Troubleshooting
Stones are still loose after application
Ensure the product was applied evenly and that stones were within the 4-20mm size range. Verify that the full 72-hour curing period was met in appropriate conditions (above 5°C and dry). A second application may be necessary for very porous surfaces or larger stones.
Product is not spreading evenly
Use a suitable application tool like a garden sprayer or a wide brush. Ensure the product is at room temperature before application if stored in cooler conditions, as viscosity can increase when cold.
Bond does not seem durable after a few months
Check if the application area experienced extreme weather conditions (e.g., prolonged heavy frost, constant waterlogging) shortly after application, which could affect curing. Reapplication might be needed in such cases.
White residue appears on stones
This can occur if applied too thickly or if it hasn't fully cured. Try gently brushing the area once fully dry. Ensure adequate drying time and conditions are met.
