Metal Lath:
Do not grind the metal lath as when preparing the surface to receive fiberglass. This removes the rust protection from the lath and may allow it to rust. Also do not pound in the staples as this can remove the protective coating around the staple.
Metal Lath Cement:
After trowling an area you can spray a small amount of water onto the wet cement and smooth trowel it for a smoother finish. DO NOT OVERWATER OR CRACKING WILL OCCUR!

Mike,

I recently did a flagstone overlay job in Capo Beach and just finished a 3 car garage chip system in Laguna Niguel.  I used 5205 and 5073 on both.

GREAT STUFF!  They are a bit more expensive and time consuming (2 passes on sealer instead of 1 with 5000) but they produce a much more even surface with none of the shine hot spots as with 5000.

I just wish the 5073 had a pot life like 45 minute pot life of the 5205.
Stem walls in a garage take the most of time to coat and they both need to be coated with 5205 and 5073.  I'm mixing up smaller batches of 5073 for stem walls but it would be much nicer if they were both consistent since they work together.

Again, thank you for these two great new products.
