H guys this video explains start to finish plastering a new home. On this home we first applied the lath. Two layers of paper with 17 gauge wire. After the lath inspection, we applied the scratch coat. We let the scratch coat cure a week as it was during winter. Next we applied the brown coat (it not really the color brown it's just called brown coat meaning second coat) which we let cure for for 4 to 5 weeks as we were in no hurry and the home owners had not decided on a color or if they wanted an acrylic or La Habra finish. Finally we applied a heavy Parex acrylic Sand Finish.
Complete stucco home, from tear off to lath and 3 coat system.
Thank you for reading or watching, and have a great day!

Kirk, love your videos! But what do you call the yellow tape and the stuff you slathered on after the tape was on. Did you call it PolyBond? Couldn't quite hear what you said.

@SunsetSix Hey Guy, on this job I used poly bond made by LaHabra. It's used primarily to attach Styrofoam molds to the second coat of stucco. (Brown coat)

I sometime also use weld create if the surface is painted or sealed and finally sometimes I will use a light color coat especially if I am applying a light color. Don’t want the ghosting effect of the tape bleeding through.

Good question. Have a groovy day!

I would suggest redoing informative/commercial, hire a professional video person who has a wireless mic because I'm having difficulty understanding you. You can rent the equipment edit on a PC or Mac so people see you for what you are, a professional who cares.

Hey RudeMcNasty, that is excellent advice. I will ask my son to shop for a wireless mike because at least 7 out of the 150 videos we have completed, the audio is not that great. The main reason I do these videos is that my son works with me and loves to film our projects. We have since seen other advantages to where we are today to when we first started. Thanks again for the compliment and the sound advice.

Have a groovy day!

Hey Eddie, the base coat is roughly three quarter's thick with a finish coat adding an extra one eighth to total finish seven eighths thick.  A La Habra or acrylic finish is similar in depth, when troweling in on, unless you are going to blow on a finish coat. This is for new construction. I have found jobs ranging from 1/4 inch thick to 2 inches thick when we do plaster repairs. Good question.

What's the mix for the base coat and how smooth is the finish? How thick is the acrylic finish coat and is it troweled on?
