Good evening Christian, I appreciate these kind words.

There will be some jealousy as it's normal, no doubt as some may be better but unknown, that's got to hurt, so I understand their negativeness.🤔 Back to you, your what counts. When you get caught up with hod-carrying, start plastering until your better than the guys doing it. It won't take long for you to be better, and soon enough, they will be working for you.😏 Mark my words on this brother as I was exactly in your position until I picked up a hawk and trowel and found I was as good if not better within a few weeks, no bullshitting you.

Awesome video as usual. Kirk, I have a question. I have damaged drywall behind a lazy boy chair. It's from repeated rubbing and rocking etc... I'm sure you've seen this kind of damage. I wanted to know how to go about repairing that. Most people will tell you to remove any debris and dust, then just put compound over it and skim it out. I thought maybe it'd be a better idea to get the exposed drywall wet (the paper is gone) because putting compound over the dry stuff just seems like it won't adhere as well as it could. Maybe even use plaster weld on it? You've answered questions of mine before and I greatly appreciate it!!!!
Hello TehBerbDean, easy peasy lemon squeezy, not sure what this means but me wife says it when I ask her a simple question. You had it correct, plaster weld, then skim with a 20 minute drywall compound. or you can apply two coats of taping mud, with this method you won't need to buy the plaster weld, as taping mud adheres without a bonding agent. If you apply tapping mud, the first coat should bfill out to where you want it to be, it will shrink and crack like an egg, wait a day or two when completely dry, then apply another coat, this should do the trick. Best wishes and have a Fantastic Day, Kirk Giordano’s DIY plastering tips
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. I will use your advice and coat twice with taping mud. Even though before your comment I thought the two terms were interchangable =)
Okay I have another question Kirk lol. You sort of confused me by saying "20 minute drywall compound" vs taping mud. I thought drywall compound was taping mud? Or do you mean a plaster compound? Hmm..So many kinds of muds...
Evening TehBerbDean, good question as there are many muds from many different companies that have similar goals. It is confusing to say the least. A twenty minute drywall compound, means use have 20 minutes to mix and apply before its too hard to use, you can apply an inch thick if you wish. You can use this product over wood lath, timber lath or sheetrock. Taping mud can be applied at the most about an 1/8 inch thick than needs a day to dry where you reapply this process often, usually folks sand this taping mud also if they want it real smooth. This is the short answer. Cheers, and have a Fantastic day! Kirk Giordano’s DIY plastering tips

Howdy Kirk, you are indeed a Rock Star of your craft. Watching your videos makes me want to grab some mud and start spreading - easy to see what you love - family and stucco! So I do have a Q: avoiding all questions about 'code in your area' what gauge staple do YOU use, specifically over sheathed wood substrate? And if you would be so kind, what length. (Sorry if I missed it - i've watched nearly everyone of your vids - many several times!) Your tools list on the web site suggests 16ga but I have seen some lofty posts that claim it must be 14! Help! Thanks! -Lost in the north Woods.
Howdy, It Dude, I use 16 Gauge by 1-inch Crown by 1-1/4 inch Length Electro-Galvanized Staples keep in mind that 7/8 of the leg has got to be in the stud, I generally use 1-1/4 inch to accommodate for plywood width. Best wishes, kirk giordano plastering
Hola amigo, gracias, estamos usando una pulgada y cuarto, ya que 7/8 tiene que estar incrustado en el montante. Tenemos que tener en cuenta la pared escarpada. En los viejos tiempos, cuando solo eran pernos, usábamos 7/8 antes de 1980.👨🏻🔬
Howdy Travis, I have not had the opportunity, as I would have to be in the process of doing that kind of work. I have done many in the past. They are very simple; the main difference is the use of 20 gauge wire, Instead of 17 or 18.
@@StuccoPlastering I have watched all your videos and im gonna try and stucco my 11x11 shed!! Foam board up just got to lath and corners but still not sure what stucco to use, some guys are saying cement fiber stucco, or just bags of stucco from Lowes or Home depot.
@@traviswalker007 Howdy James Bond, Heer's how you do foam board. You first attach the paper to protect the wood, then attach the boards, then as you're using foam, you can attach the thin 20-gage stucco netting onto the foam. Apply a quarter inch of stucco, preferably BMI 690 with fibers, Sold only at plastering yards. Allow to set and paint or apply a color finish.
Hello, I've been told that you can mix some type of fiberglass with the portland and sand to mix the stucco yet I dont know what specific fiberglass nor how much. Can you help?
Howdy Los Machetes, sure you can, about 30 years ago some cement products had fibers in the bagged cement plaster, a problem was they were too big about 1/2 long and really thick. these sometimes showed when applying two coats with any texture, they would be sticking out all over the place. These days they sell bags of pre-cut fiberglass fine mesh that won't show when applying just two coats. FYI, in the old days, they used horse and all sorts of animal hairs and even human hair as hair is really strong too.

