    Google "architectural foam moldings" in my area. To purchase these styrofoam molds.
    So, you want to add architectural character to a house? You come to the right place or channel.
    This complete and detailed video about Stucco Styrofoam decorative trim molds attached to plaster or stucco walls is your ticket to learning. Tip First, install the Decorative Stucco Foam Sill.
    Then the side, and lastly, the top.
    Huge tip: If you decide to purchase styrofoam stucco molds, make sure you request they be precoated with the fiberglass mesh already protecting the fragile styrofoam with a cementitious adhesive coating such as Poly-Bond.
    La Habra’s Poly-Bond is precisely engineered to secure and strengthen the styrofoam by adding a cementitious adhesive to adhere the fiberglass mesh to the styrofoam; Poly-Bond, or a similar adhesive, is also used to adhere the styrofoam to the stucco basecoat.
    I personally add some nails so that the styrofoam molds adhere permanently.
    Yes, this punctures the paper. However, furring nails and staples also do; this is normal as the paper is designed for self-healing.
    I have heard many horror stories from my fellow plastering contractors who mention the high winds blew or knocked off some of these styrofoam pieces. That has not happened on my watch.
    I include nails while the cementitious cement adheres the foam to the walls.

      Hello, no,I don't however I'd recommend a saws-all with at least 3 of the longest and best blades sold as you will be cutting through a cementitious adhesive.
      As you do the blade will naturally hug the wall, it will bend, but that's normal.
      Wear some good goggles, for the sparks from metal cutting cement..

      Morning Steveh, excellent question, we use a large chop saw with a masonry blade, as if you use a saw blade for cutting wood the teeth will shred the fiber mesh on the styromfoam.

    • @StuccoPlastering
      @StuccoPlastering  Před 6 lety

      Howdy Karla, au contraire mon frère.
      We coat the head of the nail with stucco, thus when painted the crown of the nail head won't bleed as it won't rust. When the rains begin no rust no bleeding. This is also common with clay roof shingles, as the hammer hits the head of the nail this removes the galvanization which is done to prevent exposing steel when wet all steel and or iron can rust unless coated. This is a reason why the golden gate bridge in S.F. is coated year round with paint.
