The man I mention who works at, Home Depot,:" in Oakland of High Street is Mike Allen Kirk Giordano Plastering Inc. http://www.StuccoPlastering.com http://www.bayareaplastering.com Howdy folks, in this video I didn’t explain directly, how to apply plaster as we have over 800 video’s that show how to do this. I am just suggesting you ask the local salesman at the stores you purchase your materials in which plastering product will suit your needs. Some salesmen are brilliant like Andy McKinley who works at Pagano's in Alameda. Then there the flip side of the coin, some can’t remember who they are as a rule at least ask your not sure you may be pleasantly surprised by the knowledge of some workers and salespeople at various hardware stores. FYI, how much sand for each coat of stucco? Scratch coats are mixed at 1 part cement to 3 to 4 parts sand, brown layers are combined at 1 part cement to 3 to 5 parts sand, finish coats are sold separately in pre-bagged you just add water. In all our video's I explain in simple layman's terms the applications and reasons for our actions so that even my dear old grandma can understand.
