- Hi guys, How y'all doing, I created this complete video on how to correct the stucco around anything that has the one inch foam stucco system, minus the painting of course as we are not painting contractors. I like this video but apologize for some footage audio being unable to understand. However I do show you the basic steps for completing such a repair and I do hope that you glean something from this. Also If you would like to purchase the hawk and trowel I am using in the video I have created a link on my web site under the tool page. Best wishes for your repairs and appreciate your time watching my videos. Cheers! abersonplastering.com
Ask if you have any questions or suggestions on how to do this better. As many of you know I am a seasoned plasterer, lathing and plaster contractor since 1991. In the early days it was much different than it is today. Seems many things are different that they were yesteryear. Let me give you a few examples.
For one, a hod carrier is called a hod carrier because he's was the one who would carry an aluminum built v shaped bucket on his shoulders up a ladder to the brick layers or plasterers above. Today the hod is a thing of the past. Fast forward a few years. Home Depot and the Homer bucket. wallah the new way to carry mud up a ladder. Yet the bucket is much harder to carry, go figure. I guess the production line on hods fell to new lows over the years. Now new hoodies don't really even know what a hod is. Nor will you see brown stucco when we do the brown coat.
A second example is the use of furring nails. Long long ago our wire was made flat, much like chicken wire. Until the invention of self furred wire and pneumatic nail guns and 7/8" staples, lathers had to use what's called furred nails to space the wire away from the wall so mud could be squeezed behind wire lath. Today wire comes self furred and days of the furring nail are all but gone.
A third example of change over the years is what I believe holds true too many plasterers but not all is the interest of the beauty of conventional stucco. Now granted acrylic stucco will expand and contract with the system and inhibit extensive cracking. Acrylic is also a beautiful finish. When acrylic dries after its initial application it can be a beautiful wall. In fact it is so pretty that you would almost think it was painted. Acrylic stucco comes in any color of the spectrum and can be matched to specifications within 90% of its sample color. this is something that is hard to achieve with conventional stucco. What is the drawback and I bet you are saying to yourself what is Ken trying to say here. Well here it is guys. This is what I think about acrylics. All that I have written above plus this. However there is an even keel when it comes to cost. Because regular (conventional stucco cracks and some people are adamant that stucco isn't supposed to crack. Well these people are just misinformed. You see, stucco is supposed to crack. Its just not supposed to burn, it insulates well and the termites won't eat it. It goes the same for acrylics yes. But here is the thing. Regular conventional stucco is under rated. Once you truly understand art, and I will add that it doesn't take much to learn art, it's the yearning for art that will define who you are and tell you what you want to see. Acrylics are flat, no character, in fact it looks like it was painted on. Whereas regular stucco is natural. regular stucco comes from the earth and so do its colors. Not like acrylic who's colors are made in a factory in St Louis. They are both beautiful finish cladding for residential and commercial applications. The choice is yours. Which would you rather have on your dream home? Acrylic stucco? or Conventional stucco? - Zábava
Hardly ever do I post a comment on vids I watch but I had to for this one. As someone in the trades I have great respect for anyone who pays attention to detail and proper installations from beginning to end. That is the mark of a true professional with lots of experience. I do work up and down the valley and will keep your name in mind. Thanks for posting and being so thorough in explaining the process.
Budman 77 thank you for the compliment. May good things come your way
Thank you for the video I like your technique and the fact that you pay a lot of attention to detail and you are not in a hurry to get it done great job.
antonio guzman thank you Antonio. Sometimes we do get in a hurry. Like if we have to beat the heat, or? And quality is job #1
Great job! Your a pro! One of the best plasterers on CZcams!
Awesome stuff and excellent video!!! Thank you for generously sharing your time and talents. If I may make a request...would love to see a beginners series. Something that includes tools for beginners, which stucco types are out there and which to choose for various residential applications, then going through the steps of installation. I know you've got some of these videos already but would be great for an update. Love your work, thanks again!
T Willey I will put it on the “to do” list. Do stay tuned.
Great Video 👍
Great job Ken👍🏽💨
Nice job , like your style
Thank you, my husband has a stucco company. He's now a missing person and I am managing the company with no idea how. These videos really help!!!!!
Oh my, I do hope your husband returns safe. Thanks for checking in King
@@AbersonPlastering thank you
FANTSTIC work guys
Thanks Jim!
really good work!
OMGawd, who are you????? you are the Best Weather person I'ved watched!
