After watched many of your plastering technique, I tried to plastering my broken wall ..and I was dying ..I felt so much pain on my body for 2 weeks straight lol So appreciate people who do this job 😄
Good morning Inke Maris, this is perfectly normal. FYI, when anyone starts to apply cement plaster at first, there are muscles in your forearm, wrist, deltoid, and shoulders that you more than likely didn’t know existed. These muscles are rarely used in everyday living. Thus they will feel like they are on fire or swell up when you start to apply plaster, no worries, this is an excellent sign of unused and still weak muscles, not damaged muscles. Your wrist, forearms or shoulders will burn, but that's o.k., simply do something else constructive on your project, mix mud, clean up, anything that will give these used muscled a short break. Then when the soreness begins to go away, begin again slowly. For the average person, it takes a week or two to get those unused muscles strong enough to move mud where you want it. BTW, if you fall off a bike and hurt your leg, that's a bad pain or soreness, to strengthen muscles you didn’t know you had, this effort creates a beautiful soreness, this is my personal opinion.

When i was an apprentice all plastereres wore whites..and they came to work wearing street clothes...then put on their whites....nowadays they wear whatever they crawled out of bed....sad

Kirk, I've watched so many of your videos I figured it was time I'd thank you for the great job you do at explaining everything down to the simple stuff. I've paid countless times to have stucco work done, which I've watch take place, but it wasn't until I started watching your videos that I decided to give it a try myself and surprisingly enough, the work I've done has come out better than expected. Many thanks from South Florida!!

Good Evening Adrian dude, the white long sleeve shirt is a habit from when I used to work behind a Tommy gun, or what's known as a plaster pump. Any area not completely covered ended up covered in stucco. The lye in stucco burns the skin like acid. Old habits die hard. I also had a bandana coving the head and a hat with thick glass and knee-high boots taped to our pants.

Ive been getting more into plaster work lately. I learned a few lessons from a friend that does plaster, watching you has helped a lot with understanding. I still have a lot of questions but I suppose we learn what we lear as we go. Im a painting contractor that also does drywall and skimcoats for 30 years. Two years ago I started learning more about plaster and i just want to say not many people are good teachers and in the plaster community in Connecticut, they dont share their trade secrets. So thank you for being a great teacher and for making so many videos!
Morning Blues Dude, there's few trade secrets, it's all common sense mixed with practice of applications. One remembers how, when they have to guarantee their work. Best wishes, You and other can count on us for sound advice with all one thousand videos👨🏻🔬
Morning Jordan Hanson, thank you, positive attitude, huh? maybe is because i'm one of the geeky dudes that feels applying plaster is really cool plus plastering brings on a real sense of pride and pleasure during and after the task. I reason it's caused by the deeper breathing with the applications of any physical work which forces extra oxygen thereby creating more endorphins and serotonin which brings on a sense of pleasure and relief from any mental or physical pain from life's normal and necessary realities. Cheers! Kirk Giordano

Don't forget rubber gloves if you use lime in your mix. You don't want chemical burns. Lime allows some flexibility to avoid cracking. I don't mind a bit of rendering, but I mainly do indoor drylining these days. Plastering, tape & jointing etc.

@@StuccoPlastering I'm a qualified plasterer & dry liner myself. Even joint filler will pull all the moisture out of your hands. Keep them gloves on & your tools spotless! Even the handles. I can't stand seeing guys on site with dirty baked on tools. You get an idea of what their attitude towards their work is all about.
Howdy Sloane my fellow plasterer, the fact is stucco and or concrete both have lye in them, lye is mean to our skin or anything else it gets in contact with.🤔 When I first got into this trade, I tried to be cool and not wear gloves. It took less than a week for my fingers on both hands at all the joints to start bleeding and hurt like hell. It got so bad I couldn’t open my hands, let alone use them.😏 I had to apply vaseline to them at night and put them in sandwich bags with rubber bands so that the vaseline wouldn’t get on the beddings. After about 4 days, the pealing of the flesh stopped. I’ve been wearing gloves ever since.👍 This is also the reason why I wear long sleeve shirts. A couple of weeks ago, I went to work in some decent tennis shoes, at the end of the day, I lost both soles as they lye ate the glue or adhesive. About a week ago, I wore my favorites hiking boots. Timberland brown boots as I thought I was just going to lath, I ended up deciding to apply the stucco too as we had the time, not wanting to beat up the comfortable hiking boots, I used red tape so they would get stucco on them. As I was using a water bucket, the dammed water with stucco got in between the red tape on my boots somehow. I lost the sole on one, and I know better. On average, some of the best work boots last about 4 months with me before that get eaten up from the lye.😉 When I was hod caring back 35 for more years ago, I remember the older hod carries used to pour transmission fluid all over their arms in the mornings to protect them from the lye. I remember once asking one of the hoodies, dude, you ever hear of transdermal? He laughed and called me a pussy or wuss, so I just watched a few guys do this stuff. Today, a couple of these guys twitch like they are being shocked, and a few have lost their fingernails. 🤷 The moral to this history, It’s nothing personal. Lye is not friendly to get onto your flesh, let alone inhale it as your mixing, so don’t do that.

