The masonry

The first row of stones must also be placed in a bed of mortar in the case of a glued wall. Mix enough mortar to do this, apply a layer about three centimeters thick and set the stones.

• Put some glue on the stone, put the layers of glue on top of each other and press the brick lightly.
