1. Starter Track, Window/Door Head Flashing and Side Wall Step<br />

Flashing: install 2 inch (51 mm) wide diagonal splice strips of detail<br />

mesh at ends of head flashings. Install minimum 4 inch (100 mm)<br />

wide splice strips of detail mesh between back flange of starter track,<br />

head flashings and roof/side wall step flashing. Center the mesh so it<br />

spans evenly between the back flange of the Starter Track or flashing<br />

and the sheathing. Embed the mesh in the wet joint treatment and<br />

trowel smooth. Refer to Sto details 10.23b, 10.23c, 10.62a, 10.65a,<br />
