Cut lath for the repair of the closet where my foot went through the cieling on the table saw. A 2x4 cut on the narrow side makes 1 ¾ inch strips that are perfect laths. Use an old lath to set the thickness and leave the pieces rough to allow the plaster to adhere. After mounting the lath to the stud spray or sponge it down with water so the wood does not suck all the moisture out of the plaster. Dowman’s Fixall is pretty tolerant and I found making it a little thicker made it stickier but you had to work fast and mix a lot of small batches.

- It's like a chinese puzzle, fitting the new pieces in with the old and blending it so it all looks old.
