This video explains how to hang corners and arch aid, beads, or casings before stucco.
This is one of the most time-consuming things when lathing.
And most critical, you must be able to hang them straight.
Note this can be done by eye or without using a level.
In fact, I have never used a level, ever, you just look at both sides and try not to bend the corner’s eyeball it, then attach it.

Stucco lathing failures before stucco

By 48 Comments

Stucco lathing failures before stucco, Lathing tips do your own lath.
Hello all, we’re showing some stucco mistakes in lathing, do’s and don’ts, waterproofing your stucco walls right.
Lath is simply the first step in the stucco process.
First, you attached 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 stucco 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.

Were is shown here providing advice for these too often lathing mistakes. If you’re going to take on the task of lathing, spend at least a couple of hours before on our site and type in on our channel, ‘how to lath’ for Lathing tips before attempting to lath your own work.

Old Kirk says, material knowledge is 70% of being a well rounded plasterer, takes about 10 to 14 years to be well rounded with extended know how.
The other 30% is application, this take about 10 years on average. I have over 30, I can do this stuff very effectively as it’s easy with time in.

Install stucco netting over weather resistive barrier

Install stucco netting over weather resistive barrier

Does the metal lath have to be perfect? No! But do the best you can!

Hello everyone, on this rooftop I explain how to install the lath before stucco. I am saying that if the wire is not perfect it’s o.k. as long as the papers watertight and the wires furred properly and tied in
to itself (overlapped) at least 2 inches or so, whereas there are no cold joints.
How to install stucco netting over a weather resistive barrier, It best to be neat, however you can use pieces and parts to achieve the same thing without compromising the integrity of the lath.
I had 2 people in the last month ask me if it was absolutely necessary to attach stucco netting with one piece and perfectly horizontal. (No it’s not) but do the best you can.
