This video shows the beginning of learning how to apply stucco quickly, correctly, and skillfully.
When the brown coat (second coat) started to dry, I applied a textured finish to match the existing taping mud finish on the rest of these interior walls.

FYI, What is stucco? It’s usually Portland cement mixed with sand. Whats Concrete? It’s usually Portland cement mixed with rocks. What’s Cement? Cement is the binder, or you can call it an “adhesive or additive” that binds the materials.

As with almost all cement stucco, both coats can be applied on the same day.
This step-by-step stucco application shows all beginners how to do it quickly.
BTW, The stucco loses its “packs" if over-mixed.
Or over-troweled, so put in on with as few strokes as possible. In other words, please don’t play with it or over-trowel the newly applied stucco.
What the heck does that mean? Excellent question; Glad you asked.
The strength of the stucco can be compromised If it is over-mixed or over-troweled.

Confident and relaxed. This guy knows what he`s doing and gives his employees the credit they deserve in a tough trade.

Great approach and nice work!

Excellent, excellent instructional on "how to". Every instructional on YouTube should be this thorough & professional. Guy's a craftsman in the truest sense.

Hi Mike, if I get a job I bid last week I will show you exactly that I will use imperial for my base then apply a diamond finish.
Of course I may not get the job.
Best wishes and thanks for watching

It's incredible that these guys responds to all these comments. I really do admire your passion for your work and your enthusiasm for life in general that shines through in these videos.

You must be the cleanest plasterer in the world. I know a few plasterers here in the UK and N O N E of the would ever were a white dress shirt to render a wall.

Well done sir.

[chivo]

The true tell of how masterful this man is, is how clean his shirt was at the end of the entire job. Great craftsmanship.

Most positive attitude contractor I've ever seen. You make stucco work look fun.

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!

[yoolito]

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!!

The level of artistic design when he starts texturing is just crazy. Looks like a snow forest landscape. Amazing!

[aTFplayer]

The most impressive part about this video is that both of you walked away with your shirts still white

[johnlimongello]

To plaster: Step one, get yourself a nice new white shirt.
Love this guy and his family...new subscriber here.
