Hello, in this video, we are going over an old tired, beat-up, stained cementitious color coat finish applied over a retaining wall.
We are pressure washing with at least 3,500 PSI to remove all the dust, dirt, and grime.
Note: After the wall is immaculate, “this means absolutely, No dust, dirt, grime or moss.”
Then it’s time to roll or brush on the stucco acrylic primer with your choice of acrylic stucco primer.
After the wall or home is primed, you are ready to apply the stucco acrylic finish coat.
We used Stucco-Flex, in this video, or as they call themselves, Stuc-O-Flex.
Another quality stucco is Dry-Vit and or BMI.
What is an Acrylic color finish that’s used for resurfacing stucco walls?
Good question. It’s like rubber mixed with sand and color pigments.
Remember that acrylic stucco sticks to everything, so you must cover the ground well; however, no stucco acrylic stucco will adhere to a dusty surface, at least not forever. I mention this often as I get many calls saying that Kirk, the plastering company that applied my stucco finish less than a year ago, is now coming off help.
There is much prep work involved in acrylic refinishing over stucco walls. Allow this video to be your guild.
This video demonstrates and explains how to apply acrylic stucco by hand. These are maintenance-free colored finishes over an existing stuccoed retaining wall.
Not only does this application require extreme troweling on pressure, but as I was floating, I had to push as hard as I could to fill all the voids with this glue-like acrylic because the existing finish was a heavy dash finish.
At the end of this video, my own wrist and forearms were tight as a drum and a bit tired, which is indeed rare.
My daughter Madeline had to use both hands towards the end of this wall as the strength needed was a bit too much. She has been teaching English in Spain for the last year and lost some wrist strength.
Use it or lose it, we used to have fun here, plus the owner was a nice fella.

I appreciate that.💃🏻
jeeeeeeeeez l wish l was 20 years younger and working in your country l,d make a mint the way you do your plastering sooooooo easy, everything finished with a sponge.

Sponge floats make it look wavy. Plastic floats and a trial for a scraper is best method in my opinion. And I learned how to float pretty damn good in under a year
Howdy, my friend, under a year, you learned all this!
I say cool beans to you, Daddieo.
I also say more power to you, but the actual fact is, all can and should do as they wish.
I do not demonstrate what we do to say, do as I do, but show how we do it. For example, there are many ways to skin a cat.
My 40 years as an expert, not because of the years in, but the passion or love of what I do, is why I do things the way I do.
Thus don't do as I say, but do as you wish.
It's important to follow your own mind, not ole Kirks.🍾
Kirk, it's funny someone who claims to be an expert in one year and can't spell the tools of the trade correctly. Trowel, not trial. A trial has a judge. A trowel spreads stucco. :)
Howdy Big Daddy, give 'em hell. My guess was the fella was under 25? And no doubt had magical whiskers or peach fuzz on your chin? Been there myself so can't beat him up. Plus I have kids around that age.🥳
Hahahah this is great Kirk hire me on already

Hey Kirk, your videos are very helpful thanks, i have a question abound rendering,
i'm rendering a smooth brick wall and sometimes at the bottom of the area i have rendered big blobs of render will drip down and come off the wall.
I thought it was too much water in the mix but even when i try a really stiff mix it can still happen, any advise why this is happening and how to avoid it would be greatly appreciated thanks Kirk
Howdy Skipper, sounds to me like dust or dirt, nothing adheres to a dusty surface.
Try wire brushing with a jet steam from a garden hose to remove any and all dirt.

Hey Kirk and gang,
Question... if you already have the brown coat done with a rapidset product..... can you go over it with an acrylic finish after priming it of course?
Howdy 1001 Dude, absolutely,
Best wishes with your projects,
Kirk giordano plastering on small repairs
Great video guys! Learning so much!
Question: if I want to redo my house that has currently a sand float finish stucco into a smooth finish (santa Barbara, etc), can I diamond grind/etch off the float finish and apply weldcrete and apply the new smooth finish? Or just go over the existing finish like u did in this video with the new finish? Is sandblasting the preferred method? Thx guys!
Howdy Dan Dude, sand blasting is no longer allowed in my area for at least the last 20 years, this is O.K.with me as I prefer the water blast myself.
If your going to change a heavy finish to smooth, you will need to apply two coats, depending on the existing finish, I sometimes will spread the first finish with a heavier sand such as 20/30, (medium) or even 16/20, (heavy) to fill in depths, then apply a finish coat with smooth stucco which is basically (30/30,) "very fine sand"

Right on I'll test it on a smaller area before doing the whole house. Any brands/types for the best finish/crack resistance in your experience? Acrylic or cementitious? Thx
Howdy Dan, I prefer Dry-Vit, stucoFlex, BMI or Carson's
Cementitious are 5 times as easy to apply, clean up is 4 times as simple and less than half the cost as all acrylic's try Western, BMI or La Habra.

