- Putclone rubs and smoothed irregularities in places of fastening of decorative stone. A flexible rubber spatula is used to align the plane on the arc arch.
- The working sections of the surface of the arch are cleaned with sandpaper and soil are soil. The primer fastens small particles, and on such a surface, any finish is kept stronger.
- Concrete or plastered cement mortar Brick arches are covered with adhesive soil. At elevated air temperature or high humidity, the surface of the Arch is recommended slightly moistened.

- The glue mixture is applied to the area of \u200b\u200bthe arch. Glazing spatula Adhesive on the area to the thickness of the layer 5 - 10 mm. With vertical masonry wavelengths are made in a horizontal direction.
- A layer of glue in 5 - 10 mm is also applied to the tile and in this case the waves are made vertical. The crossing of the adhesive mass will fill the emptiness. The tile is tightly pressed against the wall with their hands and bubbles with rubber Cyans. The glue spoke on the perimeter is removed by a flat spatula. Cutting is determined by the absence of voids. Voids can lead to condensate under tile. In the case of discovery of voids, the tile is removed, cleaned from the adhesive and is re-installed.
