Step #1:

Place the first course of block in a bed of mixed Surface Bonding Cement on an existing slab. Tamp level, then wait for the first course to build strength. The remainder of the blocks can be placed in a running bond pattern without mortar in the joints.
|
Step #2:

Maintain level blocks with shims or small amounts of mixed surface bonding cement. Dampen the block with a fine mist of water on both sides, then mix the Surface Bonding Cement.
|
Step #3:

The mix should be just wet enough to trowel but not so wet that it slides off a trowel. Trowel the material starting with an upward motion from bottom to top to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
|
Step #4:

After coating both sides and the material has set, cover with opaque plastic and keep the wall damp for 3 days with an occasional fine misting of water.
