Stucco over any CMU wall.
Can you stucco directly over CMU? Of course, you can, but proper installation skills are necessary.
When installing stucco over concrete masonry units, you may apply the stucco directly over the CMU. Not sure how to? Allow this video to be your guild.
Friends, we are located in Oakland, CA.
Here are all the basic tools we use and recommend on Amazon's website.

You want stucco to improve the look of a concrete block retaining wall?
My friends, you have come to the right place.
We will show and explain how to improve the block wall look with stucco.
We explained the material used and why, plus how thick we applied this skim coat of stucco to this block wall. I used what is called “Riverside plastic cement.” I added some extra lime so that when it came time to add the 4 to 6 inches to the radius, it would not set so fast; instead, it gave us the time to continue working so that when ready, I could give the entire wall the sand finish, that owner wanted.
Note: There is no need for galvanized stucco nettings 3.4 metal mesh or any other bonding agent, as we incorporate a natural, mechanical stucco bond.
That is where we apply stucco directly to a porous wall such as bricks, concrete, or blocks that have not been painted; the stucco adheres by suction.
To apply a bonding agent like Larsons, Weld-Crete, or Quickrete's bonding agent is called a chemical bonding agent, and yes, if you are not sure what this means, apply a bonding agent.
We did have to apply up to four to six inches in some areas; this is where the wall went eight feet without turning to form a decent radius.
What happens when one applies any cement plaster over an inch thick?
Multiple coats naturally cause hairline crack when applying more than 7/8.

So i put 90 min mud over concrete fiber board. Painted it (also painted the fiber board) i was misled about the best means to cover a brick gable. Now im just not sure what to do. Any advice would be awesome and greatly appreciated!!!
@@StuccoPlastering or a true professional that started on tmhe bottom and earn his way up, was the concrete Jedi master for years got old and concrete mastering became a bore, so now with his Harvard fancy lingo , and video spimplicity and easy of material understanding and humor that's almost detectable...I'm fucking w you sir I choose the 2nd answer I was testing dudes on un employment. Don't change...perfect and hilarious. Thanx you for making concrete work enjoyable again.
If I were a 20 something young man who was looking for a career in the construction trades, I’d watch Kirk’s UA-cam channel like an online course. I’d soak up his knowledge, and advice like a sponge. I would try to get a job with an established,and reputable masonry contractor with a long term plan to start my own masonry repair/restoration company. Specialty contractors of Kirks caliber are incredibly hard to find in the New England States especially here in Massachusetts. Kirk’s a Craftsman, and an artisan, who’s in a league of his own…
You and mike haddock are masters at your jobs!

Kirk loads his Hawk and my arm starts to hurt....What a mountain of mud for your age Kirk. Keep up the videos.
Good evening Mike the painter, LOL, if they created a hawk bigger, I'd gladly buy it as I'm not burdened by the weight, but realize if I add any more on my hawk the excess will spill on my shirt sleeve, man, and that I can't tolerate. I hate getting dirty. 😎
They as in Mashatown or Curry should make 16 x16 or even 18 x18 hawks instead of the so-called largest 14 x14 which is okay for most but I'd prefer a bigger one.🤔
Hears my challenge to Marshalltown or Curry or any plaster tool company in the world; make a larger Hawk I'll use it in all the rest of our videos, with a shout out to the company.🧞♂️
Anyone who watches me knows I have at least a few more months left in me before I'm worm food; thus think of the exposure.

I agree, wearing masks in a global pandemic is ridiculous!! Sheep people if you ask me. Sure I sit in my deer stand with face coverings for hours, but a thin paper mask that nurses wear for 12hours a day is impossible for me! As a grown conservative man, I frequently whine about things I have no education or understanding of. Corona virus is fake news, no one has ever died from it. I know because Trump would never lie to me.

"Imagine a king who fights his own battles." Imagin a plastering contrator who plasters his own walls.💃🕺🏻🍻

@@StuccoPlastering Since concrete stucco and cement are all different mixtures of generally similar compounds is there a patching product that can serve multiple purposes? I had a tub of concrete patch of which i used a very small amount to slow down the spalling process on a paver. If i add water can i make it into more of a skim coating, or use it as joint mortar? Would love a materals lesson from ya. thanks for your time.