That acrylic render looks very interesting. However, do you think there are specialist people in Europe that would know how to apply it? In UK for instance.
Good evening Daniel, yes, in fact Lime plastering or stucco were originally from the UK, thousands of years ahead of the united states. Goole, UK plasterers, you will find many quality plastering companies

Mr. Giordano, I was just curious, did you learn how to do, what you do, from your father or grand-father? It is good to see that there are still real old-world craftsmen in this country. Thank you for sharing with us all.
Evening Larry, no, I learned when I answered an ad for a hod carrier paying 5 dollars an hour for this position, I was about 18.
After the first week i thought wow, I'm getting paid to work out, can't beat that!
Hod carrying got boring as I was young strong and too fast for the plasterers, so I plastered too.
I'd sound conceited if I said I plastered faster and better than most journeymen plasterers in as little as two weeks, but i'd be a liar if I said I didn't.
The rest you see, well a tiny bit anyways as my son Jason started videoing a few of our projects in the last 5 years.
Cheers and have a great day,
Kirk giordano Plastering
Kirk Giordano plastering Inc. , Thank you, sir. It is a joy to watch a true master craftsman do what they do.
@@StuccoPlastering It's not conceited or bragging when one talks about finding their calling at 18, and getting very good, very fast,
because
1- they like to work
2- they like to learn
3- they take a lot of pride in the product they make.
@@als4817 Howdy Al, when your right, your right, thank you. 😉
Jay has some great technique .. must have learned that from somewhere ... wonder where?
Evening Thor, that's my boy. 👍
Hello Kirk!
Hey would you be able tell me how best to clean tree sap off of the side of a freshly finished acrylic smooth home?
Howdy Billy, good question, pour warm water over it gently, extend a garden hose from your water heater cleanout that might work? As the cold water won't do much help. This is just a guess, as it's not something I have done before that makes perfect sense. The idea is to not remove the finish or texture.🍾
hey Kirk what is the average life for "the stucco" wall and is there a way to keep it looking good. oh and does weather and the quality of material play a part? thank you
Howdy Jnixongo, the average life of a stucco wall is thousands of years depending on the render used.
The pyramids, castles, roman churches and the great wall of china just to name a few are still standing today more than 5,000 years later, these great structures were created from lime based mortars.
As far as the dirt going up and over the side of the wall which happened in this case, note the owner dug a great trench that should not allow the water to drain into the french drain system and not over for many years.
When I originally looked at this retaining wall the level of the dirt was even to the top of the wall.
If this material or a cementitious finish does get dirty, use of a garden hose can wash it off if done properly.
Lastly Acrylic's are not created equal, there are some that I would not use if they were given to me, but I stay away from crappy products we show and use the quality products.
Best wishes,
kirk giordano Rendering
Hi I like all you videos I I decided to put stucco in my house and right now I’m plastered all the acrilic i see you videos and I learned how can work with plaster I have cuestión I wonder if you can explain me why I have small holes or pinhole air any help you can give me i precísate tanks for teaching all you skills 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Kirk, I am enjoying your video and learning a lot on stucco. I have the outside walls with paint on it. Question: Can I do a good wash and apply the acrylic finish coat?
Good morning Edgar dude, excellent question. That means there air traps under the finish. In the future, then pressure was the walls very well, then apply whatever primer the acrylic stucco recommends. This should stop that bubbling or small holes from happening.

Good morning Victor Vu dude. When you say wash, you are referring to pressure washing to remove all dust, dirt, and grime, then yes, your ready to apply any acrylic. It's advisable to first apply the primer that is sold with all acrylics.
If your referring to the team, "a Wash," or "a lime wash," with stucco, this is a term from a different era or time and place and has nothing to do with what we're doing in this video.

