We show our work because we are honest, confident, and transparent. We have nothing to hide; we know what we are doing.

Howdy all, Jason, my son, filmer, and plasterer, made this video to explain how to stucco walls or cut up front porches. For your information, stucco needs two coats. In this video, we applied three, as the dash coating is considered another coat.
I’m adding it because it’s so funny. It features a “Handy Andy” and a “Real Plasterer,” whose skills surpass anything we have done. I was impressed by the professionalism in this old video. • Lathing and Plastering...

Thank you all for watching, and have a wonderful and exciting day.
That helper of yours looks in pretty rough shape. Has he been with you a long time? That's the only way I think I could justify someone working that slowly around me.
LOL, he is my brother, that's Luuuu, A car ran over his foot three years ago, and he's not been the same as the bones didn't heal right. He won't accept cash from anyone unless he earns it, thus will always have a job with me. He ain't heavy he's my brother. ruclips.net/video/fBI9i3HlFVE/видео.html/ 🏋🏽♂
@@StuccoPlastering Beautifully said, I like that.
@@StuccoPlastering well that's a pretty darn good reason for keeping him on! I'd do the same.
You ain’t bullshitting there.
About 30 years ago A fella was wondering the streets in a panic, lu said, what's the matter, He looked at Lu like he was looking at Randy Savage the pro wrestler, and finally said man, I lost all my cash last night. Lu said, I found a lot of cash this morning, how much you lose? Get thee amount close, I'll know its yours, the fella said 3,000 dollars, Lu handed him back the cash he found on the curb. Then as he was broke asked me to borrow a couple bucks for a cup coffee.
That's my brother Lu. you can't judge a book by it's cover.👨🏫
Your videos are great. Don't listen to folks saying to make bite-size videos. Make them as long as you need too. I enjoy them and always learn things. Thanks for posting this one
I appreciate that!😉
nice and long is better if you can do it. the problem is drying time.
Great answer for short videos. Quality takes time. The old good , cheep or fast, pick 2. Can't thank you enough for your videos. I'm in the process of stuccoing the house you have taught me a lot.
Thanks, you can depend on us for accurate advice. 👍
Always appreciate a true professional showing his work. One can see the prep in the wire form as it is very straight and true. Doing this in triple digits has got to have a price on the body. Thanks for another one.
Good evening my friend, the price of applying the mud in really hot weather is excellent heath as the sun always has and always will make love to my body. Yes, I glow like a campfire, but the sun and me are dear friends.👨🏫
Any journeyman can apply his skill. A Master Craftsman teaches others, as he is not intimidated by competition.
Howdy Salem, no, we dont worry about competition, in fact I tell folks get three other bids besides mine🍻
Definitely keep making these great videos no matter how long they are.
You're 111% correct. You can't teach this lost art in 2 minutes. And some don't know it yet, but their muscles will let them know by tomorrow.
Howdy Jim, we’ve made a thousand videos in the last 15 years. We generally video one out of ten jobs as a rule that we think will benifit some folks.
This old timer kicks ass!!
Howdy Jay, I'm no spring chicken, that's a fact Jack, But can apply stucco in my sleep👨🏻🔬
10:30 pm and I'm watching Kirk instead of sleeping

LOL, I have posted some of these at like 3 and 4 am as I lose track of time sometimes myself when I'm having fun. Too many rules in this world, good thing I often discard them💃🏻
You're technic is still sharp buddy.
Been watching one of your most watched and its youre flat wall run of Stucco, then santa barbra freestyle at the end and you had a drywall contracter there too.
Youre a great mud slinger Brother.
Take care of those knees!
Have a great weekend!
Howdy Daniel, I remember that one, in fact I remember every job I've ever stuccoed and who was with me. I remember most words to all songs, but can't remember my kids birthdays, what's up with that? I think I have sometimers.👨🏻🔬
Same!! I have 3 Girls, for me, it's a deep subject. My wife hates every job I point out, but for a plasterer its Art! No matter the nightmare, it's Art!
Live long and PLAASTER my friend.
