How to Apply AirStone

AirStone is a type of lightweight and easy-to-install stone veneer that can be used to create a variety of natural-looking surfaces such as accent walls, fireplaces, and backsplashes. Here are the steps to follow when applying AirStone:

1. Gather Materials: You will need AirStone, adhesive, a putty knife, a level, a measuring tape, a saw, and a sanding block.

2. Prepare the Surface: Before applying AirStone, make sure that the surface is clean, dry, and free of any debris. If necessary, use a wire brush to remove any loose or flaking material.

3. Measure and Cut the AirStone: Measure the area where you plan to apply the AirStone and cut the pieces to fit using a saw. You can also use a sanding block to smooth the edges if necessary.

4. Apply the Adhesive: Apply a thin layer of adhesive to the back of each AirStone piece using a putty knife.

5. Place the AirStone: Press each piece of AirStone firmly into place, making sure that it is level with the surrounding pieces. If necessary, use a level to ensure that each piece is straight.

6. Fill the Gaps: Once you have placed all of the AirStone pieces, fill any gaps or spaces between them with more adhesive.

7. Let it Dry: Allow the adhesive to dry completely before touching or moving the AirStone. This typically takes 24-48 hours.

8. Finish: Once the adhesive has dried, you can paint or seal the AirStone to give it a finished look.

By following these steps, you can easily apply AirStone to create a beautiful and natural-looking surface in your home.