I LOVE watching your videos Kirk. I am having my house re-stuccoed using the color coat method. The contractor knows what he is doing and I am getting a fair price ($38K). My questions is that I want a pure white color which is not available in his sample chart. He wants to charge me an additional $2000 to have the custom color made. Does that seem reasonable? The total wall square footage is around 12,000.
Howdy Tom, La Habra stucco does indeed make a crystal white which is a stock color.
This is cryle white. ua-cam.com/video/OqbQbdEySSI/v-deo.html/ Spread or render smooth stucco over rough stucco.
If u ever are in ireland ill meet u for a pint , i can also horse them down al day 😅

Good morning Kirk! Can you do a patch on a Santa Barbara finished wall. Would you have to skim the rest of the wall?
Yes and yes, unless it's crystal white all other colors will ghost or bleed through.
@@StuccoPlastering thank you sir. The wall is crystal white! And we are patching back with the la habra Santa Barbra mission finish
Eric, now what are the odds of that?
Cheers.
Nice one kirk, can you use this to cover up a brick (non mason brick) wall
Howdy Dawn Patrol, not really, as the grout lines would crack like an egg plus the depth needed would not hold it own weight, anything more that 1/8 of an inch would slide plus a depth of say all the way up to 1/4 inch would severely checker crack.
You could however skim coat the brick first with stucco to get an even surface then apply an acrylic finish.

Hi Kirk and family.I have recently started watching your videos and wow!! Very explanatory and what you say makes complete sense. We live in Scotland in the UK and we are building a house. We have 2 fireplaces that we are going to be installing log burning stoves in and the fireplace insides are lined with fire resistant plasterboard (gyproc). I know you're a busy guy but I wondered how you would recommend finishing the insides as a log burner gives off a lot of heat and I'm worried it could crack as we just want a paintable finish.I have had a look to see if you cover anything like that in your videos but cant find anything. It doesn't look as if you have much call for a log burner where you live :)You would probably see the fireplaces in some of my videos or I could send a photo.Any help would be great but I appreciate you're a busy man.Thanks Ian
Sand and cement can work great with a floated / sponged finish can add fire clay and or lime as some think lime is better to resist the heat but no matter what it can still always crack
Howdy Mac daddy, this advice for the inside fireplace is what I would have also suggested, doubtful though it can be painted.
thank you and Cheers,
Kirk giordano rendering
Howdy Country couple in Scotland, answer below from Mac Plastering who knows more than I about interior fireproofing as your right we have few fireplaces that need skimcoats on the inside here in Ca., they are all mainly brick.
Best wishes to you young lovers,
Kirk giordano rendering
Thanks guys. So you can do a sand cement finish straight on to fire board? I'm guessing you would need to use a bonding agent? Sorry, I'm not in the plastering trade but can do wee bits and pieces. Loving your videos Kirk! Pity you don't stay closer to Scotland. I'm needing my upstairs plastered.
Hello young lovers, if your fireboard is porous then a bonding agent is not required.
I would use a portland cement plaster perhaps with an additive of say crushed fire bricks and or extra lime,
Best wishes,

Sponge can also give a better finish on acrylic stucco i have tried both
Howdy Osas, thank you, I too have tried both and prefer the sponge as it bring more agegate to the surface with a better or perfect pattern.

Sir
Can you stucco over existing stucco that has been painted? Not sure what type of paint was used to paint the stucco. Thank you
Howdy Miguel, of course, you can, however, you must first apply a bonding agent over the cleaned walls, Type in stucco finish over painted stucco to see how it's done. 🤙
@@StuccoPlastering thank you
My 20 year old acrylic stucco finish on my house is in the same condition as this wall was. After you pressure washed, what was the name of the bonding agent.? Also, I would love the Santa Barbara type finish over my rougher finish. That means I would have my stucco company apply two coats of 30/30? Is there an acrylic I can have them use to get the Santa Barbara look?
Good afternoon Retired dude, the bonding agent was called, " Weld Crete" by Larsons.
If you go with an acrylic, use have to apply their choice of primer noot a bonding agent. Both have smooth finishes, and two coats are advisable, some can do it in one however.😉

