This is the answer to the question What are the basic rules for installing gypsum stucco on facades?
Revision 1
Installation of rustic stones begins with the preparation of the facade. Features of installation are as follows:
Everything begins with a marking, then a groove is cut in the stone, the depth should be approximately 60-70% of the total thickness. It is better to make the grooves in woven gloves, it and the hands will protect and avoid damage to the stone and reduce the contamination of the facial surface.
Further installation of anchors. The wall is pre-moistened, and glue is applied. The glue is also applied to the rustic stones.
Once the stucco is installed, make sure it does not move (until the glue dries completely). Only after it is completely dry can the support slats be removed. Use plastic mounting wedges to hold the joints between the stones.
If you get glue on the stones while laying, wash it off with plain water.
