This stupid construction company ended up being a con artist. The workers did an awful job with stucco repair and dumped mortar down the storm drains, then started asking for extra money. I have decided to redo the stucco myself. I just bought a rotary hammer, trowel, float, and mixing attachment for the rotohammer to patch it myself, and your videos seem pretty helpful! I don't have any experience patching stucco, my only experience with masonry is concrete to hold a post. I have demolished stucco before to fix pipes but someone else did the patching. Anyways, thanks for the cool video.

Howdy Pancho Dude, sorry for the late reply, but often some question and comments are missed. Sound like it was lathed wrong or the cracks are 5 to 15 years old.

I've seen some of your video's with this process but the stucco doesn't look that thick, or I haven't found the right video yet, and also the front of my house has siding that isn't in the best of shape so I was gonna either replace the bad sections or stucco it, I prefer to stucco it with smooth finish, now I can just put paper and wire (lathing) over the siding, is that correct? I'm in Victorville, southern California, Thanks very much appreciated-Loretta
Ew. Good thing I clicked on this one. I had NO IDEA the chicken wire needed to be RAISED away from the paper!! Good to know. Hey Kirk. Im having the hardest time finding something in your vidoes. its about incorporating new paper into old. I understand that on the top, the new paper slides UNDERNEATH the old, and that on the bottom, the new paper OVERLAPS and lays ON TOP of the old, BUT WHAT THE HAIL am I supposed to do with the sides!! I have the opportunity to use two large pieces of paper to close up this old window opening. But Im so confused on what to do with the paper at the sides. PLUS, do I slice the old or the new to allow for the new to slide under or over, on the side. THANKS BUD and WAITING FOR YOUR RESPONSE

Thank you foe your videos. Questions: 1) My contractor only installed one layer of paper that came already prearranged to the wire. Our walls don’t have plywood, we have wood studs. Is this correct. 2) I got a small roll 3’ or so style of paper for insulation barrier at the bottom all around. 3) I am in San Diego, what is the dry time between scratch and brown coats? Is this correct?

Kirk always something new to learn from your videos! For installing the stucco wire, will a 1/4 in. 18-Gauge Crown Stapler work? Any specific staple size?
What’s the maximum amount of time between scratch, brown and finish coats? I’m on a tight budget and will have to space each step as long as I can so I can save up for each step Thank you for the videos
Howdy Ofelia, when a scratch coat is applied you can wait a minimum of 48 hours to apply the next coat or ten years if you want, without compromising the integrity of the first coat. 🥂
Kirk I watch all of your videos and enjoy your presentations. One comment, chemical bond is the proper term for the two surfaces bonding, mechanical bonding is using screws, nails or bolts, etcetera.
A chemical bonding is. where you paint on a bonding agent over a painted cleaned surface, then apply more stucco. A mechanical bond is when you apply a second coat over a scratch coat that has not been painted.

