CUTTING
Cutting straight lines and curves is best done using long nosed tin snips. FastStone+ can also be cut with a
metal shear, wet saw, or table saw with carbide blade.
<No intersecting link>
Stone-Veneer can be worked with any commercially available tools (DIY tools). Sawing, drilling, milling,
cutting, bending, pressing. For industrial processing we recommend using diamond blade tools due to strong
wear on wood blades.
FastStone+ on concrete or mortar cement plastered wall or Gypsumboard Exterior or interior: EXPOXY based
grouts available in the market with exibility component are recommended. Contact local dealer /engineer
of the area visiting website www.mapei.com or www.laticrete.com or local supplier of similar products. We
strongly recommend to seal the Stone with Lithon sealers.
HAND ROLLERS
A hand roller is recommended to remove air between the FastSTone+ sheet and substrate. To properly roll out
trapped air, start in the middle of a sheet while rmly rolling to the edge. Do not press too hard while rolling
as this may cause back-lled areas to push adhesive out and leave an air void. Proper back-lling and good
rolling techniques will result in a solid, hard surface.
TILING, GROUTING & JOINING
FastStone+ can be used to create a tiled eect by leaving a grout joint between cut pieces. Sheets may also
be butt-jointed for the look of a smaller seam. Due to the thin nature of FastStone+ a 1/8” to ¼” grout joint
will produce better results. Tests show the use of water based epoxy and acrylic premixed grout work well
to ll between the sheets. These grouts are available in several colors to match the existing decor. If desired,
a deeper grout joint can be achieved by removing material just under the grout joint area with a grinding or
scrapping tool. Modied grout and caulking grout can also be used.
SUBSTRATE
FastStone + can be applied to MDF, HDF boards, Styro Foam sheets, melamine, mortar plasetered walls,
drywall, plywood, acrylic or other plastic sheets. In some indoor and most outdoor applications expansion
and contraction must be equal to prevent delamination. A exible adhesive may be considered in this case.
Concrete and masonry substrates must be at least 28 days old. Hydrostatic pressure conditions and vapor
transmission cannot exceed 3 lbs. per 1,000 sq. ft. (1,36 kg per 92,9 m2 ) per 24 hours using a calcium
chloride test (reference ASTM F1869), and retained moisture should be less than 2.5%. Above mentioned
companies are multinational and the local dealer can be contacted. Websites can be visited for recommended
glues for ber glas polyester resin sheet application on MDF and HDF. Companies may recommend white
emuslion polymer glue or polyurethane foaming glue or polyurethane double component non foaming glue
depending on the hot press machine available with the user.
