Hello folks, Kirk and Jays here, with Kirk Giordano plastering.
today what we're doing is a synthetic finish an acrylic finish over here they install the window
a couple weeks ago so what we're gonna first do there's a ghost in effect that can happen guys
like paint even though this is acrylic it could still happen unless I coat this right now and then
weari coat the entire wall this thing can ghost out meaning you can see the outline of it what
we're going to try to do today is show you how to do that yeah I'm I'm just going to surround
this guy here and feather it in to get rid of that so-called ghosting effect I'll show you real quick
like that and because we're doing it all today I take a dry float and all I want to do is again get
rid of that so-called ghosting effect this right here is already dry and as fast as I put it on
with a warm day I got a completely dry floaters and the water in this float the whole idea here
guys to get rid of the ghosting effect so that when we put another coat it don't show we're
running against a couple things right now time Jay is late for a burning dude awesome festival
Burning Man Bernie dude what's the difference it's a cool festival that they go to every year and as
soon as we're done here he's hitting the road for a 10-hour Drive of course we're going to set we're
setting this up this is some dangerous guys so I'm not going to show us doing the top because
we're putting a long plank I got my 30-foot plank going from there to there and and all this jazz so
the idea is what I want to show is when you do a patch within a wall if you want it consistent
where you don't see the ghosting effect what is the ghosting effect if I were to just start over
there and skim this and I'm using one of the best acrylic formulas made that's one of the best I've
been using that for 30 years it's good stuff it looks like when this dries it will match that well
it won't it'll ghost so what we're going to do is once I get done here we're going to skim coat this
whole thing because we're in a hurry I'm not sure how much will show you what try to show you a wee
bit more so you get the idea because this is a common question people say well will you see the
patch you would see it unless you do what we're doing working with my buddy oh yeah he's a 40-year
man and when I worked this high man I need some guys that really know what they're doing anyway
we're going to I'm going to continue this and probably when we get to the level that we can
get rid of some of this death-trap here we'll show you how we're just reapplying another coat
over this existing coat all right guys I ought to show you another clip since Jay had to go down and
get another bucket anyway here's a quick tip guys I mean right here they had a downspout and they
tried to cover it it looks like hell so that we're getting that out too besides the window we put
another coat over it this is one coat this is the second coat how I got that tip there we've lifted
the ladder and I just because I'm the tallest one here did the tops it's kind of like doing
this right here you just stretch up make sure your knuckles don't hit sadface your board clean
the backside of your child and if your knuckles here hit the fascia board then just an acrylic
all over painted finish it's a [ __ ] to get off so you just kind of get it here and then we just
do the same we just kind of get it real close to this a little chip guys this is a float finish
but we're so high up here all I'm doing is using the trial for the first quarter engine then I take
the float and because no one can see it up here and it doesn't really matter it blends in with
this fine float finish we just float it like that then we give it a float finish here but if I try
to float the top right up to that fascia board all the acrylic that's on this head right here will go
out here and you can't clean it you'll have to repaint it so hope you're spreading next to me
and James about to come back up I thought I'd show you a little bit because we can and here's where
I just spread a little while ago no ghosting effect and I'm just following hobby Anna you
see where we're going hopefully we get to the next level show you a little bit more all right guys we
are getting there all that difficult stuff is done what we're doing is working in harmony you need a
good team if you're going to do this guy's I tell you to take a wall out this big with only three
plasters take some practice pull this pull all that stuff off you got to know what you're doing
as we go down we pull off and again it definitely takes some practice guys wood here he's going to
paint this over that's okay my joints the joint show right now but that's okay they are going to
come out anyway we're about to drop it down all the hard stuff is done and when we get to that
stage where everything is done we'll just show you one last photograph of it all right guys
always the fun part never get yelled at for being too clean we're cleaning up now there you have a
couple joints we just finished this wall but those joints are going to disappear with time
anyway my name is Kirk I'm with Kirk Giordano plastering those of you trying to do a big wall
with an acrylic finish got to know what you're doing we thank you for watching let's see guys
on the next one alright guys thought we'd show you the completion of the wall it's another day
guess what as we were doing this Jason who's been at this for 10 years - and been licensed for a few
of those you kept saying dad let's hydrate this wall and I said no we don't need to hydrate the
wall well when I was done I called my buddy Jerry bozo who is a rep for drive it he says so you had
a few joints so I said yeah I had to go back the next day it took me like an hour to feather out
the joints but normally with quality products you don't have to do that he said the only thing I
could tell you Kirk is did you pressure wash it and I thought oops yes I actually had the owner
pressure wash it he says what you did is you made it breathable you should have took your
son's advice and just hydrate it and you wouldn't have had to go back the next day with for a few
joints but anyway guys even thirty-year guys like myself still make some little boo-boos the finish
was applied 24 years ago and I know the guy who did it he applied the primer and the acrylic so
I didn't think it was necessary live and learn even guys like me you're still even if you're in
one trade still stuff to learn moral to the story is it should have took your advice Jay anyway my