Hi Deebrock. I’m not a weather person. I’m a 33 year plastering contractor with over 39 years experience in the trade
Nice work 👌
Thank you!
Perfection✌️
Thanks ✌️
He used his axe like a razor, that was pretty cool
Good job
Thank you !
Great My friend
Great work man, looks pretty close is a patch remember. Jeje
It does!
How much do you charge for a patch like that?
Great job 👏
If I may ask, what was the secondary white coating used?
Thanks Ken, be well!
Hi Steve, the white stuff was course stucco finish by Western stucco in Sacramento Ca. Thanks for your comment
Can I use rapid set stucco patch on efis stucco. Thanks
Yes, of course
nice work, but what is the name of the withe material you use it for the Foam form coat?
Fome tite
i work as a lather all around the bay area , i have a question , so since the foam is over the paper , does the 66 metal around the door not get filled with 7/8 stucco? or is it fully filling the casing .
It fully fills the casing. Casing is 1 3/8”. Foam is 1”. Mud total is3/8”
Great vid. So did u use J casing or L flashing on top? Or does the foam trim become the flashing?
I did use #66-7/8” stucco stop (J-mold) on the top and sides.
@@AbersonPlastering Is your doors jamb wider than standard. I have to mount mine flush with exterior sheathing to give me 1/2” protrusion for inside dry way to be flush with jamb. Problem is now my stucco on exterior sits out 1/2” past jamb. The foam has a 1/2” gap now from its back to door jamb. How do u deal with this?
Hi@@undercrownhiphop9422 So you did it right, the inside of home always takes precedence over the exterior. And sometimes the jamb is a different size than the application was spec’d for. If your jamb is flush with the exterior sheathing? Then I dont see the problem. You would need to use the #66 stucco stop on the jamb and leave a little reveal. There are natural cut lines in the jamb precisely where the stucco mold or 66 stop would go. It’s about 1/2” away from the inside return of the jamb. Now you could use your foam as the stop like you asked in your initial question, or you could use wood or vinyl. There is no law saying you need to use a certain material.
Have you ever seen something very creative and asked yourself, “How did they ever think of that”? Well this is your opportunity to be the designer. As Kirk would say, “ there is more than one way to skin a cat” Good Luck!
@@AbersonPlastering Wow. Thank You so much. Why the heck didn’t I think to run the stucco mold over the jamb? 🤪
That makes so much sense. Only question is since I’m using rainscreen and the stucco stop goes on top of it wouldn’t that introduce water on the door jamb? Maybe do a Perl and stick in the jamb?
@@undercrownhiphop9422 You got it. But if it was me the first thing I would do is install the j-metal but you could do the peel and stick first. I would do the j metal first though to make sure the metal is sitting nice and flat on the jamb, then apply the peel and stick, then the rain screen. The painter would then caulk where the j-mold meets the jamb. I would just be leery of the peel and stick messing up like a crinkle could mess up the flatness of the j-mold, even where it overlaps. Good luck either way.
What size nails do you use need to know ASAP thanks
Sorry if it took so long to reply. But with the 1” foam system it is common to use 2” roofing nails.
I've only ever seen and ran full lengths on the sides. Why the 1 inch short cut?
Prolly because the trim wasn’t quite 8’ long
Will the wall portion flash when it comes time to paint????
If you paint the wall from corner to corner it will not flash.
Where do you get the tongue and groove foam and the styrofoam trim?
I get mine from ABC Supply
Wish you would explain more on what you doing. Like telling the base coat, then finish coat. Different throughs that your using. How to nail on wire Stuff like that.More explaining on what your doing. Nice work though.
Thanks for checking out my video(s). Go to my channel. There are lots of different videos on different topics
What’s the mixing products that you used ???
Foam coat fine. Available wherever stucco products are sold
What about the color matching? You should show us the fog coat part🙏🏾
Fog coat. I try to make it as habit of telling folks I don’t do fog coating. It’s a mess, and the results are less than warranted for the amount of work involved. Thanks for checking us out though E.
Hi Thanks for your comment. We don’t do much fog coating, because that’s when you have made a. Joint or bad color job. We tend to not make those errors.
Nice job Ken.
But frankly im not very impressed with the foam trim.
Id sooner use a milcor bead around the door, then attack a wood strip on the wall and fill it in with mud.
We did the tooth corners the same way, solid mud.
You probably would not have been awarded the job though Ernie. Times have changed
