Technical Specifications

5. INSTALLATION
Application (Cont.)
• Keep mortar from the unit face during the installation, If on
the veneer stone face, do not allow mortar to dry on the unit
surface, in most cases, allow the mortar to dry slightly to
become “crumbly”, then remove with a brush, whisk broom,
steel wool, or trowel with a light circular motion. If mortar is
removed while very wet, it is likely to smear.
 Allow the stone veneer mortar to cure for a minimum of 12
hours prior to application of grout. Refer to ProSpec
®
Stone
Veneer Joint Grout (“Step 3” in ProSpec
®
Stone Veneer
System) for proper joint grout application instructions.
Clean up
 Clean all tools with soapy water before mortar dries.
Limitations
 Install in accordance with local building codes and applicable
ASTM standards.
 Do not cover expansion joints with mortar.
 Individual stones should be less than 7 lbs. (3.8 kg) each.
 Prevent work from occurring on the opposite side of walls to
which the stone veneer is being applied within 48 hours
during and after the installation.
 Do not adjust veneer units after mortar takes its initial set or
the bond will be permanently broken.
 Do not soak stone or tile.
Curing
Allow 24-36 hours minimum cure time. Strength will increase
over the following 28 days. If conditions are very hot, dry, or
windy, curing with a gentle mist of water will help prevent
premature drying and improve mortar strength. A drape of
plastic over the wall will help retain moisture; if the surface
begins to appear dry, remove the plastic, mist/moisten the
surface and replace the plastic.
Coverage
 40 lb. (18.1 kg) bag: Approximately 30-33 sq. ft. (2.8-3 m
2
) of
adhered veneer.
