Mark the studs 16" on Hints Older stucco homes- Stucco is sometimes very hard and the hardened steel nails have difficultypenetrating the stucco. It is helpful to hit the wall with a hammer, where you plan to drive the nail,to soften the stucco before nailing.

8 Hard concrete- Footings or poured in place concrete, use 1/2" to 3/4" hardened steel nails. Whendriving short nails, hold them in place with heavy paper. Nail driving- When driving hardened steel nails into concrete one or two hard blows to the nail isall that is necessary, that one extra blow after the nail is set will sometimes break it loose. Hot Weather- At temperatures above 80 F, wet wall to promote better bonding of the stone tothe is stucco?Normally stucco consists of 3 layers. The first layer called a scratch coat is a layer of cementusually 1/4" to 3/8" thick with a rough surface.

9 The second layer called a brown coat is a smooth leveling layernormally 3/8" to 3/4" thick. The third layer called a color coat is very thin no more than 1/8" thick consisting ofcement and color.