@Thomas Anslow If you have any pride in your work, you'll keep the whole thing clean. If that's your attitude to your own tools, then its probably the same as it is towards a customer's carpet. Bet your van is a mobile ghetto aswell. Pull your socks up boy!
With anything it’s not the size or weight of a person it’s the coordination, both my daughters can out plaster most men, they simply have hand eye coordination. You may also, can you do things, like juggling, playing the drums, things like this develop coordination. One doesn’t know until she try’s. 💃

Here in Florida we have to do it different because of the high humidity. Here you have to let your scratch coat dry over night. Reason is it hardens but the water will move into your finish coat causing it to sag regardless how thin it is. We also held back about an inch from the very top and feathered it down on the scartch coat. Two reasons, one it reduces clean up, and reduces chances of the grey coat showing thru color coat. We never used a slicker, or as you call it a cheater. You want work less harder you put it on strait and trowel mark free. I no longer do this work because it didnt pay enough for the destruction of my body, cloths, and vehicles.

Good afternoon Band Silver, my fellow UK plastering brother. You and I know no one can master the tools within a few weeks, plus mastering materials does take 10 to 15 years.

Good evening CH, the white cement was a finish coat of LaHabra called fine finish. The base coat was 100, which means the color is white with the finest sand. My responsibility was to create a texture that looked like taping mud. Taping mud has no sand, so I went with Santa Barbara, which is the finest sand sold or 30/30 grit.

After watched many of your plastering technique, I tried to plastering my broken wall ..and I was dying ..I felt so much pain on my body for 2 weeks straight lol
So appreciate people who do this job 😄
Good morning Inke Maris, this is perfectly normal. FYI, when anyone starts to apply cement plaster at first, there are muscles in your forearm, wrist, deltoid, and shoulders that you more than likely didn’t know existed.
These muscles are rarely used in everyday living.
Thus they will feel like they are on fire or swell up when you start to apply plaster, no worries, this is an excellent sign of unused and still weak muscles, not damaged muscles.
Your wrist, forearms or shoulders will burn, but that's o.k., simply do something else constructive on your project, mix mud, clean up, anything that will give these used muscled a short break.
Then when the soreness begins to go away, begin again slowly.
For the average person, it takes a week or two to get those unused muscles strong enough to move mud where you want it.
BTW, if you fall off a bike and hurt your leg, that's a bad pain or soreness, to strengthen muscles you didn’t know you had, this effort creates a beautiful soreness, this is my personal opinion. The complete plastering encyclopedia on video, by the plastering messengers of RUclips.

I've paid countless times to have stucco work done, which I've watch take place, but it wasn't until I started watching your videos that I decided to give it a try myself and surprisingly enough, the work I've done has come out better than expected. Many thanks from South Florida!!

Well done sir.
His shirt is actually blue...lol
Good Evening Adrian dude, the white long sleeve shirt is a habit from when I used to work behind a Tommy gun, or what's known as a plaster pump.
Any area not completely covered ended up covered in stucco.
The lye in stucco burns the skin like acid. Old habits die hard.
I also had a bandana coving the head and a hat with thick glass and knee-high boots taped to our pants.
At break time we'd remove the glasses, we all looked like raccoons.🤔

Ive been getting more into plaster work lately. I learned a few lessons from a friend that does plaster, watching you has helped a lot with understanding. I still have a lot of questions but I suppose we learn what we lear as we go. Im a painting contractor that also does drywall and skimcoats for 30 years. Two years ago I started learning more about plaster and i just want to say not many people are good teachers and in the plaster community in Connecticut, they dont share their trade secrets. So thank you for being a great teacher and for making so many videos!
Morning Blues Dude, there's few trade secrets, it's all common sense mixed with practice of applications. One remembers how, when they have to guarantee their work.
Best wishes,
You and other can count on us for sound advice with all one thousand videos👨🏻🔬
Most positive attitude contractor I've ever seen. You make stucco work look fun.
Morning Jordan Hanson, thank you, positive attitude, huh?
maybe is because i'm one of the geeky dudes that feels applying plaster is really cool plus plastering brings on a real sense of pride and pleasure during and after the task. I reason it's caused by the deeper breathing with the applications of any physical work which forces extra oxygen thereby creating more endorphins and serotonin which brings on a sense of pleasure and relief from any mental or physical pain from life's normal and necessary realities. Cheers! Kirk Giordano
I don't know what it is but you sure seem like a cool dude and a hard worker

@@StuccoPlastering No problem, brother. Keep chugging along with the honest work, my man!
Don't forget rubber gloves if you use lime in your mix. You don't want chemical burns. Lime allows some flexibility to avoid cracking. I don't mind a bit of rendering, but I mainly do indoor drylining these days. Plastering, tape & jointing etc.
Howdy Sloane, no doubt, I buy gloves by the hundreds. got to keep my knuckles free from bleeding.

