Instruction
1. The decorative stone is artificial and natural. In the first case it is simpler to work with it, difficulties will be caused by only its form. The real stone very heavy therefore if you use it, make sure that the surface which you will revet has sufficient bearing capacity. So, for example, if the wall is fragmentary covered with putty, it through some time can gradually collapse, on one losing stones.
2. Clean and degrease wall on which you will put stone. Putty roughnesses of surface, cover surface with primer. Let's wall dry out completely.
3. As the decorative stone has the uneven form, can be difficult at once to understand what drawing has to turn out on wall. While the wall dries, spread out material for facing on floor in that order in which you will fix on wall.
4. Part in polkhodyashchey tanks glue for stone. It is the best of all to use special structures for this material since they have bigger tenacity and elasticity. Dissolve dry mix with water in those proportions that are specified on packing.

The smooth movement distribute glue on the wall and level covering so that its thickness on all surface was identical. Apply the first stone (for the best coupling it is possible to moisten it with water) and press. It is possible to spread stone in any direction, but its most economic expenditure will be when laying since corner.
6. In process of advance of works you watch that glue did not get on decorative surface of stone. If it happened, it is better to wash away immediately it water (without cleansers and the materials scratching surface), otherwise to remove the dried-up structure will be very problematic.

As stone surface uneven, finish it is necessary to put very accurately and to wash away immediately water in case of hit on stone.
