Application Procedure

Prior to installation, ensure back of veneer units are clean of dust, laitance, loose concrete crumbs and any excess film that could impede bond. Porous and excessively dry substrates such as cement board, masonry or stucco may need to be wetted to avoid excessive absorption, allow to dry to the touch. Verify wetting requirements with the veneer manufacturer.

For adhered stone, thin brick and manufactured stone masonry veneers installations, use a gauging trowel to key a thin coat of UltraBond Veneer Mortar Adhesive to cover entire back of the veneer units. Spread additional mortar onto the back of the skim coated veneer sufficient to completely fill the space between the veneer and the substrate when compressed against the substrate. Press the mortar covered back of the veneer against the substrate at the desired final position. Slide the unit roughly 1 -1.5” (25-38mm) diagonally from the desired final position and back into the desired position while maintaining even pressure. This should be done in such a manner as to squeeze the mortar to fill the entire space between the veneer unit and the substrate, allowing excess mortar to extrude on all sides around the veneer unit. Clean excess extruded mortar with trowel and spread onto the next veneer unit to be installed.

Alternate method for thin brick, tile, calcium silicate unit and stone installations: key UltraBond Veneer Mortar Adhesive into the substrate thoroughly. Then, comb on additional mortar with the notched side, use 1/4″ x 3/8″ (6 mm x 9 mm),1/2″ x 1/2″ (12 mm x 12 mm) loop or notch trowel. Back butter all thin brick, veneer units 8″ x 8″ (200 mm x 200 mm), ¾ (19 mm) loop trowel or larger to provide full bedding of the veneer. Place veneer into the mortar and adjust to desired position. Clean any excess mortar on sides of stone or tile veneer.

Note: Use proper sized notched trowel to ensure full bedding of the stone veneer. Spread only enough mortar for maximum coverage with tile within 15–20 minutes. Trowel notch size determined by contractor, size of veneer and job-site coverage. Adjust as necessary. Check mortar for complete coverage by periodically removing veneer unit and inspecting the transfer onto substrate and back of the stone veneer. The size and weight of the veneer will vary. Due to job site conditions and differences in finish material types; ledger boards, shims, wedges or spacers may be required to maintain finish levels and heights.

Grouting/Pointing (if required) – When required, point installation after a minimum of 24 hours curing time at 70°F (21°C). With an approved premium grout or mortar.

Clean Up—Tools and equipment can be cleaned with soapy water while the UltraBond is still wet.
