CLEANING:

· LiteStone

Interior Adhesive: Clean with warm water, preferably before drying,

if the adhesive is already dry, use mineral solvents.

· Polyurethane-based construction adhesive: Clean before drying, you can use

a dissolvent.

Please consider important notes below:

LiteStone

is a manufactured stone, so variation in color may occur by drying

naturally until it reaches its denitive and permanent color.

Product drying will naturally occur at the installation site.

INSTALLATION MATERIALS, YOU WILL NEED:

· Damp cloth

· Soft brush

· Spatula or putty knife

· Hacksaw or if neccessary an electric cutting tool

For interiors use LiteStone

brand adhesive.

For exteriors and/or exposed to moisture surfaces use a polyurethane-based

construction adhesive. (Use a cartridge gun).

INSTALLATION:

Combine several boxes and then mix colors

and sizes to achieve a more natural look in

your installation.

Wipe off the dust from each piece with a brush.

Start installation with the corner pieces and

going from the bottom up to the top and then

work horizontally. Alternate the orientation of

the pieces by using different sizes to break up

vertical seams.

Make sure that the rst row is leveled, as this

will be the base for the rest of the installation.

Alternate the sizes and widths of the pieces to

discontinue vertical and horizontal joints.

Use small pieces of cardboard to level (when

necessary).

Press the piece ensuring that the adhesive is

well attached to the surface and press the

piece closer to the nearest stone so that the

joint is minimized.

It is possible that the rst (lower) row will need

a support until it is completely dry. Be sure to

have this support if needed.

Evenly apply a generous coat of adhesive on

the entire backside of the stone, using the at

side of the spatula to spread it. For exteriors,

use the adhesive gun and cartridge.

If needed, cut the piece with a hacksaw or an

electric cutting tool. Cut from the front face

through the back side with a slight angle of

inclination.

Make sure the back of the stone is dust free

after cutting.

Please consider important recommendations

below:

Ensure that the surface to be installed is at, smooth, clean, free of dust,

grease, oil, water, sealants, loose paint or any other contaminants that

could inhibit adhesion.

Read and follow the instructions on the adhesive package label.

Arrange the pieces before gluing them and be sure to mix different colors

and sizes.

For application in replaces, install only as decoration on the outside. Do

not install on interior walls.

In case you need to drill a stone, always use a drill, never a direct nail.

You can use a high quality sealant or repellent designed for porous stone

or concrete.

You can give an occasional clean up your installation to remove dust from

the surface using a soft brush.

In the rare case of a stone having a burr or excess ridge, we suggest

removing it before installing.

SUBSTRATES:

It is not possible to list all possible substrates, please consult the construction

regulations that apply in each region and / or country; Adapt this installation

procedure. Compliance with this regulation is the responsibility of the user and

the installer.

It is the user´s responsibility to determine the condition and feasibility of use of

all substrates prior to the application of the adhesive.

It is important that these substrates are in good condition (not chipped,

cracked, crumpled or loose) rigid, free of expansions or contractions and dust

free before starting your installation project.

*If the substrate is painted or is wallpaper, the paint must be in good conditions,

otherwise it has to be scraped or sanded prior to installation.

It is very important to keep the inside of the substrate dry and waterproof to

avoid moisture buildup as water may penetrate the seams of LiteStone

WARNING:

This product contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause

cancer. This chemical, crystalline silica, is a component of cement. Cement is

an ingredient of LiteStone

, do not ingest LiteStone

. When cutting

LiteStone

parts with saw, ventilate properly, suppress the dust and provide

controls to keep silica levels in the air below the PEL (Permissible Exposure

Limit). It is recommended to use a NOSH N-95 approved mask when cutting

Litestone with an electric cutting tool.
