Lathing stud walls with self-furred stucco paperback wire before stucco.
Waterproofing stud walls before stucco.

This stud wall required the use of fiberglass mesh added to help it hang as it’s two inches or more between the studs, and there is no backing. To see it applied in one coat of stucco, click here.

Some of the things you will learn in this video are.
How lathing stud wall with self-furred paperback wire is made possible and why.
The reason why self-furring paper and wire were used for?
When I first started in the stucco trade.
All homes were only studs.
Plywood backing didn’t become code until about 1980.
Thus, as workers, we had to stretch out the stucco netting.
If we didn’t, a wall that would generally require about a ton of stucco to plaster would now take a lot more due to the waste between the suds because of no solid backing.

FYI, the self-furred paperback wire has the paper infused or attached.

We’re using a self-furred paperback wire with paper attached, and paper and wire are integrated or entwined.
Thus you don’t lose too much stucco between the stud or in the field.

Why is this important? When you have the paper and wire integrated, the paper and wire are interwoven, so when stretching the stucco netting, the paper stretches with it.
That paper pull taunt acts as a backer or solid substrate when you stretch the paper.

You can stretch both paper and stucco wire together, making the stucco netting and paper much tighter on the wall. Therefore when applying stucco between the field, you won’t waste stucco between the field.

The stucco will generally be only one inch over a stud.
As that stud is not going to be pushed inwards.
However, if the paper and wire are loose, one can lose between 2 to 5 inches of excess stucco between each stud bay.

For more Lathing tips,

Thank you all for watching, and wishing all a great day!

Good evening Kirk and J, this video is 11 years old but it was top of my feed and I’m glad for it. Just finished dinner after a long day of work and there are few things I find more relaxing than watching the masters at work. Cheers gents. 🥃

Hi EnJay, I like that idea sit back have a cup of coffee, and let them watch to learn.
 About the only time I use 3.4 mesh is when I'm lathing a ceiling. It is not necessary here but it does work better than this 17 gauge, not sure my inspector would know what it was if he saw it though.
 Best wishes in Australia.

Hey Kirk. Im a plastering contractor on the central coat of California. I enjoy your videos. I know you kow this, I just wanted to mention to your viewers that, you can use line wire with 2 layers of 60 min paper instead of paper back.
Keep up the great work.

I have now watched about 15 of your videos. I do not know a hammer from a nail. I am just sitting here in my pajamas pondering the meaning of life. Enjoying your videos.

Hey Dusty, you could just use flex bond over it, it will stick without any wire. If you go two coats one eighth each total about a quarter inch thick it will be tough. Not strong like the 1 inch stucco but very little prep work involved besides getting the surface clean.
Best wishes,

Hey S1L3NTS0LD13R
Parge Coat is a term used by masons to define the thin coat of cementitious or polymeric mortar that is applied to concrete for refinement of its surface. I had to Google this above info, I’m and applicator in plastering and stucco but don’t know this product well. I would say apply a bonding agent if I were to guess.
Thanks for the comment and have a great day!