Hi carlos, yes you can but still have to lath them this way. you ever try to attach paper to cement boards? It can't be done without destroying the hammer tacker and the boards. sorry, brother.
Howdy DJ dude, you are correctomundo; just don't nail or staple it too flat. Leave a small gap for the stucco to get behind it. Or another way of saying, place the bent corner aid in the center of the stucco.🥳
I am in australia , we do not have any paper like this , can i use breathable house wrap ? Which for america would be similar to your tyvek ? , or could i paint the ply with a special type of paint ?
@@StuccoPlastering thanks so much kirk your videos are amazing , I will post up a picture of the finished wall when i complete it , stucco is certainly not a thing in Australia like it seems to be in usa , here it is all rendered brick veneer for timber stud houses or blue board and texture coat where its single stud
@@PavelOsetskiyElectrician31 howdy Pavel, no steam will come out this wall. It has two layers of water resistant paper and will also have 1 inch of stucco. Plus be primed and painted. Not to mention inside will have Sheetrock insulation, with the inner walls painted. This wall will be sealed.
Kirk, I have a time sensitive question but first thanks to your videos and your kind and informative email help I'm onto my next mega stucco repair. I'm a 50 year old female artist sculptor and over my life have renovated 7 homes, (most built 60ies to 70ies), and I owned a kitchen and bath design business eons ago. My currents project is 20' x 5'. I made a very rookie mistake and ran out of stucco half way across the wall at 6pm, working under flood lights. I am wondering if I should give it til tomorrow or carry on today. There's no sheer plywood or weep (built 1968), so the stucco is basically the structure...
Good morning Melanie, this is not a big deal. Simply start off where you left off. 😉 Heres, the idea, if you're going to paint this wall, your tie-in should be tight. To on the money, or you may see this cold joint when painted. Happens to the best of us.😉 If your planning on applying a color coat maintenance-free finish, simply apply a bonding agent over the complete wall with the cold joint. Thus you won't get ghosting or notice where you stopped and restarted the next day. Apply the bonding agent with a roller, and it does not have to be pretty. Its sole purpose is to give the wall the same suction, thus no cold joint.

@@StuccoPlastering thank you so much Kirk, you are a total godsend. By the way. Could you make a video just on how to use your affiliate program. Any tool I buy I'd like to make sure you get a piece of it.
@@StuccoPlastering yes im painting in a month after its cured. I did do bonding agent about 12" all around. There's no tie in because all the wire was rusted. I've fastened the edges of the new wire with 16penny nails bent over (facing up as mentioned in one of your videos. ) . Ill put the bonding agent on the seam about 12" so I can feather in and get a tight bond on my scratch coat. Even with paint fir my third coat should I use the bonding between scratch and brown.
Good morning Melanie, if your painting the wall, you don't need a bonding agent. You use a primer and paint instead. When a person stops plastering in the middle of a wall and begins another time, what can happen is when the two are joined unless it's a sand finish, you may notice excess sand on the existing wall.😉No doubt if this happens, you will be the only one to notice it.🤔 Here's a video that might show you what I'm referring to.

Evening my friend, Stucco provides thermal insulation against hot weather, keeping a home cool in the summer, especially if the exterior is a light color. Stucco insulates against outside noises, making the inside of your home noticeably quieter than with exterior siding. Stucco strengthens a home, providing additional structural rigidity. This is because a stucco building is permanently encased in an envelope of wire and cement. If you don't like the look of acrylic stucco or. Even cementitious stucco (a matter of personal taste), wood siding, or cement board siding are better choices than aluminum or plastic. However, none of these sidings will last as long or be as maintenance-free stucco. KGP

Evening Jose, that's easy. The designations of 30 Minutes and 60 Minutes building and what it means. These designations refer to a moisture resistance test that uses a moisture-sensitive dye as an indicator. Do you realize what this means? Me neither. I'm an applicator, not an engineer. Code says to use 60 minutes of two-ply paper. We use two ply 60-minute paper.
Good evening Mark, I use a Senco gun with inch and a half staples. The leg of the staple has to be embedded in the stud seven-eighths of an inch. also, you have to consider the plywood thus 1 inch and seven-eighths are necessary.😉 Our unique plastering Tip: all subscribers or anyone who stumbles on our channel with a question, type it into our Stucco/Plastering channel, and like magic, a video will appear to explain how it's done.

Here’s wishing you and yours a happy new year.
From the entire plastering Giordano Family
Kirk always something new to learn from your videos! For installing the stucco wire, will a 1/4 in. 18-Gauge Crown Stapler work? Any specific staple size?
Hello, for codes a 1 inch crown is advisable.
The length should be an inch and a quarter.
Could I use a 7/16"x 1 1/2" stapler for attaching the lathe?
catching up on soooo much of your channel
Evening Thor, dude. There are at least 900 video's enough o keep most busy.😉

