Mounted stone with a special mortar or adhesive plitochnog.

Step 1

By stacking a decorative stone surface should be prepared,
of dirt, dust, old coating and primed.
If the surface is very dry, or you perform work at a temperature of + 30C or higher, it should always moisturize.
This is necessary for better adhesive adhesion. .

Step 2
The glue is prepared in accordance with the attached instructions in quantities, which you can use while working. adhesive properties are maintained for 2 hours.

way of 2
Carcass method recommended in cases of large curvature surface.
