Dude, thank you for taking the time to capture this and put it on KZbin! Very insightful!

[@markfowler7171]

Nice Job. The knife at the back of the rapid tacker is not as dangerous most think. This is because it gets a little gummy from the asphalt paper. Sharp enough to cut paper. You must be in So Cal. I go across country and in the east coast they hate woven wire. Keep up the good work . Mark, executive Director the Stucco Manufacturers Assoc.

Nice job 👍🏽 enjoyed watching this video, I’m a carpenter, and I always like to watch other trades work their magic on the field. It’s amazing how we all work together in order to create homes. Keep it up 💯

I did a lath job had it inspected, the inspector made me remove the staples and use furring nails.

Nice video bro ! I really enjoyed it . I wonder if this is the same procedure to install bricks instead of stucco ?

[@wildmanofborneo]

Hi nice video. Can you please explain why there's a need to do separate scratch and brown coats? Why can't you just place a 3/4" thick single coat?

I feel life is a little easier now that I've watched this. Good job!

[@sparkey4293]

For just a small job I’m going to use furring nails cause I don’t. Have a pneumatic stapler not worth it to buy or rent for a 6’ by 8 ‘. Area. I wasn’t sure how many though I know enough to nail it were the wires are intertwined and every 6” on the studs but everything else I’m just guessing and worried about getting embarrassed at inspection.

[@pcharliealex]

The caulking goes first and then the wire for better water proof and better stucco grip on the wire.

[@RuelitasCR]

The galvanized nails with 1/2” of paper on the , they dont use anymore?

[@jfarinacci0329]

Good advice. Thank you.

[@Zest4life890]

I've seen one flashing sheet applied to new builds here in Arizona, guess were being cheated out of proper Lathing

[@NicK-fk8rr]

I see flashing all the time, it depends on the home builder. Lennar never uses flashing for electrical

[@julioctorres6450]

Can you educate me please. Why not to use cement board or hardy board and then put the plaster? is that a faster option or possible?

[@Concordeagle]

This video is so satisfying to watch. I don't know anything about construction or what all this is for, just popped up on my feed and I couldn't stop watching. Liked and subscribed.

[@restandsuccess]

Is it necessary to put calking on each staple?

[@adamcanales198]

Looks good chief. Thank you for sharing your craft. Keeper Goin!!

[@surfpanther]

Is that paper similar or the same thing as tar paper for a roof with shingles? If not could you use 30 lb felt or 15 lb felt. I imagine you wouldn't want to use Tyvek LOL

[@adriandeleon8640]

Little annoyed I didn’t watch this before I put my stucco up, great tips

[@valbertbadano4763]

Is that the same process for adobe? I assume maybe for the staples you would use a nail with a tang? I don't know jack sh-t, and I gotta fix my wall in NM.

[@victormedina3459]

Wondering where is part 2? need to know if can you spray stucco after??

[@feroshus1servin522]

So sick I want to try and remodel my man cave but have little experience in this part of construction. I think I might try it looks like fun. I love learning new things

[@beastmode334]

Very helpful thank you. I'm kind of confused on the lath nails though. Should I use the furring nails or does the stucco adhere when the lath is flat??

[@sdmustang21]

I think most stucco lathe nowadays comes prefurred. No need to use the nails with the cardboard bushings

[@marilynnewhouse1933]

Nice video, informative with detail. Do you ever show a close up and more detail of cutting around windows and door frames? Thanks for making it look easy!

[@westsiderrider4937]

Dam good job, but if you wanna make life really easy, get yourself some hog-legs shears and a lathing hatchet. Otherwise very nice job, you should be in the Local9109

[@pandaplastering2466]

I agree ☝️

[@franciscojavierestrada7585]

what gauge chicken wire do you used for that small shed? 20 or 17 gauge? it is it one coat, two or three of stucco

You don’t have to use stucco molding?

Why do shear walls need 2 layers?

