Jay and I look at any stucco textures and/or finishes that match what's existing. In all my years of plastering, have I matched every finish on the money? Of course not, as no one can do that. I have recalled a few jobs where I struggled to match textures with Jayson, my son, who said, Dad, I can match that on the money with little effort, and sure enough, he has done so.
The moral of this story is to be experienced enough to match almost every texture imaginable as best as possible.

Been watching your videos so long I have dreams that I'm a plasterer. Hoping one day to have a hobby project that will let me try my hand at it but I'd bet it won't go as well as it does in my dreams.
Good morning, or it might go much better than in your dreams. But in reality you get a better workout with the satisfaction of knowing you did it yourself.
I come from a family business of painters. 3rd generation. I love and have been watching your videos for years. I plaster much more than average painter. My dad passed , year almost, he looked like Kirk douglas. The similarities and connection i feel watching your videos, technically and family wise, blows my mind. Happy and crying.
Appreciate your video's and family
Hello my fellow craftsman, wow, sorry for such a deep loss. Thank you for such a heartfelt and beautiful review. Best wishes to you and your family.
Always enjoy watching the work you do. Never gets old to me. Thank you!
You're welcome, applying stucco doesn't get old to me either.
wearing a nice white dress shirt!! what a show off!! ;o) .. After I stucco for 20mins its in my hair, eyes, shirts..etc.. lol.. awesome skill Kirk!! ... really nice work!!
We all go through that stage, been there done that too, but after awhile we find our hands cracked and burning or bleeding from the lye in stucco, we at that stage go to a thrift store and invest Two-bucks for white long sleeve shirts to protect our forearms neck etc, from the lye in stucco, man I can tell stories when I was young and tried to be cool by not wearing these shirts or even gloves. But the lye in the stucco taught me who was boss.
@StuccoPlastering that's what the seasons stucco guys tell me. I started doing stucco work on the side because the demand in southern fla is very strong... hoping my shoulders get use to it. I definitely wears on my arms and shoulders after more than 3 days in a row
Tricks of the trade my friend!
Thanks again for another good video!
Keep up the good work!
Morning peanut farmer, that's the fun part, showing the many different ways or methods to plastering. No trowel is too big or too small if you know how to use them.
Kirk the master! thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
Our pleasure, cheers
Man, i love your videos. Kirk, your voice is therapy, my friend. Long time subsriber here. Keep doing your thing.
Howdy Joe, man,I like your style, thank you.
Love you!
Morning Ken Konet, thank you brother.
You all make look so easy guys 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
I will see you on next one🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
We’ll be there, Cheers
Great video Kirk
Cool beans, glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you guys
No problemo, had fun doing this simple stuff.
Still going strong 💪🏼
Thank you, my friend.
Love you guys! Any old movies you want to review about Alabama Hills? I'd be interested.☺
I’d first have to watch this movie, I’ll keep it on the radar .
Awesome thanks 👍
No problem 👍
God bless
Thank you my friend.
Kirk’s the best!🙂
I read that on the lady's bathroom wall, now after all these years, I’m sorry I wrote it. 😉
You guys are true craftsmen!!! Beautiful work! I work in San Diego doing handyman and remodel work. I’m restoring some old 1930s windows 🪟 in mission hills this week. The stucco is failing and needs attention. Moisture problems, I believe, and cracking that has been neglected and not sealed. The Old paint is peeling off and the first layer of stucco crumbles off in some small areas. It’s a smooth stucco finish. I am going to use Image.
I’m curious, when you have chalking from areas where the previous paint job peels off, and small areas in the stucco that need to be repaired, do you use a bonding primer prior to coating with your stucco product? Something like a clear masonry primer or extreme bond primer?
Keep in mind, La Habra's image acrylic finish stucco, can only be applied ppaper thin or it spider cracks. I only use it if absolutely necessary as I don't care for it. Any chalking from old stucco should be pressure washed clean as nothing sticks to a dusty surface, except spider webs.
Lastly, I use Larson's Weldcrete or Quikrete as the stucco bonding agent.
Quikrete is easier to find for home owners as it's sold everywhere, Weld-Crete is only sold at plastering yards.
Appreciate the reply! I have had success with the quickcrete bonding agent for patchwork. Is there any other product for smooth stucco finish? I guess I could build up the repair with rapid set and top coat with image. Thoughts on that?
