Culture Stone – installing experience

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
The cultured stone installation instructions tell you to put a scratch coat on before putting on the stone. I have seen workers install cultured stone without a scratch coat. What would you recommend? Has anyone out there tried the one coat approach?
