What happens here
The presenter begins applying the Craft Masonry Veneer stone panels to the cement board. He pre-wets the back of each stone panel with a spray bottle to prevent the dry stone from absorbing moisture from the mortar too quickly, which would compromise the bond. He then applies a layer of mortar (VBM brand) to the back of the stone and presses it firmly onto the cement board. He uses a speed square and level to ensure the stones are aligned and level, particularly focusing on corner pieces to maintain a square and aesthetically pleasing finish. He emphasizes the importance of leveling each piece and ensuring proper adhesion. For cutting stone, he uses a wet tile saw (Ridgid brand) and an angle grinder.
Goal: Cover the cement board with stone veneer for a finished aesthetic.
