Skin burning? Stucco Burns.
Concrete Burns.
Skip trowel Stucco texture applied to blend in patches, is what we’re actually doing in this video, however we felt because of recent comments we educate the so-called negative side effects that now only we but most folks take for granted.
Howdy folks, as a rule we explain with actual footage of how to apply plaster as well as most chores related to stucco.
We thought we would take a break from actual applications and explain some negative side effects of getting stucco or concrete on your skin or inhaling it. If it gets on your skin, the lye goes to work immediately transdermally carrying the of lye into your bloodstream where it can cause a lot of problems. Consider lye like a parasite as you as the host.
We are not in the fear business, but feel compelled to educate folks who may not realize, with stucco and concrete one needs to use caution when handling the bags, mixing, breaking out or even application.
At the risk of creating fear, the lye and silica can remain around the perimeter of your home and your neighbors home forever, then while walking this toxic dust can become airborne again.
It’s similar to Covid or religion, just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there waiting for our greedy lungs.

Touching wet cement can cause a chemical burn that may not appear right away and may get worse over time. Some cases require emergency medical care.
Hopefully most journeyman workers knows the importance of being cautious about the risks associated with stucco and concrete. Most people are familiar with concrete-related hazards like crush injuries, silicosis, and even asbestos-containing concrete. However, many people underestimate one of the most common cement-related injuries: concrete chemical burns, also known as cement burns.
Yes, stucco can burn. What happens?Stucco is a cement-containing product that can cause skin irritation, contact dermatitis and burns. When wet, cement reacts with water on your skin to produce alkaline molecules that can break down your skin tissue.
From the entire Giordano plastering family, we thank you for watching.
