What happens here
With the concrete apron prepared, the next step involves applying thin-set mortar to the surface. Prepare the thin-set mortar by mixing it with water according to the manufacturer's specific instructions until it reaches a consistent, workable paste-like consistency. Using a trowel, spread an even layer of the mixed thin-set mortar onto the concrete apron where the paver coping will be placed. It is advisable to work in small, manageable sections to prevent the mortar from drying out before the coping can be set.
