**Installing dimpled lath for proper waterproofing**.

Dimpled lath is a key component in ensuring proper waterproofing for your project. Follow these step-by-step instructions to install dimpled lath effectively:

**Step 1: Prepare the surface**.

Before installing the dimpled lath, make sure the surface is clean and free of any debris. This will ensure a smooth and even application of the lath.

**Step 2: Cut the dimpled lath to size**.

Measure the area where you will be installing the dimpled lath and cut the lath to the appropriate size using a utility knife or scissors. Make sure the lath fits snugly against the surface.

**Step 3: Apply the adhesive**.

Next, apply a generous amount of adhesive to the back of the dimpled lath. Make sure to spread the adhesive evenly to ensure proper adhesion to the surface.

**Step 4: Press the lath onto the surface**.

Carefully press the dimpled lath onto the surface, making sure it is fully adhered. Use a roller to ensure the lath is securely in place and any air bubbles are removed.

**Step 5: Secure the lath**.

To further secure the dimpled lath, use fasteners such as screws or nails around the edges and in the center of the lath. This will help prevent any movement or shifting of the lath once installed.

**Step 6: Seal the seams**.

After installing the dimpled lath, make sure to seal any seams or joints with a waterproof sealant. This will help create a seamless barrier against water penetration.

**Step 7: Test for leaks**.

Once the dimpled lath is installed and sealed, perform a water test to check for any leaks. This will ensure that the waterproofing system is working effectively and there are no areas of concern.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can install dimpled lath for proper waterproofing and protect your project against water damage.
