This video is another of my son Jason's jobs. He first covered the area and then removed all the loose plaster.
I happened to be in the neighborhood working with my other sons, Carl and Dan and stopped by to show them how we do ceiling repairs.
As it's a real drag to film oneself.
This mud was going off or setting, and I had about 5 minutes to use it or lose it. When this happens, you have to apply it with lots of pressure, throw it away, and remix another bucket full.
We only throw mixed plaster away if it's set where it can't be applied; thus as an example, think of a 15 to 20-pound dumbbell, place it in your hand, and drag it along the ceiling while pushing it upwards.
That's the amount of pressure I was forced to use; it's not a big deal, but explains that when you wait too long while doing other things like "talking" instead of spreading.
Just another day at the office for us.
FYI, I used the diamond lime finish for the base and finish coat and simply finished it, but you have to know a bit about your materials to do this. For example, if I were doing a whole room. I'd apply a basecoat no doubt with Diamond basecoat or Structo-Lite then apply a diamond lime finish over it.
But for such small areas, that was not necessary.

its used to be the $1 throw away.....kirks da best
Times a changin, inflation, hell if they could tax us for dreaming we'd all be bankrupted by now.
I remember my father he was years ago many. He used to work with a long sleeve button shirt on. An any pants. Like this man. My father past away in heaven… thank you 🙏
Your father may he rest in peace was a smart plasterer, and no doubt a great dad, who understood that lye from stucco would burn one's skin.
Sunglasses inside whilst skimming. That is badass!! Love your content
Thanks Kirk 🙌🏼💪🏽
Hello Calvin, thank you, the glasses were to protect my eyeballs from falling dust or insulation. At least for that one area, you never know.👨🏻🔬
The good ones make it look easy. He's the Aaron Rodgers of ceilings...
Evening Mark, thank you, This mud was setting I had to hustle.
Kirk Giordano the GOAT of plaster🙌🏽. I love this guy. I’ve learned so much throughout the years of following him(10+) just by listening, watching and putting it to practice. Thank you, Mr. Giordano for “teaching a man to fish” 💵 , I’m forever grateful👍🏽.
Evening my friend, Man, I like your style, thank you.👨🏫
I’m thinking about inviting friends over to watch these movies. Love em.
Man, now, that's different, you gotta make sure they all have beat up stucco homes and are ambitious enough to watch, lean and then correct their own issues. Then they can take that basket full of dough and take a real vacation.
Hey boss, Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for all the years you have shown us what it means to be a man, and to provide for a family. So many have lost there ways over the years and you. You keep on trucking! God bless you! And its good to see you are still at it. Stay healthy and well my friend. Its always an adventure, and learning experience when we get to watch you.
Howdy Chris, thank you for the kind words, we too sometime fall down deep in the mud, but we like most try and just dust off and get back up and keep living life. Cheers, my friend👨🏼⚕️

Hi Kirk, can you get British Gypsum board/multi finish in the states? If so, I’d love to see a video of you doing a full ceiling or wall with it.
Id like to see him use our stuff too. I have spoken to him in the comments before and his wife’s from Manchester so he’s been here and has actually used it. Their plaster over there looks so different, from what I can gather, their diamond veneer is the equivalent of multi. I think Kirk mixes it up quite thick to cover it in one coat, as opposed to us applying two thinner wetter coats
Good evening Steven, I tried to find the British Multi Finish once, I believe they sold it in New York, which is across the country from where I am. New York just happens to be the shortest distance across the pond, perhaps why it was there?
Its costly to get products that are heavy across the ocean.
The fact remains, if a person can spread one he can spread all of them.👨🏻🔬
thanks for posting these videos you really saved me a ton of labor lath and plaster is kind of a lost art in my area. this has saved me from having to drag so many sheets of drywall up tight stairways and hauling out the old plaster
Howdy Chris, your welcome, cheers
You have great skills, tank you for sharing.
No problemo.
Thanks for sharing so much of your knowledge. I've learned a ton from your videos.
Cool beans, Daddieo, happy to help, you and other can depend on us for sound advice.👨🏼🎨
Merry Christmas Kirk, Jay and Dan Giordano and Family.
Evening Sheerman, thank you and blessing to you and yours.
God Bless you Kirk and the Girodano Family And Happy New Years to yous .
Same to you and correctomundo, hope does indeed does overcome fears.🕴
I'm gonna buy a bucket scoop finally - it's beyond time.
Google any plastering yard or buy them online.💃🏻
@@StuccoPlastering Yes thx I checked HD and Lowes they don't have them
Hi Kirk great job as usual, I had a lath and plaster ceiling fall down on me as I had just started papering it, scary stuff!
When It happened to us it was just about 30-percent that was left, as we removed most of it. We were relieved that it was off without us using any more efforts. We barely noticed this action, as we were too surprised, then we laughed🕵️♂️
You know the mud is getting stiff when kirk isn't speaking.
LOL, good eye brother, I did have about 5 minutes before I would have had to toss it. That added some fun to the task. Use it or lose it. Fortunately my arm could handle the workout.🏋🏽♂️
Stay the course steady as she goes brother
Exzacckory.
thanks for the vid
No problemo, thanks for the comment.
Hello Kirk, new subscriber here. I’ve recently purchased a century old home. I live in the Midwest. I am looking to do a skim coat on every wall that needs it(all of them basically😅) what do you recommend I use and anything I need to do to the wall before besides removing loose material. If you’ve answered the question I apologize. Currently taking a deep dive into your content, amazing stuff! Thank you 🙏
Hi Alex, what we are doing here is also recommended for walls, In the description are more videos that explain more materials such as base coat too. I used the diamond lime finish for the base coat and simply finished it, but you have to know a bit about your materials in order to do this. For example if I were doing a whole room. I'd apply a basecoat no doubt with Structo-Lite then apply a diamond lime finish over it.