@@StuccoPlastering Thank you Kirk, your info is empowering.
@@StuccoPlastering Thanks Kirk used your serach engine to find this answer !
Not sure if you read old posts, was also looking for length of time for base coat ( stucco ) on a concrete wall to dry , before applying the primer and acylic ? Concrete is 2+ years old, using bonding agent before base.
@@als4817 Howdy Al, applying an acrylic stucco is the same as applying paint. Both seal the stucco.
Thus one would wait 28 days before its application.
The reason is that when stucco is first applied, it's about a pH level of about 14. You want it to go down or cure to about an 8 pH level to avoid blistering, pealing, ghosting, and such. Cheers. 🍾
@@StuccoPlastering Thank you very much, mixing the 2 types ,, being careful.

good job..looks great...i like your vids. 10 years ago my contractor used an acrylic (dryvit) around my new foundation. most is holding up pretty well above grade. but I have a basement stair that goes below grade. that area didn't last but a few years. it can't breathe and totally traps moisture behind and bubbles off.
Howdy Gibson, thank you, always nice to hear from me fellow contractors.
I take it there is no french drain system.

I’ve seen such mold in more than a few houses in Israel. Mainly in joint areas after stormy weather .
I think. At times. The reason is more simple for that as We had some surprisingly big storm in recent years that revealed , sooner rather than later, the poor work standard of applying this material in here.
Sadly , in Israel, there is yet to be a proper training standard as a guide rule for stucco and such guys.
Simply put. It’s like you said. You need to be a real pro working with that stuff. And sadly we can’t afford flying your ginger squad of epic ness off shore .. yet.
I could just, in a case like that, do a regular stucco over cinder blocks and then , after a few weeks use one of these new flexible paints instead . Right?

Howdy Adr1, my daughter Madeline has been in Spain teaching English for about a year and fly's back this Wednesday (3 days from now) for another year, she has a degree in Marine BIology and has taken on part time work waiting for an opening for her chosen profession, she plasters on the side, since she lost some wrist strength due to a year off at the end of this video she had to use both hands as the strength needed was a bit too much, heck I even had problems with spreading and floating this acrylic render as we had to push each trowle full hard to embed, I wishes we could have filmed how she used the trowel as I found it ingenious.
I will say this about spreading this course acrylic sand render over a dash finish, I felt my my own wrist and forearm were about to pop, as what we did appears easy however the pressure needed to spread this acrylic was incredible. Use it or lose it.

acrylic finish is supposed to be floated with a plastic float.
Evening Myk, foolish assumption, I can use my shoe if I wanted.
The sponge float gives the wall a float finish. A plastic float can also be used but the finish is quite different and would not cover the original finish.

Howdy BLH Dude, there are many colors to choose from, just like paints.😉
Does it stay white or can paint be applied?
Howdy Jaime, I will stay white. However, if there's dirt, dust grime floating around in the atmosphere, or the earth in the back of the retaining wall overflows because of a lot of rain. Naturally, that can dirty any wall.
And yes, any wall can be painted.😉
@@StuccoPlastering hehehehehe, I see. Well, that's a good thing, right? Thank you for answering my question. 🙃
You could paint it but lots of the time it comes out blotchy
In Canada we can order colour tints, to add to the pail, and hence the stucco is colour coating the wall.

Sponge float for acrylic finish? Ive been in the trade for 20 years working in Florida and Texas, and we use plastic floats to achieve a nice professional finish. Sponge floating is for cement finishes. If I pull up to an eifs job with a sponge float,I would definitely get run off the job. Please dont teach people to cut corners and do sloppy work mr Kirk
Evening Mr. Hugo, you my friend are entitled to your opinions thats whats makes this life great,
The fact is you can use a sponge float as I did in this video.
anther fact is you can also use a plastic or hard rubber float to but the results very quite a bit.
Cheers,

with plastic float it’s double the work because once you have to bring out the aggraget and after you have to smoothed down very gentle people in trade knows what I am saying.
With sponge float I don’t know because in eifs stucco you can’t use spong float
Just his talks and no zoomed in video to see what he is doing
Would I lie to you baby?

cool beans daddieo😉
Floating takes years of practice? With a sponge float? Lol. Okay
Howdy Ansen dude, floating acrylic with a green sponge float does indeed take years of practice as when set an acrylic won't float like all the cementitious finishes instead they harden, thus smear when touched which appear's quite different in texture.
Now throw in 80 degree heat or more and a hot wall directly in the sun......................

Totally agree... I've been plastering in Hawaii for 21 yrs. We deal with high humidity and hot hot weather.
Totally depends on location

Good Afternoon Ansen, used to love Hawaii, until an attorney and his Judge uncle, stole our property there, a sad story.
