Hello all, we’re showing some stucco mistakes in lathing, do’s, and don’ts.
This way, you can properly waterproof your stucco walls.
Lath is simply the first step in the stucco process.
First, you attach two layers of Grade D paper or two layers of 60-minute paper to protect the plywood substrate from rainwater damage.
Galvanized-steel-Stucco-Netting 17 or 18-gauge galvanized woven wire netting was used to reinforce paper for exterior Portland cement stucco walls.
You can use furring nails or more modern equipment, as we have been doing for forty years, ‘Staples,’ using an air-powered staple lath gun.
Remember, 7/8 of the leg has to be embedded into the stud, which usually means with plywood sheathing, your best bet is to buy inch-and-a-quarter crown staples with a width or crown of one inch to keep up with current inspections or codes.
Don’t over-staple the lath. Only ever 6 inches on studs.
Howdy all, in this video, I’m poking fun at my pal for doing his own lath and over-stapling with a few other common mistakes. At least he tried.
