I bought some thin flagstone and covered the wooden pillars on the front of my hose. They were normally wrapped with rough cedar boards but after a year they looked like crap. I treated the cedar boards then wrapped over the top with concrete boards then used construction adhesive to attack the flagstone. They slid around a lot but some duct tape worked. It would be nice to have something like this as long as its strong enough.

Sticky Stone works well with wood and concrete board. The recommendation is to allow the bottom leveling row to cure for 15 minutes and then continue to install the rows above with no delay.

I am going to be replacing a vynil siding on the front of my house and I am planning on doing a stone veneer. I like the potential of this product. I am wondering if you are starting from a concrete base to rest the stone on, do you lay a bottom bead? I also am trying to think about how you prevent the gaps that termites find thier way into.

[@PaverToolInnovators]

If you are going an exterior application I would suggest screwing hardie-backer or concrete board to existing plywood and then use a water proofing product (Ardex 8+9 is a good product) and tape and seal of all the seams. So you don’t introduce moister to the plywood. Then you would adhere your stone to this. I would screw a temporary 2x4 on the bottom to hold first rows of stone and remove when you are done.

It seems if what you are featuring the stone veneer adhesive. What stone did you use?

[@PaverToolInnovators]

instone panels

[@andrewshenton6541]

What about painted block or painted concrete

[@markadler8968]

The only application this product is suitable for is the panel like stone you are installing. If you were to use this on a traditional thin stone veneer it would be nothing but a gigantic mess trying to glue each individual stone into place as well as the fact that most stonework requires a mortar joint anyways. Also the way the glue is applied onto the back of the stone allows water to collect in the voids between the adhesive and could be problematic in the future.

[@PaverToolInnovators]

We find that Sticky Stone is the most effective with large format veneer or panel stone. The purpose of vertical beads 3" apart is so that when it rains the water can make its way out from underneath the stone without being trapped.

[@dalerounds4036]

It looks like a very simple to apply alternative,but even with vertical lines of adhesive I wonder how well it would hold after 5 years of freezing and thawing cycles of here in northern New York Adirondack region?

[@relax427]

Alright all, this is a first to me, but after tracking down a distributor near me, I ordered a dispenser and 4 tubes for a stone veneer job. Figured I'd give it a test. Ended up being 170 for 4 tubes and a dispenser, so actually not that crazy expensive since the dispenser will be used again. Install was painless, went well. Dispenser is actually pretty nice, high quality metal and plastic where it makes sense. Would be awesome if tips weren't used up (sticky stone hardens in the tip- a good cleaning would let you re-use it). Assuming it holds up, I am changing my ways.

[@danpacetti1947]

How would you apply to a river rock thin veneer stone ?

[@PaverToolInnovators]

You would apply it the same way as this video shows with a vertical bead from top to bottom of the stone every 3 inches apart.

[@ernieforrest7218]

Well educate me as to what happens when moisture finds a way to build up between the wall and the veneer stone surface, and then freezes? There are as you know roll on adhesives that are intended to be used as a bonding agent on things like painted block walls so stucco can be applied on those painted surfaces. But dont try that in parts of the country where temperatures go below freezing. Mind you now that drilling a series of holes in solid rock and filling them with water, is a method used for splitting the stone. Such is the power of freezing water.

[@PaverToolInnovators]

The installation method of Sticky Stone is to use vertical beads 3" apart which allows enough air space for moisture to dissipate. This prevents moisture to build up between the wall and veneer stone.

[@onetruesoldiervt3686]

What happens when the glue expands and contracts due to freeze and thaw does the glue eventually get brittle and lose its hold over time

[@ernieforrest7218]

Stone, like other things including Brick, is layed in mortar, and lasts for very long periods of time. It also requires well trained people to do it. This type of a product isnt intended to be a long lasting solution, simply meant to look good , be economical, and require less skilled people to install it.

[@bethhixson2017]

It looks like you appled to painted cinder block. Can you use it on painted cinder block?

[@PaverToolInnovators]

Sticky Stone will last as long as the paint lasts (typically 30 years). For longer lasting application remove the paint to reveal the concrete surface.

[@hycinth5371]

Will it hold in cold climate, like MN, WI, etc?

[@PaverToolInnovators]

Be sure to apply in temps above 32 °F (0 °C) to ensure proper curing. Sticky stone is designed to withstand freeze and thaw cycles after the proper curing process has finished.

[@DavidLCangelloMDFACSNewYork]

Might have missed it- may I ask what you prepped the painted bricks with before applying the sticky stone and veneer?

[@PaverToolInnovators]

For testing purposes we pressure washed the painted surface thoroughly to see how it would hold up. We have not had any issues but we would recommend wire brushing the painted surface to confirm that you are getting good adhesion. You have to use your own judgement the stickystone is only as good as the substrate you attach it too.

We've had this on our building for the past 2 years. We allowed water to go behind the stone for a year to test if the freeze thaw cycle mixed w/ water would have any effect. We were excited to see that the product was so strong, it was still very hard to chisel off. You can use your own judgement but we feel the product has done very well over time.

Thank you for the reply, glad it's holding up so far! Is this the primary product you use for most exterior veneer installations now? Curious if there are still use cases where mortar would be preferred (or maybe even necessary).