But for such small areas, that was not necessary.🕵️♂️
How long should a homeowner wait for the new plaster to dry before painting? I have seen contractors use moisture meters to check it before painting, but not everyone has or can afford a meter. Also, great job on the patches.
My moister meter is ingrained with common sense. All plaster set differently, read the bag. About how long to wait to paint, Most plasters can be painted in about a week.
yo KIRK why not just smear that whole pallet you loaded on the ceiling then smooth it with the trowel???
Only 5 percent of this ceiling was failing. However we could have done that if the client wanted us to do that. That would have cost some extra dough, thus as a rule I don't sell folks what they don't need.
Beautiful
Thank you my friend
That's in England NOT the U S union plasterer are taught to TROWEL smooth
This was done in the USA, I was a plasterer working with the union, and I actually did my four-year apprenticeship back in the early 80s. I was more or less taught to do whatever I felt was right as I was responsible for my actions. al plasterers should be able to match whatever texture there is whether rough or smooth. Easy peasy. 👨🏻🔬
Help! Remodeling a 1950s home with Rocklathe. Scraped a ton of paint. Still have some well bonded paint. My question is should I repair cracks and sections where the plaster had separated with more plaster or joint compound? My concern is what will adhere to remaining painted surfaces and will cracks show up again later. Also I plan to do an entire skim coat of the walls and ceiling to fill low spots and to cover 75 years of imperfections.
Rocklath is top-of-the-line stuff. Any plaster finish is only as good as what it's applied over, Thus clean it as well as possible, apply a bonding agent then plaster over it. It should last forever if your prep work is done well.
Do you get any gypsum over there( I’m from uk)
Tons of gypsum based products here, just not to many lime plasters, that are rel lime "Plasters" anyways. That's another story.
😂 I'd ask why there is a gap above the crown moulding BUT they did put the access door above in a weird ass spot.
PS - Merry Christmas Giordano family!
Exzachary, enough said, Cheers and merry christmas.
Got a question... Running into a bunch of new home builds, where the (chicken wire) is exposed in the exterior plastering, should this be addressed or can the home buyer just move right on in? It is starting to be a common find on new home builds. This is colored and painted finishes, is this normal? Great Show.
Odd, I have yet to see the stucco netting in a finished stucco home. If so, that stucco contractor sucks, if the stucco contractor's work sucks that means they don't care about their work, I'd personally be reluctant to purchase that home.
Stucco netting thank you for the correction, yeah big boom in Texas, and not in a good way, a lot of rush, low quality. The fact you have never seen it, tells me all I need to know, thank you sir. Great show. @@StuccoPlastering
@@bobkat1663 I'd bet, that one stucco contrator will be out of business soon. Like 5 years. It takes that long for the complaints to add up.
FUNKHOUSER can sure plaster
LOL, doubtful, but I sure can.
@@StuccoPlastering :)
do you have a video on wood bark finish
I do, however it's a paint roller that achieves it, type in "paint rollers textures" it may come up or type in your original question, best wishes,
Hey Kirk !! Cheers beast regards......How do you get Diamond plaster so workable, and with a good hold-out time..?? Retarder??? Probably the bags I used on an old bedroom were bad?? The stuff started to dry and set rapidly. Pails were meticulously clean beforehand. Happy New year... Rob G
These bags have born on dates, If they are old they don't keep well or if over mixed set way too fast.
Hi Kirk what this pinkie cout is?
Evening, It's Larson's, "Plaster-Weld, a bonding agent for interior plastering. 👨🏼🎨
Why are you plastering a ceiling instead of using drywall? Is it just staying with the construction style on a really old house or is this for earthquake proofing?
@@marqueswilsonn Morning, usually failing plaster ceilings get replastered as yo try and Sheetrock they are too difficult as the thickness is very different than Sheetrock.
@@StuccoPlastering thank you. Makes sense. Sticking with the existing construction style
I like the way you work and then talk and then continue working as you’re talking so many times I gotta watch a guy talking and not doing any work. Also, you must have awfully strong arms.
Evening Jack, all plasterers have strong arms, comes with years of plastering. Imagine that, getting paid to work out, What a country. Cheers
Sliding the fat around ,, in sunglasses , while we up north are wondering where the day light is ,,,
Never know what is sticking on this ceiling, whatever it is, I don't want falling into my eyeballs. After 40 years, I've had my fill of dust in my eyes.
Are there any consequences mixing Structolite with joint compound. The only stuff I am buying locally is Structolite now. No real finishes so I am using what I can get, Drywall compound so I was just wondering about mixing these 2 products together? Thanks
I don't know as I have not needed to try let alone do this.👨🏫
OK, thanks@@StuccoPlastering
there's a guy craftsman home blog that skim coats with 50/50 plaster and compound. I think personally I'd rather just skim with Diamond.
Structolight seems to be the only thing I can get locally. I was just curios about how the 2 materials work together. where do I read about this guys work?
There's no advantage, it will either set too fact or not set for hours. Its best to use one or the other. I just used the Diamond finish in this video, and yes, it's designed for a sixteenth or an eighth of an inch for residential or commercial. Can you go ince inch or more? I have done 5 to 6 inches with excellent results. But I know what to expect. If not one should improvise.
Whats the pink stuff and whats it called by brand name?
Plaster weld interior. Smells good lol
Ole, tuckpoint answered this, Larsons "PLaster-Weld.
Man, I've never smelled it, you got a good sense of smell.
is it sanded after it dries?
No sir
Lime plaster hardens like what it's made of, "Limestone", you ever try sanding a stone, or pushing a thumbtack throw it? No, it can't be sanded, Good question.