Good seeing...Louuuu! Tough old boy. ♥️
Cheers, my fellow plasterer, Lu and me are cockroaches, it will take a nuclear war to kill us👨🏻🔬
Thanks Kirk and jay . I’m a taper and I’m studying for my red seal test ,and you guys are helping me a lot lately. Basically here in Quebec tapers to get their license need to know about veneer ,parge ,venecian etc…. And without you I couldn’t make it
Hello my soon to be licensed pal, I'd say good luck, however luck is the residue of being well prepared.👨🏻🔬
Love watching pros…they make shit look so easy, like you can just start doing it…but its incredibly difficult
Morning my Creeper friend, thank you, Like everything in life, it takes practice and a love of what you're doing.👨🏻🔬
i like lue. move slow and careful. i agree. im buliding lathe cement mold around my house & ill be replacing roof also. all diy. im taking lue as my pace. great job guys . love all the vids.
@@joycelynbuatsie6286 Hello Joice, the journey of a thousand miles begins one step at a time.
I love your videos...longer the better lol!! I will be stuccoing my pool shack in the spring. Never stuccoed before so love your videos
Thank you, my friend.😉
As always, I enjoyed your informative and entertaining video. You are a professional (i.e. this is how you make a living), but more accurately and importantly you are an expert in your field and a true craftsman. Thanks for the link to the old-time newsreel, it was fun to watch.
Thanks for watching, I know a couple guys just like handy Andy, and they wonder why I can't refer them.💃🏻
Well you guys are great but you should scratch those areas in tight first even running bead, so you don’t have fall outs from just pounding in mud. 31 years in trade and in business 10 years Florida. Great channel much respect to you guys. Not a lot of us working men left anymore.
Howdy my fellow plasterer, I sometimes apply just a scratch coat, but when Ole Lu, my brother brings me hot mud on a hot day, I double coat as the paper will suck the Water/Moisture out of the stucco almost as fast as I apply it. Every day to every mix is improvised depending on the weather locations and all the other things, we are both aware of.🤠
This is a true professional
Good morning my friend, thank you for the kind comment.😉
Nice work, you make it look easy
This is actually quite easy as were used to doing it. If you can stucco a wall you can stucco anything, no matter how detailed it is. In fact, the more intricate the better we like it.🤠
Hey hey guys!!! So great to catch another awesome vid! Hope the Giordano family is having a perfect summer of 2023! Thanks for all the vids over these years.
Morning Thor, thank you, my friend, same to you and yours. 💃
Good to see big brother Loooou in action.👍🏼
@@photodoc100 Louuu got his foot run over while riding his bike by a hit and run driver about 4 years able, it’s difficult for him to walk, but he won’t accept cash from anyone unless he earns it.
Awesome work Kirk!!!!!!
You’re still #1 brother!!!🤙🏼🤙🏼🏆🏆🤜🏼🤛🏼😎
Evening Tony; thank you, I feel the happiest spreading stucco. It's the Oxygen rush.👨🏻🔬
that old plastering video was awesome to see, thanks for sharing that in the video description mate
No problemo. 👍
Love the long vids! Wish you worked Orange County. I’d hire for sure
Maybe one day! I hear the weather beautiful.
Hello Kirk! Good to see you again brother, interesting part is I was thinking about you and Giordanos videos and as soon I got back home after work there it goes infront of me....bless you Kirk and your family! A Greek in UK
Howdy my Greek buddy in the UK. man, you are too kind, thank you.
So awesome watching The Master at work... You are an Artist. I only wish some High School kids who aren't interested in College could apprentice with your crew... We need future tradesmen- I predict that in 10 years, if you call a Plumber, for instance, it will be a two week WAIT for one to show up....!
LOL, I would say that depends on how hungry they are and if they enjoy their chosen profession.😉
@@StuccoPlastering That's the problem, they have no chosen profession- they DON'T want to "work..."!
I despise shorts, they exist for you tube’s financial benefit.
Great video Kirk, Jay and Lou!
I'm not sure who benefits, but a fella can't learn much in a minute.
Love it!
For us, just another day at the office.🏋🏽♂️
Your skill and talent are amazing! So grateful for these videos you make, you don’t know how many people you’ve helped in so many ways! 💕 I can’t help sometimes too to think…your forearms and biceps must be giant! 💪💪
Evening Summer Smiles, catchy name BTW, no, they are normal, but full of life with oxygen and blood filling the veins and strong like steel. This trade has kept me healthy, I should be the one paying folks to do this work for this wonderful workout.
Things that make you go Hmmmm.🥂
Love your videos, beautiful family ML&R
You are so kind, thank you.
