I built my home in Mexico 35 years ago and after wetting my cement blocks I used the same air gun that used to spray a textured ceiling to spray stucco directly on the block . It’s been this long and my outside walls here in this area of Baja California Mexico is still in great condition.😊
These guys are good, I’ve been doing stucco since 1992 and now days no one wets the block first with is “very important” and yes it’s ok to use a go devil on block but not lath, and that’s exactly right, it’s all about moisture and layers not one shot, THE ROD is the only way to do smooth or float finishes and see how he finishes it side ways?! that is knowledge...Great job!!!
You said,"No Lath"..why do you say that? And when you say Lath, do you mean that metal mesh stuff that you attach to the wall and then stucco over? I want to someday build a house out of cement block then stucco/render over it. I thought that you use that mesh stuff so the stucco lasts longer?
@@PxssyGalore I'm not as experienced in stucco, but I do some and I'm a mason/bricklayer. You do not need galvanized mesh over concrete block. There's a natural, mechanical bond, a cementatious bond that occurs. Make sure the block is as clean and dust free as possible, and dampen it, but don't saturate it. Over wood? Yes, use a moisture barrier then attach the mesh and plaster coat it.
Oh plus all the names of the tools your using! Closeup of wall was excellent to see the consistency of the mix on the wall, what it should look like! 👍👍keep up the great work & videos! thank you
So Miguel wears a white shirt and after the job is done his shirt is still white... must be great to work with someone so competent. Good professional video too, thanks!
I am did same like this plaster when I am doing I feeling so much enjoying,, I will tell you for drying issue use a brush and throw some water on face plaster before shaping... Also sometimes I want to do plaster some kind of mans after making hammering on his face,, I wanted learn how to do decors from concrete then painting I like to amazing architect design,, I love this construction job,,
Looks pretty good but would it be possible to use something more fine grained like how spackle is for drywalls? I'm guessing it will be much easier to work with and much finer finish. just a matter of using very fine sand?
I’m in Austin Texas and had someone do our foundation facing! Wish I had seen this video before we had someone work on it😫! We didn’t know any better so the people that worked on it made a disastrous job of it! They used different types of cement, so our facing has different shades of grey on it!
Is that like 2 parts sand to 1 part concrete? I'm in the midwest we get 100F in summer and - 10F in winter. looking for a mix that will handle the extremes. Thanks for the help.
I been a stucco mason on the east coast for over 20 years. California seems to be behind the curve just a tad. We use vinyl beads and Jmolds etc. Glad to see you guys using rods too. Atleast you guys arent hacking it up like that Kirk Giordano guy, that guy is the worst I've seen.
Wrong brother we use metal trim because we don't have humidity like you we use stainless steel next to the ocean but everywhere else we use regular trims and we have the plastic trims to some city codes ask for plastic trims some don't
How do you do this on a 10ft tall wall that's 30ft long by yourself without it drying out or leaving a joint? Do the bottom all the way across first then jump up and do the top? Or jump up and down
Great video! I have a couple of questions. 1. How did you nail the corner bead without blowing out the block? 2. I started to stucco a small courtyard cmu wall in my backyard. I put the whole 1/2” coat in one shot. A big chunk fell off the middle and I noticed a lot of sag on the bottom of the wall. Would you recommend two 1/4” passes to avoid this problem? Thanks for the great videos and your advice! 👍🏼
Thinking of doing this for wall in my backyard, but it’s painted. Can this be applied over a painted wall or would I need to get the paint off first? Thanks!
How different yous do it compared to us in Ireland... we do a scud coat first at 2to 1 which is like a splashed on coat.. then scratch coat at 4 or 5 to 1.. then a finish coat at 4 or 5 to1... one coat you usually see every block through it
Have you ever had marble sand together with white cement, it's a miracle so beautifully white when it dries, you don't even need to paint it, we use it smooth or thrown rough, rough can be used when a wall is crooked and abnormal.
For a block wall you just need a base coat , or 2 passes to get a good thickness and hide those block joints, stucco or finish, color coat is Also cementious product but has more bonding additives, the finish they are going to do is a smooth, as fine as flour.. so yes same stuff on both coats, stucco or different material for final coat

Lots of good info there.
Put glue on block not water pure amateur 45years in the trade
@@MMGJ10 Will it bond to cement board without Mesh? Will it apply and hold just like it does to the cinder blocks?
Miguel makes it look so easy.
The cleanliness and professionalism at the job site is 🙌🏻, more contractors need to be like clea. And not dirty their surroundings
Who’s Clea?
Please wear a mask I'm 68 and can't breathe I have concrete in my lungs love your work master mason