Nice work as always! Fun to see this done out of hand, I like your layering technique.
Personally I try to avoid setting up such thick layers of plaster, but I guess the lime really helps there. The "old school" method to even out to thickness that my grandpa taught me, is to set up a render layer first and screed up the bulk, then finish with stucco. Watching you I realize it doesn't make that much of a difference in the amount of work, it's just different staging. The big advantage of rendering to me as a not-so-expert is that it gives a lot of room to play and make those big curves nice and even. (For the uninitiated: render consists of 6 parts coarse sand, 1 part plaster, 1 part cement and 1 part water, it's a somewhat lightweight mix that you can set to about two inches thick, great for roughing out. ) Oh and before bonding agent, we brushed on a watery solution of cement and sand to prime stonework surfaces.
Hello my friend, if we added that much sand it will be difficult to have it adhere, Each trowel full will continue to fall as there's not as much portland cement or the sticky stuff to make it adhere.
In fact, it would sound like cows shitting on flat rocks, scary.
We usually add only three times the sand to each part of stucco. sets much better with a lot fewer dropouts. Naturally, there are many ways to skin a cat,😉
@@StuccoPlastering I see your point, of course the mix shouldnt be too wet, and I should mentionit is essential to not move the render around on the wall.No smearing or rubbing or pushing or evening out or anything, do not touch it with the trowel, apply it straight up in blocks as it were, and only even it out once it begins to set.
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing this video. God bless 🙏
Thank you too, cheers.👨🏻🔬

Do you have a videos on skimming over existing rougher stucco and then if you don't want the sand to show through like on this wall, how to do it smoother (with out the sponge and water) or maybe I do want that? Reasons to avoid a smoother finish? Congratulations on Avery! I also have a daughter with the same name.
Further... if I practice on my block walls first, is the same technique and material transferable to the house?
Kirk with the haircut and the body mic! YEEAH BUDDY!
Good morning, Hauoliakua, cool name BTW. thank you.😉

Kirk, I want to do something like this to get that poured cement wall modern look . I don’t want to paint but tint the stucco, can I polish it after? What do I do with hairline cracks if I don’t want to paint it? Would cracks be worse if I live in New England?
Congratulations 🎊
Good evening John Paul, thank you, my friend.😉

So Great time watching and listening to you for so long!! Nice Team!! Thanks for your videos
Myself a mason in the Bay too, but not much about stucco but mostly stones.
You mentioned the 2 to 1 ratio...
was it 2 lime to 1 plastic cement or 2 plastic cement to 1 lime... Merci!.
Beautiful!! I’m updating a basement with cinderblock walls as I remove old paneling. Love the industrial look, would this work indoors? If so, would you apply a coupon coats of water sealer?
Type in how to apply stucco inside, for a video that shows you how we do it.🕵🏼
Great vid Kirk and Jason, Can the plastic cement be used on painted exterior stucco of the house, if the existing stucco is pressure washed and a binding agent is used on the walls?
Good morning Juan, the average stucco sold has plastic and common in it, and yes you can apply this to any exterior surface.
Plastic cement is added for spreadability, Common for strength. Technical stuff.👨🏻🔬

Kirk, I know there are regional differences in what you do. But could you do a video on cost. What we should look for, an estimate on labor and materials. What a quality installer should ask and request of the customer. I see most of your jobs and i wonder what the cost could be. Thanks to you and Jay for your videos.
Good evening Joey, that's a cardinal sin, my brother, as If I did that, some might say, man, you said on this one job you charged this or that, I can't get into that kind of stuff, it's like politic's or religion, I leave that stuff alone.

Hi Kirk, John here from Montreal, Canada. Love your work and tks for sharing your tips and tricks. I have a client who needs a small exterior stucco repair, but the finish looks like granite (black, brown, tan aggregates with cement). In fact it looks like a beach sand finish. A lot of houses in Montreal have this type of finish. But I cannot find any products that can do the job. Do you have any suggestions, I'm at my wits' end. Tks in advance for your help!
Good evening John Dude, sorry, without a picture, I too would be spinning my wheels.😉