[@juanitawatson596]

What is yhe thing you attached to bottom of wall?

[@rockgelio10]

My stapler only goes 1/4”wide but 1 1/2” length do you think it can work for a small project?

[@saullangarica6015]

You have to learn how to use the hog legs to cut around the windows much faster, not using a lather’s hammer or hatchet , use double ply paper to make job easier and quicker, could of done cleaner work but I can respect a fellow tradesmen everyone has their own style. We’re from the Bay Area

[@robertcoutts926]

What happens when the nails rust?

[@PacketElf]

Great video! The time lapse was a perfect way to show the whole process!

[@bac4998]

Should there be a weep screed above my garage door?

[@pandaplastering2466]

Around garage doors they usually install J metal or stucco mold.

[@Re5ist_ance]

Hi there .. what kind of nail did you use on the wire? Was it a U shaped nail? or something different. Thanks.

[@dav3eii725]

What is the differences between a two step paper and lath vs the paper with the lath already attached?

[@MaestroShket]

Where are your casing beads and metal flashing around & above opening? )))

[@Factory928AC]

Man this was cool to watch. This was one trade I’ve always wanted to do but instead I was a stucco labor finisher and I hated it . I lathe twice and I loved it. I remember cutting the window wire and using the sharp end of my hammer to push in the ends. I wish you would have shown the j trim around the door and explain hot it works and also that some people use t&g foam and tape. I also wish you would have shown the different style of corner bead . I remember eye balling the top of the corner bead and the bottom then using a string line to get it straight . This video brought back memories 👌🏾 oh also, for those of you who don’t know , they make double layer paper 🤙🏾

[@Govinda16108]

@Freki Bodgaedir what name of paper? Label, type?

[@micho-videos4673]

Your hammer is for sheet rock, I prefer to put fortiflash aroud the Windows instead of doble paper, ecxept the bottom of the window, where are the lather snips? God job men.

[@wulfclaw4921]

Straight up , Great instructional ! Thanks bro ! Wulfy

[@ngoctran8508]

May I ask do we need to go double the paper whole house or just the first (lowest) layer only? Thanks in advance

[@norbertcardenas1876]

Great video- you make it look easy. Awesome stuff- looks like you may be down in Florida?

[@НатальяГолованова-з5н]

What's the brand and model of your pneumatic stapler?

[@petekobraoutdoors7324]

Hey, I'm just asking if you were going to put some plaster stop/ J trim around the window and door? It's not advised to go directly to the window and door frame with the mud. This should also be around the bottom. This will protect the trim and give a cleaner look. I use red tuck tape or rubber seal to seal around doors and windows when needed. Im just suggesting nothing personal. I am plasterer 1963😊 London ONTARIO Canada

Its a bit different how we do lath in northern california, but its also up to the boss how he wants his lath guys do the lath and its a bit different

[@robertroberson3962]

Can you use tyvek instead of the black paper? I don't care about it passing inspections

[@ozzyel24]

Quest for anyone that does lath......is it true that you have to silicone every staple...please someone reply I'm in a bing with an stp inspector

[@billlevassiur5891]

You don't use furring nails to hold the wire away from the wail ?

[@ernieforrest7218]

best to use double head nails when installing the wood straight edge to the corners after the first base coat has beed applied. That way it can be tightly applied and still easily removed. The wood is best being one pc, 1x4” size is good and the length should be from the bottom to the top of the corner. It isnt necessary to plumb the piece with a level when installing it, just follow the wall and allow for the thickness of the second base coat.

[@gejuarez4848]

Hi, I'm applying stucco to a wall that meets on an outside corner to a wall that has siding. How do I transition the corner from the stucco to the siding? Do they make a metal corner flashing that transitions from 7/8 to 1/2? Your advice would be greatly appreciated. P.S. Great video!

you can use a J metal trim.

How come you put the black paper on towards the roof after doing the wire about 3/4th way? Why not just finish the paper before starting to put the wire up?