Do you have any videos that cover veneers with color in the finish?(diamond or imperial)
Hi Jason, type in, how to apply lime plasters, adding stucco pigments is also on a seperate video.👩
Nice work my good friend.
Howdy Eric, thank you my friend. Cheers.💃🏻
Well done Kirk
Howdy Greenfire Dude, thank you👨🏫
making beautiful work look fun to do once again Kirk!!
Man, this was fun to do, I woke up early, thinking time to have some fun. What a country👨🏻🔬
The wire your using is really a thing of the past ,with the Canadian wire a lather can be alot more productive sure it cost more but it's worth it,it's very user friendly vs the alternate inch 17 gauge,Just saying also less flingers when plasters start spreading
Bro, he's been slinging mud since you were in diapers
You must be talking about Structo-lath, I've used it it, it is easier to use, but in my opinion, isn't furred deep enough. The weld is cool, but I prefer this heptagon 17 or 18 gage stuff myself. We do show how to use it too.💃🏻
@@Kushert I'm 50 years old 3rd generation of skilled lathers and top notch interior and exterior full synthetic and conventional know how I have learned from literally hundreds of plasters some who have even earned the privilege of donning the white bow tie ,so don't fret,you'll get there one day little slugger.
@jasonsnider8749
I hear you, buddy. I'm a 42 year old successful business owner of over 20 years, and I could go on and on. Hopefully, you'll get there one day, too.
@@KushertI'm already there, I have two outfits one up in idaho and 1 down here. In Long Beach, California, you wouldn't believe. What these inspectors are requiring and depending on the state where you live?
And the codes that you have to abide by.
I don't always agree with.
But you telling me he was slinging mud When I was in diapers? You're wrong about that, my Grandpa on my dad's side died at 52 years old from cement poisoning. He had 9 sons, my father was second oldest. Every single one of my Uncle's are plasters who also own their own company's elsewhere. I didn't have any kids, so. This trade will stop unfortunately with me. My cousins got out, their kids don't want to do it. So it will end with me, but I've had a great ride. I've met a lot of people a lot of clients lot of great plasterers. In fact, I'll never get out of the trade I will die on the wall once you get out, you can never get back in. Not to mention I've been in the local Union as well now called the local 200 just local 2 back then, It's a joke got out of that started my own company. I'm glad I did. Also I don't even advertise it's all word-of-mouth.
And I keep Busy, For the most part but it is feast or famine in this trade
Kirk thanks for the video. Can you make another video showing the mixture of the stucco?
Mr. Musk, you of all people know we have any and everything in regards to stucco known to man, Type in "how to mix stucco."
Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
DAMN GOOD 👍
Thank you my friend.
Always good stuff from Kirk and crew.
The best.👩🦰
Great job in that heat Kirk👍🇮🇪
I kinda like the heat, personally.💃🏻
Love this! Thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
Another great video, Thanks, I learned a lot of tricks! Happy I don't have to work in that kind of heat, in Astoria Oregon, I would wilt like a daisy!
If I had a choice, I'd take 95-degree weather every day; I love the heat.
Like y'all work very much
Thank you Jaime, this is more like playtime.👨🏻🔬
Kirk… hope this message finds you and yours doing well. Question, are you using 16/32 grit and or how long does that mixture last before it’s too set to apply? Thank you for the video.
There's 16 thirty, and 16 twenty, that's all they make As far as silicate aggregate goes.
Howdy I'm using Felton or Olimpia sand for the mix. Usually three times the sand for every one part stucco.👨🏻🔬
You're a mule my friend ! 😃💪
Man, I can do this stuff in my sleep.🕵🏼
2:14am watching and learning from Kirk wide awake 👀
LOL, that's okay as your indoors, if your outside at a ATM Money machine, that means your up to no good. And that's okay, just don't get caught.💃
Great explanation 👌...
Thank you,👨🏻🔬
Beast!
Howdy Rainmaker, cool beans, Daddieo.🍻
Yeah Buddy
Howdy Punk Dude, thank you, my friend💃
In your video, I see that you only used 1 coat. Is it because it's an outdoor short wall so you only need 1 coat? If I buy Quickrete from Home Depot, can I use just 1 coat?
7/8 is required if you can one coat that much, your golden
I love your videos, and I notice you usually wear a microphone. This time I had trouble hearing you. Did you forget to wear the mic?
It was a bad connection, sorry
@@StuccoPlastering no worries, Kirk, still entertaining as always!
@@andrewferguson8032 Thank you.