You guys do quality work. I’ve learned a few tips from you that I’m going to tweak on my own projects
Please protect your lungs from cement and silica dust when mixing your mortar.
I’m not a contractor or doctor, but was thinking the same thing.
Great job! I've been doing this kind of work for many many years.
Just goes to show you , that there are people with some great talent A
I knew from when you said wet your walls you had this under control! Made it very easy with your routine.
Excellent video. The commentator is professional with a little swag. Love it
Very impressive. Definitely a professional. Great job.👍
True craftsman, very talented. They make it look easy, definitely not easy,
Working men👍!
A very fine line between a hoddie and a baker,!!!!
Love how you explain everything & why you do all the extra steps. Excellent youtube video!
Subscribed! & don’t regret it. 👍
Definitely more an "art" than a science. Good job.
That miguel es chingon!
Is like tape and float with cement.. respect ✊
70’s had grooves! True that!
In many ways,lol.
These guys are artists.
Miguel makes that looks super easy he got good technique
I liked that applying material technique I wonder if I could use that technique in cement rendering here in Australia as well
Good job! From a stucco company in northern idaho
This was great. You guys not only did an awesome job, but you made the video be enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Believe me he is making it look fairly easy but it’s way harder than you think they did an amazing job
THANK YOU For letting people know to properly Pre-Wet the Cinder-Block wall…
Looking forward to part two. Nice!
75 Stucco finishers who did not like this video for letting us know how to do it ourselves!
Love your work , we are watching from the UK cheers from building with Budd 👍
Talk about privacy, that is high and looks 👍👍💪, CHINGON!

I’m waiting on part 2 to finish my wall lol
Part 2 is now up 👍
@@pandaplastering2466 where you guys from
@@louis3998 i believe they're in fontana
@@louis3998 looks like California .
😂😂😂
Yeah... Imma jus call Miguel cause he look like he know EXACTLY what he's doing.. LOL
Call me ...the first coat should of been scratched
What form of magic do you use to get it to ignore gravity. I tried it a few times. I put it on the wall it falls off. Works great on the ground.
Miguel is the man!
I’m glad I work for myself, because after a day like this, I would need two days off to rest.
We call the go devil tool the money maker 😂 good vid
Lol
Miguel is doing everything, I just was passing by and decided to recorde !!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks pretty good but would it be possible to use something more fine grained like how spackle is for drywalls? I'm guessing it will be much easier to work with and much finer finish. just a matter of using very fine sand?
Looks good. If the bid allows add rib lath to the wall and attach with shot pins. That ensures you never see grout lines bleed through.
You make it look easy! I have paint on my cinder block wall, do I need to pressure wash all the paint off first?
Excellent work nice job
Hi panda, try using masonry sand instead of plaster sand over masonry walls. You wont regret it. Ken from nor cal
U dindt need to add weldcrete?

Waaaaaaaaaaaa
Alma F, If you took the cheapest price then you got what you deserve.
The “ Zen “of plaster.
☮️
a true plasterer can take the mud off the front of the hawk ..most wont bother to use a rod on a wall....or wet the block.. so good job !!!!!
Is that like 2 parts sand to 1 part concrete? I'm in the midwest we get 100F in summer and - 10F in winter. looking for a mix that will handle the extremes. Thanks for the help.
Fantastic job. So many contractors spray and say looks good.

Make sure the block is filled and angle your gun inward. Don’t mix too wet. And apply in multiple layers
@@pandaplastering2466 Thank you for the reply! Are you using a ramset or other tool to set the nails?
I just set my corner beads with mud right after I mix. No chance of blowing a block out doing that.
@pandaplastering2466 please reply can you stick foam block on this and gow
Es todo mis chingones, keep it up .
skilled artists... awesome video

Nice work ! Hope you make a million bucks but no I'll leave mine to the professionals !!
Nice work.
Can you apply that over a red brick chimney?
Great video

beautiful ❤
Did you have to seal the wall first? Or after the stucco is applied?
Great videos man!

Miguel is so good he can wear a white shrt n blue jeans to a construction job and not even get dirty
Nice thanks for sharing 👍
Excellent video. A lot of good information here.
does stucco help with water protection? my outside wall is starting to get coerced. Do I sand them down first?
Is there a product to apply to the wall before adding cement instead of just watering or wetting the wall?
Miguel has a tool belt on for hours and never uses any tools on there. Is it like a comfort blanket?
🤭😊😎
Thanks for the knowledge
thanks for showing the way.
A good helper is key
Nice Work. Yes, masks when mixing.
Can stucco be put on brick chimney?
You need to have your guy take care of his lungs mandatory even if he doesn’t like it
Chingon el Miguelon! Awesome
Ese miguel es chingon.
So much 2 learn....thanks guys !! 🖒
They say we don't have to do that here on the East coast NC. Is that right. I always want to do the right way and best way on jobs
Is it possible to stucco directly on hardy board? If yes, is the process different?
What's the ratio of cement and sand by shovel.
Can I use type S mortar for this? I have extra bags from the block wall job.
How come you didn't put on wellcrete? Is going to fall off
So this is applying "stucco" over cinder blocks, not "concrete". Which is preferable and why? Great video thanks so much!
Do you use wire brush or brush wheel to clean off previous paint on cinder block in order to prep for stucco ?
Are there any videos on how to remove stucco from a block wall
WOW! Where can I buy a go devil tool? I looked that up on home depot and got nothing. Where do I go? I
Very Good workers
I was surprised to see you didn't start by putting some sort of primer on that wall.
He did, he wet the wall.
@@FELY7494 Well, that hardly qualifies as a primer. Doing something first, doesn't make it a primer.
Bout to do it. Dope thank you brother
Bro you look like finish carpentry 😂👍👍
Is the material the same for all three coats? Scratch 1st, brown 2nd, finish 3rd? Thank you for your help.
For a block wall you just need a base coat , or 2 passes to get a good thickness and hide those block joints, stucco or finish, color coat is Also cementious product but has more bonding additives, the finish they are going to do is a smooth, as fine as flour.. so yes same stuff on both coats, stucco or different material for final coat
