![]() ![]() Just like my magnet trick, but a bit more refined than tying dental floss around a magnet. ![]() If the hammer seems to bounce back, you may be over a wood lath. Position the nail at a 45-degree, upward angle and gently tap the nail. The masking tape gives the surrounding plaster extra support and minimizes flaking and cracking. This simple stud finder is a powerful magnet that pops into place when a stud fastener is detected. Place a small piece of masking tape on the area in which you intend to hammer the nail. You could also try a cool product called StudPop which takes the magnet trick to the next level. Keep in mind there are some spaces between lath vertically so if you’re not having much luck try moving the magnet up or down a bit so that it is over top one of the hidden nails. The reason this works is because the wood lath is nailed to the studs, and the magnet is attracted to those nails. It has to be a strong magnet for this to work, so those floppy pizza magnets won’t cut it. Every so often, the magnet will stick to the wall a bit on the stud location. The furnace used to measure fire resistance displays a fixed fire growth rate, probably ‘fast’ for the first 10-15 minutes and ‘medium’ thereafter. Dangle the magnet against the wall and slowly move it horizontally across the wall. A slow-growing fire will take much longer to damage the fabric, or generate untenable conditions on one or both sides of a separating element, than a fire that is growing ultra-fast. ![]() It works every time! Grab the strongest magnet you have and tie a piece of dental floss or string around it. This will work with switch and plug receptacle boxes. This is my favorite method and the reason is simple. This is a great method to install a plug electrical box into lath and plaster. ![]()