Between the water falls and the location right next to the pool, do you think this would still hold up?

This product would do well in China. In fact it may be manufactured there. Not sure. But when I visited that country, it was very clear that all that mattered was the outward appearance of quality. A real stone/brick veneer has minimum requirements to support the weight. It also has a venting and drainage cavity. So of coarse the traditional method is more time consuming and expensive. As an architect, I would only specify this type of installation in limited areas that were space constrained. In those cases, the envelope consultant would sign off on the installation method - best where there are large overhangs to limit exposure to water.

The biggest problem I see you guys facing is that any new construction and in particular commercial construction has engineering specs. You must follow the installation requirements or you will be in some serious trouble and to date I've never seen a spec call out for this type of adhesive. There will also be hesitation on unproven technology. I've been bitten myself with manufacturers claiming there product is great but having it fail later. I had this happen about a 2 years ago with a new firebrick adhesive. Fortunately, the general contractor provided the adhesive and I specifically detailed in the contract that we were not responsible for it. Less then a year later it failed, badly. Not saying this will happen with your product but there will be an uphill battle to convince old school masons and engineers.

Studies show StickyStone is up to 50% faster to install than using mortar. Calculate your labor cost and see if it's worth the extra investment.

Very little waste but 3 times the money LOL

[@PaverToolInnovators]

Yes, it does cost more than standard mortar but it's the value that you're paying for. The value is in the time saved in mixing mortar as well as the cleanliness with no waste left behind.

$20 it’s a joke I’m looking to buy $60 dollars apiece

Yet another product that puts a nail in the coffin of Traditional masonry and the mason's skills. All this product does, is dumb down the mason's art. This is for people who want to do everything the lazy way. I guarantee this will look like crap within 5 years. Whereas the coliseum, the houses of Parliament, The White House and Senate, will be there long after this product fails. This product suits those kinds of builders who want to build cheaply and don't care about the product's maintenance or shelf life. It's up there with the faux screw on stone panels cheap builders use. Thanks for helping to kill the masonry trades.

We appreciate your input. At the end of the day if you're content with what you're using for applications, we aren't going to knock you.

Everyone must move into the future! There will always be plenty of room for our amazing masons!

@@margerykirner5604 You want to move into the future, but you revere the buildings of the past. How are you construct new monuments for future generations to admire if they're all built with false stone and glue? The reason America's old buildings have survived, is because they were built using traditional methods, not crude money saving methods. You don't see the Coliseum, the Houses of Parliament, nor the Washington memorial built out of false stone and glue do you?

@@keithboyd1157 I am about to start a faux stone project. I do see what you are saying, but if we all thought like you, then we would be tripping around in horse drawn vehicles. Love the art in the ancient buildings , but we can create these looking into the future.

@@margerykirner5604 I'm not sure where you draw the inference from my previous replies, that I want us to go back to the horse drawn carriage days, although to save the planet that might not be a bad idea. I'm saying that these kinds of temporary, short term profit making ideas, don't last and are not designed to. If America spent more time rehabilitating its old buildings, instead of knocking them down and replacing with them structures that don't last 50 years, then you'd all be better off. My company specializes in Historic Masonry repairs, using traditional materials and methods. If those skills are diminished by these faux/false products, how do you pass the skills that took years to learn, down to the next generation, to preserve those buildings you deem worthy of keeping? One thing we have noticed, the repairs we're called on to do are for buildings much younger than they used to be. Instead of repairs to structures built in the 18800's/ early 1900's, we're increasingly getting called upon to repair structures built in the 1970's onwards. For us to be called upo0n to rep[air a structure that is less than 10 years old, is a sure sign that traditional skills are being lost, and replaced by people who only know how to build in faux.

This stuff is a joke. Locally it is $26 per tube or just shy of $30 with tax. $312 for a case of 12 plus tax. Maybe the manufacturer thinks they are selling gold and silver in a tube. You can do this with pure Silicone and still save 50% and Silicone will be there for 100 years. I asked the local guy at the store if he sells a lot of this stuff and he said I have not sold a single tube so far

[@PaverToolInnovators]

If what's working for you satisfies your needs we aren't going to knock your procedure. Sometimes change isn't easy or necessary. We wouldn't sell a product that we don't stand behind and can assure you Sticky Stone lives up to its name.

[@joepineapples9332]

That's EXACTLY the same caulk gun hyrda blok had for their shower system, now they sell regular caulk tubes....there is no way this works long term..unlike these guys i'm a licensed contractor who's being doing masonry for 35 plus years..you do not have to wait for your base course to set up to set veneers...shamwow horseshit

[@adamhall5024]

Sorry, but they look cheap

[@lotsaluck721]

How about sticky stone around the fireplace surround . ..and the heat directly above a fireplace

[@PaverToolInnovators]

It can be used on the outside of fireplaces (indoor and outdoor), but not inside fireboxes or for firebrick.

[@AutismusPrime69]

Used this last year and it has already failed. Product is junk

Is there a coping for the top or a drip edge? How do you finish it off?

[@andrewshenton6541]

What about painted block or painted concrete
