    A comment often asked with this video is about using bonding agents,
    Don’t dilute bonding agents such as Quikrete or Weld-Crete when applying basecoats or concrete.
    Remember, all bonding agents applied are only as good as the surface they’re applied to.
    For example, the bonding agent won’t be as effective if a surface is not clean enough to eat off.
    Does someone need a bonding agent for clean bricks, cement concrete, or blocks? No, but again it has to be clean, dust-free, and not painted.
    Note; No stucco wire is necessary. In fact, stucco netting is counterproductive.
    I’m giving some tips on resurfacing bricks with cement stucco in this video.
    Last tip, scratch coats are not necessary for any porous walls, including, as in this video, bricks, Cinder blocks, Cement Blocks, Terra Cotta walls, or any other cementitious substrate. Instead, fill to the correct thickness; if you need to apply more than one coat, do so.

      @StuccoPlastering  4 роки тому

      Good evening fix it, I'd stop doing that, if you waterproof the first coat you have sealed it, In order for the second coat to adhere it need to adhere by suction or what we call a mechanical bond, you need a porous first coat that you make moist with water to accept the second coat which is wet.
      If you waterproof the first coat, the second coat will not adhere forever unless you apply a bonding agent over the first coat as it's now sealed.

      Carlos my friend, ask and ye shall receive.
      When I started plastering many years ago, I wanted to be considered cool and not a wuss. So I didn't wear gloves for a few days.
      Goofy move, I couldn't open my fingers without the bleeding from the finger joints, plus they were like sandpaper, even too manly for me, as when I tried to sleep they keep sticking the covers, that was some annoying sh!t. Plus my wife at that time said, "baby, don't touch me with those sandpaper hands" ouch.💃
      I only had to learn that lesson once.
      I slept with vaseline on my hands in sandwich bags for a week, then they were as good as new.
      Did the lye enter my bloodstream transdermally?
      Who knows, I was happy to open my hands again without the pain, plus I was young and didn't don't worry about stuff like whats was in my bloodstream besides blood.🍻

      stucco and plaster both have Lye in it.
      Lye will burn, eat, disintegrate stuff, hands, and face are no problemo for Lye to beat or eat up.
      A story, I was about 20, and going to a party, was dressed up and excited, my piece of crap car wouldn't start, I used jumper cables when I tried to attach them to my car battery my battery exploded, it sent battery acid all over me, I thought, damn, now I have to wash my face and hair, as I was in a hurry.
      Did that fast, then stuck my friend's battery in my crap car.
      The next day, my shirt and pants had holes all over them.
      I thought to myself, man, good thing I took the time out to wash my face and hands, as I almost didn't.😉
      That's what Lye in stucco also does, Lye is no joke and takes no prisoners.🍻

Some of the buildings are 3 to 400 years old .Did you know that a lot of the castles and statley homes in the middle ages were white lime washed and plastered 100 percent outside and in, most , if not all of this render has washed off a long time ago now to reveal the stone.

    About the bounding agent Kirk. I do not have this product here in quebec, well creet or wall creet? Giroux and Maçonex (brick supplier here) sell an acrylic pretty pure called A-330 that I pour in my stucco mixture sometimes to give it more elasticity when I do the ruff coat or a repair patch. It is white and turns blue-purple when applied. I never do put it on my ruff surface like you do. But I guess I should. When I work on concrete, after having made sure the wall is saturated with water and in suction mode, I apply a mixture I make. Type 10 cement portland, acrylic A-330, and water, mixed with like thick paint. Respecting my suction mode on the wall, I apply my bounding mixture ( my help does) with a large brush and I start applying my first coat as soon as my bounding is also in suction mode. I have Never seen any entrepreneur here beside me doing this method I learned from my master plaster teacher deceased today.

      Howdy Michael dude, we have one product here called Sika latex fortifier it's used similarly to what you're doing, instead of mixing with water you add it the sika latex.
      however. I have not tried it.
      As a rule, I apply my bonding agents to clean surfaces, if I apply in the bonding agents sold here, the method of adding it to our stucco mix would dilute the bonding agent so that it would be renderered uselless.
      Best wishes my fellow plasterer in Quebec.

    Love your videos. I got a house from 1947, in which they used alot of sand from the beach when they made the concrete cellar. So alot of the stucco comes loose in big chunks now, with a kinda sandy walls underneath. Do I just remove the loose stucco and sand, and put new stucco on? Thanks.

      Good evening Stig, I would recommend that.
