SPRAYING AIRCRETE WALL PANELS, COOL INVENTION (STUCCO MATE) 

Love the fact that you show the fails as well as the success. Great job

I like this guy. One of the most hard-working RU-vid content creators that I know. He doesn't just review products, which I find a bit lazy of many creators. I might as well turn on the telly and watch QVC instead. No, this fella actually makes stuff !! He got me interested in aircrete and, now, he comes up with this. I hope to own one of them very soon. Thank you !

This is EXACTLY what I’ve been searching the internet for for weeks…..Thank you Sir! I can now build my house and rec ponds. 🙏🇦🇺

You wife is smart. She offers great advise and asks good questions like, “What’s a blue banana?”

I like just watching you guys interact... "I just like watching you some times I forget to record"... glad I found you....Thanks

Aloha HDC, You have just created a great avenue for a hundred projects! Keep it coming. Dome forms are a huge step closer to creation. Thank You, Thank You!!!

Darwin, remember I mentioned a product that can be sprayed on a surface called Cork Spray? You just invented a unit that would apply that with ease. The unit that is used for Cork Spray costs about $4000.00 and requires a big air compressor. I need to research this to see how it works. Awesome idea my friend.

Absolutely great idea! Looks a lot less cumbersome than that heavy thing you were working with at the last workshop. Great application density. It didn't pile up in one spot.

I love how you answered her question and explained how to use a extension with a tapered tap. Your a good teacher. 👍

Love how the 2 of them work through the trial and errors together and in the end have a well functioning applicator. He’s a great listener too.

As in all DIY, it's all a matter of trials until you perfect it. It's also nice u have a perfect mate in ur trials & making nice coments & suggestions. Thanks & keep it up.

Love your inventiveness. Thanks for sharing!

So freakin' exciting! I like the effect of your StuccoMate invention without any troweling; that pattern looks really great just as is! I'm thinking about buying one, and I don't even have my land yet! Keep up the GREAT work!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

This couple is Soo cute!!🙏💙 And great application! Thanks

Awesome video. I enjoy watching your process of development. You are lucky to have such a supportive partner. Great tool even I could make that work and have the application. Keep them coming.

You are a good guy. Honest and true. I enjoy your videos. You do great work

You got a quick and confirming validation on the pickle jar. That was awesome. Thanks for the content and your time you guys!

This is awesome. Also, I've been meaning to say that I like your hat. Thank u 4 ur time & research 4 affordable inventions 4 the working class. And , as always, I love watching & listening 2 the banter between u & ur wife. U guys r so cute together. What a team.

you are SO lucky to have a wife to support what you do!

I’ve watched so many DIY videos on so many topics and they all have the same theme... a refined video of the end result showing none of the troubles and issues along the way. I have never commented on one before either. I thoroughly enjoyed this video and laughed my head off at the bumps and bloopers along the way. It had more of a back yard, figure it out with your buddy feel to it. The fact that your wife is your buddy is even better. Keep up the great work. You’re on to a new “reality”.

What a good guy. Love this guy!!

Necessity is truly the mother of invention. Good job brother.

That was so funny that i laughed and laughed and laughed some more, after seeing that one tiny smidgen of concrete that landed on his face, that resulted in the creation of a DIY Marlyn Monroe stylish mole on his face. Ahahahaha!! No seriously, that is a very groovy idea really, the walk through showing people the possibilities that can be achieved even on a low money budget, and your effort to find such a solution that works with lower pressure systems. Thanx for sharing. Keep the rock alive!

Awesome idea! You really did nailed it! Big thanks for sharing with everyone! Wonderful atitude in those times:) And it really make so big diference when you build something with yours own hands - so much easier! You are an angel

Great Invention. Looks like it works great.

Good ideas gets my grey matter going I’ve seen shotcrete spayed on they used a huge funnel and most of parts made with metal pipes that’s basically just a down sized one great going

Works exactly like a handheld drywall texture sprayer that have been around for 30 years or more. The drywall texture sprayer has a hopper and uses air also, they are less than $100. Did you try one? Is yours built differently?I love your channel.

Brilliant! They designed those massive hoppers/compressors, I guess, to reduce man hours but they've gotta be heavy...tough to work for hours being extended out away from the body. Great work, thank you!

Excellent video, thanks

Looks really useful. I need to make one.

Brother D! You just plain ROCK man! This is Awesomeness! God Almighty definitely put in you that "Gift to Create" like He does👍👍

Hey y'all! This popped up again, so I watched it again. Ya know, while I was watching this time, I think I like the splatter pattern better than it smoothed flat. It brings some character to the panels, used for a shed or house siding of course. Hope y'all had a Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏❤🇺🇸👣🤗

Fantastic!!