By the plastering messengers of RUclips. With well over 850 free self-help videos 🎭 👀💃
@@StuccoPlastering I'm a qualified plasterer & dry liner myself. Even joint filler will pull all the moisture out of your hands. Keep them gloves on & your tools spotless! Even the handles. I can't stand seeing guys on site with dirty baked on tools. You get an idea of what their attitude towards their work is all about.
Howdy Sloane my fellow plasterer, the fact is stucco and or concrete both have lye in them, lye is mean to our skin or anything else it gets in contact with.🤔 When I first got into this trade, I tried to be cool and not wear gloves. It took less than a week for my fingers on both hands at all the joints to start bleeding and hurt like hell. It got so bad I couldn’t open my hands, let alone use them.😏
I had to apply vaseline to them at night and put them in sandwich bags with rubber bands so that the vaseline wouldn’t get on the beddings. After about 4 days, the pealing of the flesh stopped. I’ve been wearing gloves ever since.👍
This is also the reason why I wear long sleeve shirts. A couple of weeks ago, I went to work in some decent tennis shoes, at the end of the day, I lost both soles as they lye ate the glue or adhesive.
About a week ago, I wore my favorites hiking boots.
Timberland brown boots as I thought I was just going to lath, I ended up deciding to apply the stucco too as we had the time, not wanting to beat up the comfortable hiking boots, I used red tape so they would get stucco on them.
As I was using a water bucket, the dammed water with stucco got in between the red tape on my boots somehow. I lost the sole on one, and I know better.
On average, some of the best work boots last about 4 months with me before that get eaten up from the lye.😉
When I was hod caring back 35 for more years ago, I remember the older hod carries used to pour transmission fluid all over their arms in the mornings to protect them from the lye. I remember once asking one of the hoodies, dude, you ever hear of transdermal?
He laughed and called me a pussy or wuss, so I just watched a few guys do this stuff. Today, a couple of these guys twitch like they are being shocked, and a few have lost their fingernails. 🤷
The moral to this history, It’s nothing personal. Lye is not friendly to get onto your flesh, let alone inhale it as your mixing, so don’t do that.

With anything it’s not the size or weight of a person it’s the coordination, both my daughters can out plaster most men, they simply have hand eye coordination. You may also, can you do things, like juggling, playing the drums, things like this develop coordination. One doesn’t know until she try’s. 💃

@@StuccoPlastering That's 100% true! Napoleon is in my lineage, so it must have been sent down the line. I'm a strong faith walker. ;)
Here in Florida we have to do it different because of the high humidity. Here you have to let your scratch coat dry over night. Reason is it hardens but the water will move into your finish coat causing it to sag regardless how thin it is. We also held back about an inch from the very top and feathered it down on the scartch coat. Two reasons, one it reduces clean up, and reduces chances of the grey coat showing thru color coat. We never used a slicker, or as you call it a cheater. You want work less harder you put it on strait and trowel mark free. I no longer do this work because it didnt pay enough for the destruction of my body, cloths, and vehicles.
200/day is not enough..?
@@mannycuete7392 I was plastering in the late 70s into the early 80s. I made 35 dollars after 5 years on the job. I took automotive mechanic school and left plastering for 75 a day and have never regretted it. I don't believe anyone pays 200 a day now in Florida. A right to work low wage shit hole.

Good afternoon Band Silver, my fellow UK plastering brother.
You and I know no one can master the tools within a few weeks, plus mastering materials does take 10 to 15 years.
Unfortunately, folks have to start somewhere, and if there's little to no opportunity, they can't wait for thier ship to come it, they like myself must swim half way to meet it.
Especially, if they like me when I was 20 had kids and a wife and no way to put food on the table.
Getting caught stealing is no way to place food on a table or to show your wife and kids you love them, plus it's depressing sitting in a cell thinking, what if.....
Thus, I'm no one's judge with whatever training one gets and how they choose to use it.

If you have an interior or exterior wall such as this one buy the best primer and paint on the market.

