a great product. It has perlite in it so it’s light and fluffy like whipping cream and easy to apply. I used the 20 minute mud in this ceiling because I didn’t want it to hairline and I wanted it to set fast, firm and solid, so I could keep moving back to back or in this case bucket to bucket. If I did use Structo-Lite I would have still had to apply 2 coats. Thanks for watching and have a groovy day. Kirk Giordano Plastering

Howdy dude, In order to keep cost low I usually do same day plastering. My sons and I did this tear off and re-plaster in about 4 hours. (And yes, it’s done proper without compromising speed for quality) I sometimes do fasten a 3.4 woven wire mesh if necessary, but it was not in this case. Have a great day, and thanks for the tips.

Mr. Giordano: Thank you so much for putting these how-to’s on the web. I recently had a leak, and to repair it, the plumbers cut a 4’ rectagular hole in the plaster, then chisled into concrete block wall to remove the old pipe. They also put a large hole in the living room wall to expose the vertical stack. I patched the block wall with pavers, then put cement “wonder board” 1/4” thick as a base, painted Plaster Weld on that, and put the plaster over all. Worked better than I’d hoped. The patches will not be invisible, but its a lot better than the hole that was there. I don’t have your skill in matching texture, but I did OK, and my patch is much stronger than a drywall patch would have been.

Most folk’s that call me usually ask for the home to be put back as it was originally was which was plaster. If drywall, sheetrock, plaster board, gypsum board is preferred they call sheet rockers.

Hi bhumanecate, no worries. I swept up the mess when it dried. I did not have access to a shop vac. If water gets behind the old stuff and it will, water has a tendency to loosen it up. If so, again no worries, just pry any newly loosened stuff off. Its better it loosen before you apply the new plaster. Your new plaster is only as good as what it applied to.

So thank you for your kindness You always talk about the materials that you’re using but for some reason it did not click in my head I’m always looking for plaster to repair the plaster walls I have in “the room of horrors “ in my house Naturally I went to Home Depot looking for plaster they have small bags of plaster of Paris I believe... no one knows how to use it or what it is for. I looked up online for places around here I found one place it was a little far from my house and they are closed on the weekend...so I let this project go I just Watched a few of your videos again ..you are talking about “mud” Then I read the comments and One thing I just realized Is that I have the USG Eazy send 45 and 90 here at the house Now I know there are many ways to skin a cat but should I use this throughout ? I have an area that the wood lath stop and the room continue in bricks Also, If i can’t get larsons at the store here in Michigan ..what product do you recomend ? Thank you for everything

Well done! I would have been inclined to take down the light fixture in the center of the room for the ceiling repair, but then I probably would have been saddled with the task of fixing some deteriorating wire insulation. Your knowledge and experience are golden.

Howdy Krill my friend, plastering is like all other trades, all of them take practice, which at first you may hate it but love having a job, but then gradually you get good at it and start to love it as you now have learned to do it well which brings a bit of self satisfaction knowing you did a good job.

Love your videos. I use a multi tool to score the plaster to cut and remove it. Easy no blades and easier on me.Plaster on brother.
@StuccoPlastering 2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ron, yes, the multi-tool can be used; it's easier. I found the way I did faster, but yes, it was more demanding physically, but I prefer to get it removed more quickly than with less effort. Plus, the multi-tool creates a shit ton of fine silica dust, not good either.😉

Thank you Kirk for showing us the correct way to do old school plaster, cant get enough of your videos!! My wife and I have a 1924 Tudor in Cleveland, OH. I've done a fair bit of mud work on it at this point so Im pretty comfortable with a trowel, now iIm looking to tackle some plaster projects as the majority of the house is still the original plaster with the adobe finish, however the kitchen has two layers of sheet rock on the ceiling (first by previous owner and second by bank when it was foreclosed), both of which were hastily installed with a half ass popcorn finish, just looks terrible. This vid is exactly what I needed!!! I have a question however, do you have any videos on how to plaster outside corners?? I have to fix the plaster in some other rooms that have outside angles and not really sure how to get it nice and straight. Thanks again and keep em coming!!!

Howdy Felix. Sometimes! For example I have seen some folks use screw to hold up loose areas on ceilings providing the screws go into the wood lath and not the grout lines. If you place a plaster of any kind on loose plaster it's only as good as what it is applied to. Plaster if different to sheet rock as it does not have a paper skin holding the gypsum together, therefor screws, have little value. Sorry brother. Have a good evening. Kirk Giordano plastering

@StuccoPlastering 8 жыл бұрын
Howdy Leg Dude, I had an idea of what arrogant meant, but had to check google to be sure, what it really means, "having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities." This is me, it's due to my first 17 years of life growing up in a ghetto, where life was like living in a war zone, no joke, being poor was not so bad, however being afraid to walk outside and go to school year after year can do some real damage to a person's mind. I developed not low self esteem but super low self esteem, which is not doubt why to this day I'm a perfectionist and a worrier, still trying to compensate. things that make you go hmmmmmm. Cheers, kirk giordano plastering