@@dannyblessent8459 yes there is but not an acrylic, it’s cementitious, but I prefer it. It’s Santa Barbara Smooth Mission Finish, made by La Habra. Or Marble made by BMI.
How would you recommend cleaning a prepped hairline crack? I don’t want to shoot water into the stucco if I can avoid it. Maybe it’s not a big deal. A lot of those products are special order. Do you know any smooth stucco finish that may be more available? I’m fixing some loose stucco and some cracking on a smooth stucco finish wall. Love your videos Kirk!! Thanks for any tips!
@@dannyblessent8459 Hi Danny, I'd recommend the Santa Barbara Smooth mission finish for the finest sand available or the acrylic Image, also from La Habra.
The SHIRT!!!
Morning Chris, the shirt stays clean, how in the heck is that possible?
Kirk rules !!!!!!!
lol, thank you
Why didn’t you use your normal pink bonding agent on the edges and the bottom edge part of the wall ?
Brisbane,Australia 🤓
The pink is for interiors the blue is for exteriors.
Hey Kirk! Off question but have you ever completed a pebble dash finish? With pebble rocks? Is that in the realm of stucco or something else? I don't think I've seen a video where you used Pebbles.
Thank you!
My pebble dash finish with no s seashells or pretty aggregate like abalone shells or glass.
ruclips.net/video/gLPrQ4EsGS4/видео.html/
My buddy Keth, who is a UK plasterer, Keith knows pebble dash finishes like no other.
ruclips.net/video/AbYg2jmF8tk/видео.html/. I rarely see these sea-shelled finishes in our area.
Thus, I have never done them.
Should I water after I put color code ? I put bonding agent on and placed color code to smooth a wall … I listen to you and placed 16/20 over heavy knock down … I’m afraid that it drys to fast … it’s a porch wall under a roof not really much sun about 80 degrees here in Arizona… should I water mist it ? To keep it from drying to fast ???
You only hydrate the base coat, if you hydrate a color coat it will discolor like pouring clorox on bluejeans.
Instead before you apply a color coat, you soak or hydrate the base-coat walls. This allows the color finish to adhere permanently. There are lots of rules to cover here, type in hydrating stucco walls for more information.
Kirk,
Can we use Stucco-Flex with Ekoplast 50? Would that make the Ekoplast more elastomeric and slightly less brittle?
Howdy, Stucco-Flex is an acrylic finish.
Ekoplast-50 is a lime basecoat.
You can apply stucco flex on top of the basecoat, but I would not mix the two together. FYI, Ekoplaste is not brittle; in fact, it's really strong.
@@StuccoPlastering Thanks, Obi-Wan! Might have a friend hit ya up soon for an estimate.
@@MadLadsAnonymous cool beans, daddieo. We’re not going anywhere.
I only really remember Debra Winger in that movie Kirk.
She was a hottie, I remember "the thug," the young actor named Nicholas Nolte, now in his eighties. The book says the young kid, "Mac," played by Nikalas, asks the Chinese store owner to rent his garage; the Chinese merchant says no. Mac says, don't you want someone to guard it in case it catches fire? Suggesting in a way if he doesn't let him move in, he'll burn it down. The merchant says, Okay, five dollars a month, Mac says three. They both realize the merchant will never get paid, but that it won't catch fire either.
You can't rent much these days for three bucks a month.😉
He's talking like Gerald Celente so I guess he's from New York!
Actually, I grew up in Oakland ca. the ghetto part, unfortunately.
Come on Netflix make a show about the plaster master!
Exzachary,
Guys... it doesn’t matter which trowel size you have! You’ll not be able to just do it like that. The master does it because yeah... he’s the master! I know how too am I’m dang good at it but there’s levels🤛🏽👍🏽🙏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Howdy Dowell, man , I sho-nuff like your style. Than you.
I fucken love this guy mane 😂
Morning, thank you brother.
Cannery Row....John Stinebeck wrote the story....Gavin Newsome made it REAL!
I liked the book better, as Mac played by a young Nicholas Nolte his buddies adventures reminded me of growing up.😉
Hey Kirk thanks for another great video. I've watched a lot of your videos by now since I have a an old 1920s stucco home. Can you give me some advice on an issue I'm having? I just discovered I had a leaking window and it has caused some wood to rot at the lower corner area of the window. Parts of the stud and window framing have rotted out, but I can replace that from the inside.