Awesome! Thanky!

You both are awesome

Fantastic!

Awsome idea for fast diy stucko. I would prefer the full size tube and only fill half way if too heavy. Gives the sprayer more flexability especially if you dont have a helper to keep you stocked. Great video.

Adding an insert is an excellent idea - thanks! Have you thought about adding a small but useful side handle near the feed end? Maybe a loop 'D' handle? Think fence post tool where you have two opposite slid handles to ram the post. Just use smaller, lightweight handles...

Your wife asked a couple of questions that I had of my own she asked him right about the time I wanted him answered so that was good I liked seeing this side of you guys and also I thought the texture of the final product toward the end there look pretty good just by itself I don't think I would have troweled it out.

I really love your try and error. You don't see that in other videos! Thanks from Puerto Rico for sharing!

Love it, you could be my brother from another mother. DIY aircrete, hands on DIY R&D. Keep up the research. Video Suggestions, woodcrete, and polystyrenecrete. Cheers from Canada.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with community Diy

Thank you

You guys are so funny. Great info too!

Brilliant!

Do you lay awake at night thinking of these things?! I have watched a number of your videos and am totally impressed with the ideas you come up with and make work. This reminds me of a wall texture applicator, but on steroids. Way to go my man. Great video. Thank you, take care and stay well.

Maybe try a plastic drywall texture gun, same principal, not very expensive. Already built, adjustable spray pattern, low cfm, lighter weight, bigger hopper, with bigger opening (if it starts getting too heavy, don't fill it all the way).

I agree awesome! A great tool. I want one. Thanks. 👈😁👍💞

Another excellent tool from the DarMel Evolutionary Laboratory!

You are the most motivated youtuber I ever seen 🏆

Good job guys

great work guy!

Fantastic great to see more making of equipment 👍👍👍👍 keep it up now for the ice cream maker replacement 😂🤷

Just like my projects. I have to make modifications during the first run to get what I want. Improve as we go.

Very nice inventing there. You're a regular Da Vinci! I kinda like the texture pattern before you knock it down. Or you could just gently knock down the tops of the blobuoles and make a 1920s stucco pattern.... :)

Brilliant. What a great idea. I have been wanting to build a hot tub and was wondering how I could spray the cement mix onto the wire frame. Thanks for the answer.

Very Good!!!

Now put a handle on the black pipe to help control it better .. And possibly a 6 inch piece of longer pipe for spray nozzle for comfort .. Looks and works good ya'll .. Will this spray aircrete or just stucco ??

Hey Mr and Mrs HoneyDo Carpenter ...wow you did it again! Nice device and design! Good Job! I have been looking for something like that for a while! Keep up the good work! From St. George, Utah!

Great work

Great, Thanks

Awesome 😎

Great video

Nice invention m, perfect for my floating foam pontoon

Great job this is real product development and some pretty good suggestions in these comments. Keep this up and you will be rich selling the final product that must be molded in one plastic piece. Molds are expensive but you can make a piece like that ever 10 seconds and the get very cheap to make. Contact a plastic injection molding factory and let then in on the deal. You can get a nice royalty.

Cool man... I want its

I Love it! Your the bomb!

@Honey Do I made mine a while before this video. Use a 90 degree connection rather and drill a hole on the outer bend towards the exit nozzle end for air connection. This allows for a far better flow rate and you can use smaller and smaller ends that allows for better pressure buildup and flow through and you can easily add the hopper to the other end of the 90 degree piece. This way is much cheaper and much faster and allows you to fit a longer pvc "nozzle" on the exit hole to be able to aim better. So instead of 8-10 pieces this allows for 4 pieces only and is more efficient and less waste.

congratulation...well done.

I have thought of similar ideas with a feeder hose for the stucco. Either pressure or gravity fed. 5 gallon bucket on top of a tall ladder platform. Or a tripod lift, very moveable. A small verion of the cement buckets they use on high rise buildings with cranes. Might need a funnel cone on the bottom before the feeder hose. Pressue could happen from something like a cordless drill, allthread and a plywood plunger. Perhaps air or hydraulic driven also. Simplest would be gravity.

I think aircrete awesome I'd like to build a 1500 square foot house out of that stuff

Dude, you are amazing...

very cool

Get one pf those Huge Feeder Trucks to supply tour hand held applicator.... Easy Peasy ! Liked/Subscribed !

