Stone Veneer on Foundation DIY with Adhesive

[@darrenwebb9312]

Do you have a link to the product you bought at Lowes? The stone veneer?

[@jnash5137]

I agree w/you regarding the stone, it really makes the house pop, gives the finished appearance and is beautiful. Jeannette

[@michaeldubya]

In the process of building a barndominium just west of Waco, Texas. It in limestone country, I found a limestone veneer and was looking for a better way to adhere. Looks like you answered my question. You earned a subscriber.

[@dand7052]

Well done. Thanks for your straight forward, no BS approach

[@CooperML]

WOW!!! The stone looks great with the house color! Good job, guys!!

[@T.McD.]

Hey Doc, you vision for the farm house is outstanding. From how it looked when you purchased it to now is just remarkable. Good work!

[@garygermain909]

Looks great.I have been a mason for over 25 years.The key is use the right motor not the pre mixed motor were you add water but the kind you mix yourself with sand.Its all about the right sand to motor ratio.I have never had a issue.If there is more sand to motor ratio you can rake it out with your fingers after it's set up.But the way your doing it is fine.More than one way to skin a cat.Keep up the good work.

"I don't trust anything" - this is very good advise, I've tried new products like this in the past and have had serious problems. Best to wait and see if they're still around in 5-10 years. Also, that's extremely slow installation in comparison to a veneer mortar installation. Depending on the climate and area you live in, there are bonding/glue agents that go over etched paint and form a monolithic surface in a matter of an hour or two and are incredibly strong. We've been installing stone this way for over 30 years and have never had a project fail. In fact a home we installed stone veneer on 12 years ago, the home owner wanted to change the stone to a modern look. It was an absolute nightmare getting the old stone off.

Great job Doc, looks amazing. Always look forward to watching your videos. Bring on spring and yard work again

[@daves3819]

Looks great! You could save yourself a lot of time by using a 2x4 on edge to lay your first layer of stone on.

[@tommillehan]

Could you please give of the color and manufacture of this stone, it is beautiful.

[@Mike-ys7rh]

The stone looks amazing-great job!

[@stephencali8902]

Looks amazing and I like your thinking on the double adhesive

[@dannypowers4995]

You got to paint your storage shed the same color as the house, when you have time. That red looks good. Great choice of color.

[@FLOWERSANDSUNSHINE22]

It DOES look amazing! Great decision. Nice job!

[@chrislambert5249]

Looks beautiful Doc. The earth tones look outstanding next to the red paint. Sounds like you didn't get your Buck 🦌 this year. Well maybe next year.

[@maxg9999]

Hey brother I’m a mason and I gotta say that’s a classy looking veneer. Cool way to apply it too I would’ve never thought of glue. Great job brother. I got some videos on stonework. Really nice job on that foundation!

[@kennethhughley1611]

I built a mailbox out of similar stone, it looked great and was so much fun!

[@michaelhartman851]

It's important if you use mortar use the right stuff, I generally use spec mix with a good ratio of adhesive added for two reasons, first is for strength of bond and secondary it gives the mudd some flexibility and waterproofing properties, I do a test each time I'm laying where I install a stone 2 inch by 2 inch take lunch and try to remove it when I get back, even after an hour or so it takes a hammer to remove it and it's bond strength is impressive.

[@carebear927]

Exactly how I would have approached glueing the stone on too!!! Having a contingency approach helps eliminate any problems down the road!!!!

[@jaimechacon3361]

Doc , I've also have used Landscaping Adhesive with great results.

[@michaellenheiser3157]

When done I think you’re going to forget about the beach house… Great work

[@mojo6778]

I thought it looked great. Excellent choice of stone color!

[@Spokenfan]

That looks Beautiful 👏. Our home is painted concrete block and i qould love to do a stone or beixk finish like this on the whole exterior. Any recommendations? Thank you for sharing 👍. Stay safe healthy and happy ✝️ 🇺🇸

[@mikekisch5563]

sold. im building a concrete house with rocks embeded and some of them didnt bond well in the pour. i think i will try this out thanks for the video.

[@demoscratos4577]

Beautiful job guys !! That house looks amazing. Subscribed .

[@bidmasonryllprandyburke6986]

Have you ever tried polymer modified mortar? It’s really good stuff. We had to take off stone after stuck it would literally take of the cement board with it. I’ve laid it on CMU, and wire lath also but never had to take any off.

[@josephrottina1901]

ARDEX MORTAR is really good stuff.👍🏻🇺🇸

[@Breakingball1]

Wow what a difference!

[@d.a.4121]

The project looks great and thanks for the tips

[@ricbailey170]

I’ve seen Rosetta Stone used a lot as well.

[@christopherbates6841]

What kind/ brand of stone veneer did you use

[@tracytuten5116]

That stone looks great with that house paint color! Would love to know how that adhesive holds up a few years down the road. We're starting a build this month and looking at saving $$$ where ever we can but don't want to use products that need replacing in a short time span.