Master🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you.
Q: How do pirates know that they are pirates?
A: They think, therefore they ARRRR!!!!!
LOL,💃🏻
Help….
Mr Kirk, I live in Louisiana and we have been having temps in the 100’s even in early morning and late evening!
I have a stucco repair roughly 18” by 40” and I’m planning to use “rapid set” from Home Depot!
How can I increase working time of mix?
Maybe use ice cold water?
How about mixing “rapid set” with “regular” stucco?
Any ideas? Thanks, Bobby!
Howdy Bob, yes, they should sell the retarder too, if not order it online. Or buy the Sakrete or Quikrete stucco, it sets slower. Watch our latest video about Sakrete from HD.👨🏫
So, Should I mix the sakcrete with the rapid set? Will that slow it down and make it stronger?
Or should I just use the saktete by itself?
Thanks, Bobby
Howdy Bob, by itself, you will have at least an hour before it starts to set; float it while it's firm. Use skill, not muscle. Rapid set, set in about 15 to 20 minutes, they do sell the retardants at some of the HD stores.👨🏻🔬
Are you referring to sakcrete Base coat mix…the scratch and brown one step mix?
Do I need a finish coat or can I just prime and paint ? Thanks!, Bobby!
Hey Kirk, did you know a guy by the name of Steve Camper, Camper Construction?
Sounds familiar.🤔
@@StuccoPlastering just wondering, he said he knew of you. Thanks for the response brother.
kirks the best (: 👍👍
Howdy Ruben, you are to cool my friend, thank you.🏋🏽♂️
What is the trowel called you used to apply the basecoat?
It's called a swim-pool trowel it's 20 X 5 and holds half a hawk of mud. I tell folks to use a Marshalltown 14 X 5 as the one I prefer is too cumbersome for most folks. 👨🏻🔬
I would be wearing half that stucco
Contraire mon friar, not if you had to wash your clothes.💃
Молодец! Лайк всегда!) 👍👍👍
Thank you, my brother💃🏻
Kirk how do you mix your brown coat
Evening Joey, you can type those words into our channel for a tutorial. We usually use a premium cement plaster mixed with three times the amount of sand. Premium stucco means it has lime that acts as a plateriser and common which is added and used for structural strength.👨🏫
Kirk for president
*of the league of professional plasterers
I'd last 5 minutes as a president, I can't lie. ruclips.net/video/geiS49_p84Q/видео.html/👨🏻🔬
Can anyone tell me what is used to attach the wire ? And do you attach the wire flush to the wood/tar paper?
A lathers staple gun was used the paper is self furred as 99 % of the wire is set off the wall a quarter inch, Sorts of like Dobies used for concrete. Thus the stucco becomes embedded with the lath in the center. Type in lathing instructions on our page.👨🏫
👍👍
👍 thank you brother.
Kirk kinda cute I’ll say❤
LOL,
Can anyone tell me how long the stucco needs to dry/cure before prime and painting it?
Never paint stucco if anything Fog coat it.
The boring fact of waiting the traditional 28 days before painting new stucco.
When new stucco is first applied, it has a high pH of around 14.
It’s best to wait a few weeks or more, depending on weather and hydration, for the pH level to drop to around an 8 or 9. Why? If painted too soon, the paint can blister, ghost, and peal or not adhere as well as it should due to new stucco’s high acidity. 👨🏻🔬
what kind of paper do u use
Two Ply 60 minute Jumbo Tex as a rule.👨🏻🏫
I need to learn how to stucco. Its so expensive to hire people.
Exzackory.
Always good content... but the sounds on this one was sub par
Dude, you are being too kind, the sound o this one bit the big weiner, Jason ordered a few new mics as it was so bad it took me over three hours to write in the words. I actually quit halfway through, then later that night went back and corrected the wording. 👨🏻🔬
only a prof can work with concrete in a white buskness shirt.. mine would look like the concrete in first few minutes!!!!
Howdy DK, LOL, the trick is, I have to wash my clothes, hense I stay clean. 🕵🏼
I couldn’t hear a word he was saying
Sorry brother, the mic was busted so my son Jay, used his phone to record, I did spend forever, create those damned titles click on to at least to read what was said. We now have our new twenty dollars mic.👂
🫡👍
🖖🏼Live long and plaster.
i miss ya man...make some more long vids!!
See there Jay, maybe you should not have shaved so much off.😉