Hi Kirk, thanks for all your videos. You're great at what you do.
If I need to build out more than an inch to blend with the surrounding parge. How would I do that. Can I apply 2 scrach coats to get the thickness that I need? I need about 2 inches.
Evening brother, on the eight-foot wall to create the radius I applied almost 4 to five inches dead center and feathered in the radius from there.
You have to realize when the mud sets, then apply the next coat.
I had some monster cracks at that location, that too I knew would happen, I gave the wall two weeks then caulked those cracks with Mor-Flexx caulking, it has stucco sand in it.
@@StuccoPlastering thanks Kirk, I appreciate it 👍
This dude needs to switch to Decaf!!! lol - love your videos! I've learned a lot. I'm about to build a garden bed out of cinder blocks and I want to parge, or stucco, or whatever the outside so it looks like a solid wall. I'm in Iowa. What mix do you recommend? I'm an absolute beginner.
Good afternoon Shp dude, no decaf coffee for me as it was, my son Jason cut out an hour of my rambling, often my rambling answers many questions that folks have; that I just take for granted.😉
FYI, decade coffee is like beer without the alcohol; what good is it If one can't get a buzz.🤔

Another great video, Kirk. The top edge / corner of the wall must be something less than sharp, but not too rounded. Do you find you always have about the same corners on this type of project?
Yes and yes.I am the finish man too.😉

Kirk, I have a question. What would be the draw back or benefit if we apply on a cinder block wall USP 1144 first before we skim coat the wall. I am in a heavy debate about it. Because I do have customers which do have a stucco which clearly show's them cinderblock lines and I am under the impression USP 1144 might eliminate this for good because it seals all the concrete so water no longer can penetrate into the wall. Let me know what your take is and product maybe been a better choice. I have a small cinder block building to build up here soon at my new Property and do like use something which blocks off them lines once we skim coated and painted it.
Best is to see how you use the lime because down here in Florida not a lot of people know it. I am from Germany as you may know by now and yes LIME is the GOLD standard when you want to have any stucco to last and look professionally done.
Hello, my friend. It doesn't matter what stucco you use; if there's at least a half-inch or more applied, the grout lines won't show.
I know this to be a fact as I have used every cement plaster made in the USA.
@@StuccoPlastering Good to know I take your word for it. I had been using on AAC blocks some AMERIMIX preblended scratch and brown stucco and having a very very hard time to get it to stick on AAC blocks. You showed CMU's in your video so what should I try or do different to have it stick better on AAC blocks ?
I have watched most of your videos. Your a great teacher and I'm hoping you can answer my question. I want to learn to carve concrete so it looks like rocks. I don't have the funds to import carving mix to practice and wondering if you could help with a homemade mix. I found a place that suggested a bag of Portland to 2 pails of sand with 2 shovels of clay. What kind of clay do they mean?
Type in how to make stucco look like concrete. bricks or blocks, I show how to do this in at least ten videos.

Evening Mike, man, we sure had fun on this one.
Great job Kirk I was wondering when you said you were making a mix with lime and plastic what is the plastic in the mix is it some sort of sand
Good evening Chris, excellent question, we plasterers used to buy bags of common, used for strength and plastic, used for spreadability combined for all our mixes.😏
In the last 30 years, bags that contain both are now widely available.
Plastic is what this country calls lime, but it's really not. It's less expensive by product.
Thus I needed the extra lime as I knew we would have to apply or spread up to 4 inches in some areas; thus, I needed extra spreadability.

