How I Install Stone Veneer, (Part 1 of 3) Mike Haduck, Real or cultured stone

[SaraJan81]

I really like the idea of the paint brush. It make sense to me because it seems to be a lot more versitile then a jointer. The handle seems to make a good jointer and the brush can offer some sweeping, cleaning action. I do most of my work by hand without a trowel. The trowel is just one more obstacle in the process of work. Seems kind of like eating pizza with a fork, but thats only for me.  I can work the mortar with my fingers when grabbing up a swath of what I need.

@SaraJan81 I always said that no matter where I go masons do it different. It is really an art and I am sure you have your own style. I know If I was working with you I would learn something new from your techinques. thanks for sharing. Mike

Thanks for taking the time to film and upload. I want to put a sand wash stone flooring on my car park/BBQ area. Most videos say to use epoxy, it is possible to use mortar?

[TheMrBanjocat]

@zidmt It is impossible to give any advice without seeing what your doing. I would ask the local guys first and then do a sample area to see what happens, thanks Mike

hey mike i plan on putting stone on my house this spring. Its on a block house that has been painted, do i need to get the paint off the house before i can do the stone? i like your video by the way. lots of good information

[TheMrBanjocat]

@twingirlsmom08 It is impossible to give any advice without seeing the job. but If I am going over block I take my diamond saw and cut groves in the block. best to ask a professional from your area. every where masons have reasons for using their own techinques, older masons who have lots of experience are usually the best to ask. thanks Mike

Hey nice video, felt like I was back in my apprentice years, taking a day of no pay just to simply watch without pressure, haha wish these videos existed back then, nice practice!

[dazingla]

yeah but do u think any laborer new would use that, negative. professionalism is what it should be.

[autumnhillpatio]

@dazingla are you talking about the paintbrush? I have seen older masons doing that for years, there work is very professional as far as masonry goes there are many ways.

[TheMrBanjocat]

@autumnhillpatio your right , there are many ways, stone work is an art and everyone sees it diffrent. good luck mike

[TheMrBanjocat]

@dazingla don,t understand what your trying to say? sorry mike

[dazingla]

lol they make jointers to finish the mortar.

[TheMrBanjocat]

@dazingla -everybody got their own way. ain't nohting wrong with using a jointer if thats the way you like it. good luck. thanks for the comment mike