Can I use any other paper like news paper the one u use is not in in market my country
What’s the maximum amount of time between scratch, brown and finish coats? I’m on a tight budget and will have to space each step as long as I can so I can save up for each step
Thank you for the videos
Howdy Ofelia, when a scratch coat is applied you can wait a minimum of 48 hours to apply the next coat or ten years if you want, without compromising the integrity of the first coat. 🥂
Kirk I watch all of your videos and enjoy your presentations. One comment, chemical bond is the proper term for the two surfaces bonding, mechanical bonding is using screws, nails or bolts, etcetera.
A chemical bonding is. where you paint on a bonding agent over a painted cleaned surface, then apply more stucco.
A mechanical bond is when you apply a second coat over a scratch coat that has not been painted.
Correctamundo, you have learned well, Obewonkanobi. Cheers
Just watching this drunk eating jack in the box after a night at the bar.
Good morning BlooBay dude, no crime there, I've been known to go there myself for their taco's not sure what they're made of, but sho-nuff taste good.

@@StuccoPlastering after sleeping it off I realize my comment was pretty pointless. My job requires me to do stucco patches now after electrical service upgrades and that’s how I found your channel. You’ve made me extremely confident in my stucco work now. Thanks man and have a great day!
Good evening Bloo, no worries, besides, I'm the king at talking about a whole bunch of stuff that doesn't amount to nothing.😉

hi. Kindly explain why you need to follow the studs?
Is it not possible to staple at any point, because of the sheathing.
better to get into the studs. the stucco is heavy.
Hey Gio I’m building a shed in florida, could i use cement boards instead of plywood and plaster them? Thanks
Hi carlos, yes you can but still have to lath them this way. you ever try to attach paper to cement boards?
It can't be done without destroying the hammer tacker and the boards. sorry, brother.
For a small space around a sliding glass door and I take metal corner bead designed for stucco and bend it flat and use it as my lath?
Howdy DJ dude, you are correctomundo; just don't nail or staple it too flat. Leave a small gap for the stucco to get behind it. Or another way of saying, place the bent corner aid in the center of the stucco.🥳
I am in australia , we do not have any paper like this , can i use breathable house wrap ? Which for america would be similar to your tyvek ? , or could i paint the ply with a special type of paint ?
Howdy my friend, here in the USA, two layers are code for waterproofing stucco. Weather those two layers are 60 minute or tyvek is okay.
@@StuccoPlastering thanks so much kirk your videos are amazing , I will post up a picture of the finished wall when i complete it , stucco is certainly not a thing in Australia like it seems to be in usa , here it is all rendered brick veneer for timber stud houses or blue board and texture coat where its single stud
Please tell me how the steam coming out of the wall through this bitumen paper will behave, will there be any problems with steam removal?
@@PavelOsetskiyElectrician31 howdy Pavel, no steam will come out this wall. It has two layers of water resistant paper and will also have 1 inch of stucco. Plus be primed and painted. Not to mention inside will have Sheetrock insulation, with the inner walls painted. This wall will be sealed.
Kirk, I have a time sensitive question but first thanks to your videos and your kind and informative email help I'm onto my next mega stucco repair. I'm a 50 year old female artist sculptor and over my life have renovated 7 homes, (most built 60ies to 70ies), and I owned a kitchen and bath design business eons ago. My currents project is 20' x 5'. I made a very rookie mistake and ran out of stucco half way across the wall at 6pm, working under flood lights. I am wondering if I should give it til tomorrow or carry on today. There's no sheer plywood or weep (built 1968), so the stucco is basically the structure...
Good morning Melanie, this is not a big deal. Simply start off where you left off. 😉
Heres, the idea, if you're going to paint this wall, your tie-in should be tight. To on the money, or you may see this cold joint when painted.
Happens to the best of us.😉
If your planning on applying a color coat maintenance-free finish,
simply apply a bonding agent over the complete wall with the cold joint. Thus you won't get ghosting or notice where you stopped and restarted the next day.
Apply the bonding agent with a roller, and it does not have to be pretty. Its sole purpose is to give the wall the same suction, thus no cold joint.

