Apply Mortar Scratch Coat

spent about 50 bucks the mortar is called an s-type mortar i don't know what the s-type means but that's what masonry guys are you supposed to use for this kind of stone veneer trying to get this thing to the consistency about peanut butter i'm not saying sour cream because people are like that's such a slavic thing of you to say yeah that's the way i was taught peanut butter sour cream or ketchup whatever you want to call it just don't eat it this next part is the easy part all you're going to do is going to try to fill all of these little honeycombs [Music] it's actually a lot easier to apply now that i'm realizing this top down because those honeycombs are facing down or facing up if we did it right [Music] now that our scratch coat is on we're going to start doing the score coat and what that is is we're actually going to use a trowel half inch trowel and we're going to start making these horizontal passes why well once they dry when the tile or not this tile the stone goes on it actually has a leverage point so it doesn't slide off the nice part is it's added strength the bad part is we're gonna have to let it cure for about 24 36 48 hours or just 48 hours why am i i don't know working in this whole summer heat 90 degree weather finally finally solution get you that hot dad summer tank top like a description you'll like it you won't have a heat stroke of course it's the last side that i finally figured out technique how to make it nice i come alive in the fourth quarter what i'm doing here is taking on a good amount making sure this is mixed on a little bit wetter side especially the weather conditions and then once it's caked on and it has the base coat on there then you can use your trowel to move it and you get a nice little grate like that fourth quarter baby that's what i'm for let's let it cure let the water moisture evaporate we'll come back in about two days to start stoning we'll get stoned do the stone stoning all of it so since