Wow.. it finally worked.. anyway 2 years ago I gos a stucco mortar blower that was manufactured in Belarus for lest than $100; single nozzle that is very much like what you built, but is disappeared from any source that I can find on the INTERNET, so yes, you show a good alternative.. I'm using it to spray on a layer of light type white wash (silica sand, vermiculite heavily limed with 1% borax mortar) based coating onto the basement rafters and limestone rock walls in an old farm house , for mold and fire retardant.

Hi HDC, Great make! Thumb up & shared! Can you talk / vid more on the compressor used? In your opinion, the least cost and effective for this setup? Thanks for inventing and sharing! Keep 'em coming!

What a great idea, I guess it will work with plaster too?

Thanks sir

Here’s a thought, I’m not sure it would work. If you attached wire lathe to the outside of your shipping container and then sprayed on your aircrete, wouldn’t that provide some needed insulation for your shipping container. You could then use your trowel to smooth it out for a nice finish. Let me know if you think that would work. I’m thinking of building a container home, and using aircrete blocks for the open spans. Thanks.

I have a scooping trowel that is deeper and would fill the tube with one heaping scoop. Probably two could be made three inch light weight PVC cut in from the side down the center and out the other side with a band saw. The scoop could be inserted in the reservoir and then pulled out and replaced by the other as it empties.

Well that’s pretty neat

Cool . didn't look like a fail to me . good job 👍

I truly enjoy your projects! Please use your safety glasses properly as you are an example of doing things correctly. Thanks again for the content 😊

You can buy one of these from a big-box store already made for $70. It is called a drywall texture gun. I've been using it for spraying mortar for 10 years now works great

Idea with refillable container was so clever and convenient! I thing that leaking occured when you have applied pressure. Maybe you should use in that place of connection pcv plumbing pipe connection piece with rubber seal - cartrige would fit better with a sealing and better stay in place. Then your oryginal idea wouldn't have to change.

really nice. maybe put some nozzle guard in the front to control the dispersement i think. well done.

Some time Lord willing we get out of quarantine in the PH we plan a visit to the US it’s then I want your foam mate and stucco machine ordered. Hopefully you will get a great Handel and scoop for the cement!

That was a great idea.. i wonder if you could thin out the mix, and use a paint roller to roll it on? Works with plaster, might be worth a try with this. May not be as fun though.. lol

Just liked and subscribed. Well deserved.

I'm going to do a mix of a straw bale and air crete house.

great team, well-done tree of life approved, it's the future brothers and sisters... 4real...lol

Hey like your spray gun ,it reminds me of a popcorn hopper we used to use to do popcorn ceilings .Could you retro fit a popcorn hopper ?

I will decide which size to get and then You will be sending one to San Angelo, Texas so that I can take it out to My fun zone in Luther, Texas and play with projects!

Perhaps allowing spray to set up a bit before trowelling, gets a nice Spanish Lace finish...Just Sayin' thanks for sharing...!

DARWIN ESTOU IMPRESSIONADO HOJE EU DESCOBRI SEU CANAL DESCOBRI SEUS PROJETOS OLHEI OUTROS E RETORNEI POIS SEI QUE O QUE VOCE TEM FEITO É EXATAMENTE ABRIR AS PORTAS DO CONHECIMENTO EU NÃO CONHECIA O AIRCRET APENAS O INDUSTRIAL NEM IMAGINAVA QUE PODERIA SER DY MAS SOU CURIOSO VOU CONSTRUIR KITNETS PARA RENDA COM AS MINHAS MÃOS GRATO POR ME DAR ESTA VISÃO

Try spraying a bit more uniformly and use a very light touch with your trowel to give a nice knock down look like a hand textured drywall finish. About half the air pressure will help to achieve this effect. With joint compound we only use about 15 psi with a very thin slurry.

You could use masking tape to draw brick patterns or other patterns

I flipped a bleach bottle over and installed my airsprayer nozzle and spray handle to it. Made another the same way and used an air chuck/sprayer. Scooped well and applied material like this. I'm all about helping others and not into charging anything for it. This is a pretty good idea. Only change I would make is to add a handle to the side of it for scooping material and holding it securely while using it. Not bad. The stucco sprayers are over priced. I got one for 150 and found that if I plugged 2 or 3 nozzle holes it works work well without a monster compressor. If you have a scaffold or something to hold your mix above you in a plastic drum (NOT DIRECTLY OVER YOU) you can install a flex hose to the bottom of the drum to the nozzle and cover a big area quick ! Swimming pools, roof tops, vaults walls. I used it for faux stone work. Sculpted Roof tops. Pool, waterfalls, etc. W

That looks good. How many layers do you need to do to stucco the outside of a garage?

Looks good have you tried to sandwich a piece of foam board in a panel for extra insulation