@@StuccoPlastering thanks great answer Kirk I understand now looking forward to your next videos
I like this family
Should glazed bricks be primed or is a steel brush plus a good clean enough for lime stucco to adhere?
Howdy. If you can pressure wash with at least 3,500 PSI strength, this micro etches them or scratches the surface. The idea is to rough them up to clean any dust, dirt, and moss off. So that the new stucco has a porous surface to cling to. If you prime them, the stucco won't adhere at all or at least not long. We apply a bonding agent not to be confused with a primer if necessary.👨🏻🔬
That is an awesome-looking old-world/mission finish you left on that block wall!! Are they going to try and put a cap on that wall? It would sure make it look a lot better!!
Howdy David, the home owner advised us he was going to but that was awhile ago. Cheers
Comment and Question: I purchased the baseball catchers knee/shin guards base on your recommendation and they are the best leg protection I have ever used for all the reasons you mentioned. Thanks! QUESTION: You refer to the 2:1 ratio of plastic cement to lime mixture in this video. The 94 lb bag of plastic cement and the 50 lb bag of type S lime are about the SAME VOLUME as each other at my local Home Depot. Is the 2:1 ratio you mention in this video by volume or weight. If by weight, the recipe is ONE bag of 94-lb plastic cement and ONE 50-lb bag of Type S Lime. If the 2:1 ratio is by volume, then TWO bags of 94-lb plastic cement and ONE bag of 50-lb. Thanks Kirk. I love your videos.
Evening my friend, the kneepads are the real deal.
I added one bag of lime to two bags of stucco for this video as In some areas I had to apply up to five inches thick, and need the extra set time.
What a wealth of information you’re providing. Thank you! I’m going to be putting this to use.
Also, I’m patching a hole in a ceiling where the wood lath is missing. Do I fill in the missing wood lath with cement board? Or recreate the wood lath assembly?
Luke, use the force! Kidding. It's easiest to fasten some diamond mesh netting or rib lth in the
hole. HD sells this 3,4 metal mesh or Google "plastering yards near me." Or you can use sheetrock, then apply a bonding agent like Quikrete over it; HD sells a pint for about 7 bucks. The cement board is a pain in the ass to work with for ceilings. Cheers.👨🏻🔬
@@StuccoPlastering I’ll use the force! Or try to…thank you for the videos. So bad ass! Kirk and the team are the shit
@@StuccoPlastering thank you! I’ll patch it with drywall and plaster over that.
That works; apply a bonding agent first on the sheetrock; Quikrete sells a pint for under ten bucks.
HD and Lowes sell it. cheers.
@@StuccoPlastering I’m starting a triplex Reno that’s going to have plaster work to do all over. I’m watching your vids constantly right now because I want to learn this trade. I bought a gallon of the pink bonding agent I see you guys use.
This is like an infomercial for wall repair.
exzackory.😉
Kirk, when using hollow blocks when building your walls do you have to fill the holes in the top if your laying a cap on the top? Or can you just mortar your caps on top without filling the holes which would take alot of material? Or should solid block be used on top coarse? This would be a retaining wall. Thanks
Hello, depends on the strength you want to achieve, hollow blocks, little strength, solid or fill blocks with concrete and rebar, lots of strength.🍾
You should always fill the top course of your block wall with concrete and add rebar.
"I've been inhaling so much Stucco for 40 years, I got a cement wall in my lungs" Kirk you're too lovable
LOL.🥳
Pro !!
What gloves do you use? I just started working with concrete and I've been looking for some good gloves to work with concrete
Dude, I'm in my so-called office, I had to go all the way to my truck to respond to this question. They say "MCR Safety, Predalite" I buy them by the bundle. 12 in a bundle. Size is 9780 this means large. If you buy one pair at a time cost about 6 to 12 dollars each. When bought in bulk, about 3 bucks each. Google them.
Please take a trip to AZ. I would love for you to build me a 20 foot planter.
Good afternoon KC, cute.😉

Have skim coated and painted cinder block wall. Skim coat coming off near bottom and cinderblock lines showing. Do I need to remove all skim coat or can it be repaired?
Good evening Michael Gallagly, where the grout lines show either paint the wall or simply add more stucco to correct the problem. 🍻
Anywhere the stucco is it's separating was not pressure washed expertly, pressure washing is the groundwork or the foundation to having stucco or cement plaster adhere permanently to any wall, no matter what the substrate is.
Nothing and I mean nothing; adheres to a dirty or dusty surface, at least not for long.🤔

Hey Kirk! Thank you for all the awesome vids! Im now to stucco and while i have used concrete and other materials over the years....im clueless about cellular concrete finishes and such. Im hoping that i could talk to you from n.c. im on a job now and i made a boo-boo. A woozy of a boo-boo. 😩 if you could message me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks brother!!
Good evening PJ Jones, I hate to say this, but Boo Boo's are how we learn. Big Boo boos are ingrained in our conscience and subconscious as their time consuming to correct but more importantly, embarrassing too.🤔🍺

After completion of the 2:1 plastic/lime mix will you see block grout lines or would I need a sealer then paint?
Hello, my friend, No, we applied the stucco thick enough; thus, when the wall gets wet with rain or dry, the grout lines would not ghost or bleed through. Yes, this wall or your wall can now be primed and painted.💃
@@StuccoPlastering that’s great. So adding the extra lime makes plastic cement harder or at least hard enough at the given thickness therefore providing an impermeable surface. I love how simple great job. I create Gfrc elements/ faux rocks/ waterfalls/ liquid metallic flooring and much more but my materials are so expensive and after viewing your video I’m going to be testing more plastic cement/lime possibilities.