[@aussie2uGA]

I agree adhesives have come a long way. Look at most new cars now and you'll see the seams are glued instead of the long welding beads of yesteryear.

[@DMUSA536]

You also need ear plugs. The red in the brick really brings this together

[@tom1966mac]

Its never a good idea to cover the vents, but I agree it looks great.

[@johnnygriffith2838]

Great compliment!

[@Hercislas]

Look way better, what about a sealer?

[@bxr9264]

Thank you! Can this adhesive be used on stucco?

[@geraldbrown686]

How much would something like this cost looks amazing I have blocks foundation

[@daviddellariva]

How’s the longevity of this adhesive?

[@seeharvester]

That's what I'd like to know.

[@Mkmike70]

Should have put some sills in tho still looks nice

[@WhittyPics]

Looks great Doc

[@luckynook]

Looks amazing!

[@bdyt]

Stone from Lowes, brand name?

[@dennyoviedo4884]

Beautiful work 😊

[@sandieweatherup]

I wish they made that stuff in a small tube. I could use some to repair my concrete pavers and planters.

[@adamghazal9204]

Great job. Thanks Doc

[@robertjerge9627]

impressive! my foundation is cement block with cement veneer. will the 'sticky stone' stick to the veneer?

[@scotsmanofnewengland7713]

Nice video and very informative. Would sandblasting the old foundation be an alternative and faster ? Thanks again

[@charlesbelser7249]

Please answer the people's questions? What brand of veneer is that? Do you still recommend not over other brands?

[@22doulos22]

15:38 Please give the exact name and a source for the instant tack/insta-tac (or whatever) product, the one that sets in 5 seconds for interior use. Thanks!

[@mingching2480]

Can one use Sticky Stone on hardiplanking around a modular house?

[@cynthiakunelis4996]

Can we use this method on an inside old red brick fireplace? Thank you

[@Terry11111]

Looks great 👍

[@preformancemustang]

Nice. Where you get the stone from?

[@bottomup12]

He said Lowe’s

[@conradcomics]

Yeah, for some reason those drip edges are always beat to heck!

[@carebear927]

Looks Awesome!!!

[@bonanzatime]

Is that crawl space behind that block foundation wall? I hope so

[@midgeta6864]

Thanks Doc. Good info.

[@robbobcat7286]

looks Great!

[@garrett892]

Curious how well the adhesive holds up. Would be very easy to repair I suppose. Time will tell

[@brianbrinegar6086]

Great job!!

[@adrianbeca8542]

For inside installation can i use the polymer modified mortar ( like the tile cement) ? Thank you.

[@Mkmike70]

Sticky stone is the best expensive but worth it you actually skip two steps wiring it and scratch coat

[@ernieforrest7218]

Well first off this is a thin veneer stone, not conventional stone. Wether adhesive applied veneer stone will last as well as traditional stone layed in mortar will take time to tell. I dont personally think that the lick and stick method will make it. As for the moisture getting behind it, isnt that why you installed the flashing under the siding? Mind you now i agree that the ( fake ) stone we see so much of today looks very nice. But like so many other things today we will just have to wait a few decades to find out how it holds up.

[@jeffpruden3234]

There is a reason that metal lath is on back of stone ........its for mortar adhesion!!! Use the right mortar and it's not an adhesive problem.

[@wavehopper1]

What cut off wheel did you use?

[@hansslane7080]

Asthetics definitely helps to sell.

[@goodllookin1722]

We have used this stone, falls apart when you cut it also

[@johnhamilton9229]

Are you gonna rent it?

[@goodllookin1722]

We used mesh and mortar

[@blakefaust7162]

How do you think this product would work on plywood

[@migueljrcaceres]

Nice!!!

[@JohnnyRingo1863]

🤩 Nice 👍

[@timotoole8725]

What's the cost

[@ITRR2306]

So, over time water will get in between the stones, then when it freezes, it will pop off. I'm not a fan of mortarless stone.

[@HowTowithDoc]

Actually the opposite is true. No water can be retained when doing this method.

[@mikem6743]

WHO TOOK THE BLAE GAURD OFF THAT ANGLE GRINDER! LOL!

[@bradb5044]

Can’t beat some type s mortar

[@tcap7917]

next time lace the corners

[@Imwright720]

it’s crazy what they charge for it.

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

Yup.dry pack.

[@stonesmasher8369]

You haven't laid any of those break yet have you please tell me you're not

[@thomassantelli6656]

Laticrete platinum 254 or 255 works faster and is waterproof.

[@tedk2166]

The corners reveal that it’s fake stone

[@mikehouser5430]

First

[@laserfalcon]

What was the stone brand ?

[@hankkalb9267]

Looks great doc

[@brianthornton5345]

Looks great 👍