@@StuccoPlastering thank you so much Kirk, you are a total godsend. By the way. Could you make a video just on how to use your affiliate program. Any tool I buy I'd like to make sure you get a piece of it.
@@StuccoPlastering yes im painting in a month after its cured. I did do bonding agent about 12" all around. There's no tie in because all the wire was rusted. I've fastened the edges of the new wire with 16penny nails bent over (facing up as mentioned in one of your videos. ) . Ill put the bonding agent on the seam about 12" so I can feather in and get a tight bond on my scratch coat. Even with paint fir my third coat should I use the bonding between scratch and brown.
Good morning Melanie, if your painting the wall, you don't need a bonding agent. You use a primer and paint instead.
When a person stops plastering in the middle of a wall and begins another time, what can happen is when the two are joined unless it's a sand finish, you may notice excess sand on the existing wall.😉No doubt if this happens, you will be the only one to notice it.🤔
Here's a video that might show you what I'm referring to. Smooth stucco for feathering in stucco transitions, ua-cam.com/video/53jGR8Pfr5w/v-deo.html

@@StuccoPlastering as always much gratitude Kirk, thanks so much. I'll post a pic when I'm done.
My dear, do you know about stucco for middle eastern countries? Does it resist the heat and the rain?
Evening my friend,
Stucco provides thermal insulation against hot weather, keeping a home cool in the summer, especially if the exterior is a light color.
Stucco insulates against outside noises, making the inside of your home noticeably quieter than with exterior siding. Stucco strengthens a home, providing additional structural rigidity.
This is because a stucco building is permanently encased in an envelope of wire and cement.
If you don't like the look of acrylic stucco or. Even cementitious stucco (a matter of personal taste), wood siding, or cement board siding are better choices than aluminum or plastic.
However, none of these sidings will last as long or be as maintenance-free stucco.

Good 👍

What does it mean by 60 minutes, on the Jumbo Tex 15 years 60 min? Thanks Kirk.
Evening Jose, that's easy.
The designations of 30 Minutes and 60 Minutes building and what it means.
These designations refer to a moisture resistance test that uses a moisture-sensitive dye as an indicator. Do you realize what this means?
Me neither. I'm an applicator, not an engineer.
Code says to use 60 minutes of two-ply paper. We use two ply 60-minute paper.
Also my uncle and grandfather were lather by trade in the union
Howdy once more Brian my fellow lather. Yea, I spent some time in the union myself, they look after guys or gals or watch our backs. 🥳
What kind of Staples do I need with a gun to use for the lathing
Good evening Mark, I use a Senco gun with inch and a half staples. The leg of the staple has to be embedded in the stud seven-eighths of an inch.
also, you have to consider the plywood thus 1 inch and seven-eighths are necessary.😉

good advice. thank you.
You're welcome!
Not only did you mark your studs; you marked them with the stapler.

Use hammer tacker those big staples are a probable future leak..
Howdy James, food for thought. However, billions of homes worldwide would leak as we write each other. The fact is nails, and all staples, whether from a hammer tacker or a staple gun, are self-healing.🕵♂
called Kirk 2x for a job in his area and never returned any calls
@@macoy9999 No doubt you didn’t leave enough info, or perhaps left a message, like, I know how to stucco but don’t have the time or I have a thousand square feet but most of the home is windows and doors or something similar. I’ve no apologies to someone who whines here for whatever reason. I’ve responded to well over one hundred thousand comments and all for free, as that’s the man I am. Can you say this about yourself?
Where is the bad lathe job??

To lath Corners takes more time than applying paper and wire ? This must be a joke
Exzackory, but that's not the point of this video, so is the joke on you, or are you kinda stupid that your mind does not understand or comprehend this small fact?
💩 this is the closest thing to a pile of whiny shit I could find. Too bad it's smiling.
