Installing Liberty Classic Stone
 1) Footing is required to lay Liberty Classic Stone. Check area building
     codes for footing requirements.
 2) Set up coursing or corner poles to maintain accurate coursing
     heights and horizontal lines.
 3) Pre-wet Stone prior to installing
 4) Bed joints must be laid full and even.
     > Full head joints are required to ensure that all joints can be
        tooled evenly
     > Liberty Classic Stone can be laid using various styles of jointing.
        A concave joint is the most common.
 5) Make sure that each joint is properly sealed. The joint seals the
     wall and creates the final appearance.
 6) Allow mortar to become firm before striking and brushing the joints.
     This will prevent the mortar from smearing.
 7) Minimal cutting is required. This can be done using either a
     hammer and chisel or a masonry saw.
 8) Install ties according to architectural specification and building
     codes. Non-corrosive wall ties are required.
 9) CLEANING RECOMMENDATIONS. Pre-wet surface. Use masonry
     cleaner without acid in accordance with manufacturer’s dilution
     ratios and instructions. Start at the top of the wall, applying
     solution to wet area using a soft bristle brush. Rinse thoroughly,
     removing all solution and residue. Do not use power washer,
     bleach or acid cleaners.