Morning Joann Pierre, the paper we generally use is called two ply jumbo tex, it comes in 30 or 60 minute grades. it's a code requirement that two separate layers are needed prior to stucco netting, when stucco is used., note these two layer are spot glued together for easier use. If they are not spot glued they have the habit of separating from each other which is really time consuming and annoying. Cheers, Kirk giordano rendering

Evening David, this self-furred stucco netting is sold everywhere, you can get it at Home Depot, lowes, or google plastering yards near me.

Howdy Robhert, Dens glass is a water-resistant gypsum based sheathing while wire or stucco netting is fastened to hold the stucco in place.

Hello Kirk. Can you come re-plaster my house? That would be great.

Can you please tell me what staple gun are using? I’m a lather and I need a new one
Greetings Fernando, it's a Senco PW Gun, there is a link to it in this description. You can click on and buy direct from Amazon.🤔
Amazon is half the cost of what they sell for at the plastering materials yards.
If you need Immediately, I think HD may sell them too.

What size Staples do you use kirk?
Evening John, I use an inch and a quarter as the leg of the staple has to embed in the stud at least seven eighths.
this accounts for the shearwall or plywood.

what is the black paper called that you used before the wire
Morning Joann Pierre, the paper we generally use is called two ply jumbo tex, it comes in 30 or 60 minute grades.
it's a code requirement that two separate layers are needed prior to stucco netting, when stucco is used.,
note these two layer are spot glued together for easier use.
If they are not spot glued they have the habit of separating from each other which is really time consuming and annoying.
Cheers,

What about the insulation before the stucco ?
Evening John,
The insulation would have been installed from the inside, against the exterior plywood, then sheetrock placed over it.

Great video very helpful but I have a question. Are you Jim Carrey’s biological father?
@@andresglez317 I wish, as Jim Carry has so much talent it falls out of his pockets when he walks, this must have inherited from parents who had talent beyond measurement of the average yardstick. 😉
Where can I purchase this type of lath that protrudes out a small amount from the wall? Thanks!
Evening David, this self-furred stucco netting is sold everywhere, you can get it at Home Depot, lowes, or google plastering yards near me.
I prefer the 17 gauge, but 18 gage is better for new guys as the holes are smaller. Thus the stucco adheres better.
Don't buy 20 gauge as this is for tile or chicken coops.

Kirk thanks a million!!! You are awesome and your videos are fantastic.
@@DavidJohn-gv6jy your welcome
I am in Houston Texas and no one has it locally and neither Home Depot nor lowes will ship to a local store even though it is on their websites. Any advice?

Dam Good !!!
Evening Alex, thank you
May you all have a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year.

Hi Kirk
What happens if you don’t overlap your wire 3 inches
Evening barry, the walls will crack like an egg in three months. 😏
I'm kidding brother, it's okay if you lap 1 inch, it's better if you overlap 2 inches, 3 inches is code, 4 inches is overkill and so on.
To pass a lath inspection it's best to overlap 3, a little more or less won't hurt.