The problem is that there's a 6 inch x 6 inch area of sheathing that also rotted and the paper damaged. Do you think I should fix this(from the exterior) or can I get away with not fixing it? I plan on replacing the windows and repainting the walls to fix any leaks as you've advised in other videos. Appreciate any help!
That problem can only be repaired from the outside for too many reasons to list here.
Here is a question as you asked: I have a stucco house with layers of stucco, synthetic mesh, then closed cell styrofoam, then some sort of black drywall like boards (not as hard as drywall) I want to be able to attach with a fastener like water downspout strap, or a small address number plate, or exterior conduit (all light weight like 2 lbs max). What is the best way to anchor into this as I dont feel screwing into that gypsum like board about 2" into the system would be a good alternative? Thanks and your helpful videos have been used to keep my house looking good.
You’re referring to the Dry-Vit stucco system. You have little choice the first inch or two is styrofoam. The screws need to hit something solid to hold tight, screws at least two and a half inches are your only choice.
Nice work!
Now your being nice, thank you
Excellent tradesmen how do you keep your shirt so clean
Practice and knowledge, the fact is if or when the stucco gets on my shirt it drys, then when I move the dry lye and silica become air born, then inhaled by me. These are the negative problems of applying stucco that few realize.
History repeats it's self. It feels like we our on the way back to cannery row. All because of greed.
Exzachary, by the way it cost a nickel a night to pay to sleep in the concrete tubes in the book Cannery row which was located in Monterey. It's bit more expensive these days.
How does he keepa clean shirt 😮😮😮
@@pkrent3461 That’s super easy, the lye in stucco burns the hell out of one’s skin, then absorbs transdermaly, where it can finish partying in one’s blood. That’s just a fact I don’t talk much about when doing videos, can’t go scaring folks.😉
Kirk, you ever use Thermocromex?
No, but I've heard about Thermocromex. It's real lime plaster from the UK. We have very limited access to high-end lime systems in California.
Great Craftsmanship
Good morning Joe, thank you, it's just Another day at the office for us.
🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Hammer Down Dude, thank you.
Great vid. Did get divorced?
TMI, I was married once 40 years ago, to a super hottie named Peggie, Jason's, madeleine and Dan's mom. We were young and crazy.
Thus it lasted about 20 years. I am engaged at this time to a wonderful lady.
U r awesome 😎
LOL, I wouldn't go that far but thank you.
Top job Kirk! 👍🇮🇪
Thank you, my friend
Hey Kirk,
Would you recommend painting stucco?
IT seems as though there is floating YT information of painting stucco as having many negatives?
To paint or not to paint, that is the question. Your home your rules. There are no negative circumstances unless you have a maintenance free color coat, then painting would now mean maintenance every 7 to 10 years.
@@StuccoPlastering
Thank you.
I live in a Hot Humid climate and like the idea of white stucco home.
White color coat would be the Choice for Longevity?
@@vi683a White is an excellent choice for the extreme heat, although one needs to wear sunglasses while in your own yard sometimes from the glare of the walls off the bright sunshine.
@@StuccoPlastering Good point, it is very bright here.
I will tone it down appropriately...thanks for the insight.
Would love to see you do a series of episodes showing how a complete beginner can have a go. from correct mixture ratios, lathe, and how to correct a technique to apply the stucco itself.
Thanks for all these great videos over the years, your finish work is amazing.
Thank you for the kind words; with almost a thousand videos in the last 15 years, we have covered every aspect of plastering and stucco known to man. Cheers.
LOVE
Thank you.
Good stuff Kirk, thank you for the demonstration!
No problem 👍
Another great video love watching them
Glad you like them, we enjoy creating them.
I'll see you on the next one.
Cool beans, Daddieo.
By looking at those gas lines, they are going to have some real problems getting the meters to fit. I t will not be a good day.
I’m just the guy they hired to do the stucco.
@@StuccoPlastering I know that, just my observation of the job.
@@Moondoggy1941 you my friend must install gas meters?
@@StuccoPlastering I was the inspector and installer.
@@Moondoggy1941 then you know what your talking about, me I’m just an applicator