Howdy Matt, stucco is like concrete; it holds up the the desert hets as well as in the north pole.😉
You performed your job in very neat and clean way in quite shorter time. welldone guy. which material you used for making white texture? is it white cement or something else??
Good evening CH, the white cement was a finish coat of LaHabra called fine finish. The base coat was 100, which means the color is white with the finest sand.
My responsibility was to create a texture that looked like taping mud. Taping mud has no sand, so I went with Santa Barbara, which is the finest sand sold or 30/30 grit.

Left to right skimming, working away from finish already applied,

Kirk;
I have been plastering for quite a while but we do very little stucco work here in PA. I did some Structo Lite the other day and was surprised that they are now 50# bags. Pretty nice for old guys like me. We did mostly hard coat but I am also a brick mason so we try to stay busy as possible.
I love the videos you are a true Master Plasterer and believe me-they are getting very rare these days.
Thank you again for all of the great videos you and Jason do-Thom
Hi Thom Miller, you must also remember when they weighed 80 pounds in the good ol days, back then they were a lot lighter than these 50 pound bags or I'm getting older too,

Great video and I hardly ever say that ! We are fixing to build a cinder block house and I have seen instead of Mortor in the joints they dry stack them then cement plaster them and fill with rebar and pour cement in them and say they are much strong I think that is the way we are going to go because here in the south we have a lot of tornado and hurricanes . I'm not a rich man just a pour boy and gonna try an build it all are selfs I have built a shop on my property and furniture , was a mechanic for 20 years and then boat restoration I love learning something new everyday ! I tell my kids to never stop learning fill your mind because you never know when you will need it ! Thanks

This is a new installation, interior? My exterior stucco doesn’t even have anything to adhere to like you have……You’re the best!❤ Thank You.

@@StuccoPlastering nothing to be jealous of, and like Ricardo said, here in the Netherlands you will be sent home immediately. I also see no spirit level or a slope of 1.80 meters to make it flat. and not to mention the mess on the ground🤣🤣
Greetings Tiesse, that's what the paper is on the ground for. You have a lot in common with Van, could be jealousy issues in the Netherlands run amock.
Cheers me friends
Another day at the office for us stucco dudes
Ricardo Van veen dude chill he matching existing texture. Only reason you would be sent home is cause you not boss. Mr. Giordano is the truth. So yes you in the Netherlands can go home ✌️
Add some clay to that mix, looks pretty sandy and watery
Mo45ning Landon, whether the mud is soupy or stiff, I apply it. One just has to know where, how and why.

If that isn't hard work, then I don't know what is.
LOL, Deed Rabbit, it's like walking only instaed of one step at a time, its one hawk full at a time, one won't even break a sweat doing this.🍾
Watching this craftsman working applying mud to the wall is all skill and techniques learned from years of experience. He make it look easy. But, it is a lot of work and technique to do it right.

Kirk and Jason Giordano’s sound plastering advice
Hey Gaz, could you please have your dog show us how it's done make some videos? Or maybe post some links to your work? Or maybe you just sit in your grandma's living room all day posting ignorant stuff because no one went to prom with you so you had to bring your cousin Jon who you dressed like a girl because your sexuality was more confusing then getting a job.
I am a plasterer with 10 years experience and most of my family are plasterers. When you are floating a wall you are suppose to start off from the same side you write with not opposite. You will drop less doing plastering this way. The only time you plaster to the opposite side you write with is when your skimming. And i also find it funny how he is using a rounded trowel (for floor screeding) this guy isn't a proper plasterer not only this your scratch coat isn't suppose to be straight lines they are supposed to be a wave...... POOR VIDIO DON'T PLASTER LIKE THIS IF YOU DO YOUR PLASTER WILL FALL OFF!!!!!!
He's been doing this for 30 years....are you serious...wavy lines? GTFOH!! LMAO!!
Greetings Rick, thank you my friend, often I need a good laugh, this comment did indeed make me smile.😉

You're right and sometime you run any plasterer got his own system
@@FSAUDIOGUY Yes when you are floating a wall a scratch coat is applied followed by second floating coat. On your scratch coat you scratch wavey lines for a undercut and overcut this will provide key for the second floating coat. You may agree or disagree with me but I can say yes I do have 10 years experience and I am level 4 qualified which is the highest qualification in plastering. Whilst my dad and uncles are plasterers too together we have (OVER) 30 years of experience and all city and guild qualified,we where all taught the same way of plastering and at the age of 28yrs I am running my own plastering business.

Man that hard work deserves a big pay cheque. Nice video and a well done plaster
Hi Roy Gonzalves, thank you, and man, I couldn't agree more.
But the fact is we take whatever is out there, sometimes we make good cash other times it just pays for groceries, plus it always gives us a workout without going to a gym.
Rather be working for little cash than sitting around doing something close to nothing.
