Question 1

What kind of adhesives would stick to this? I see that you can use thinset and tile over, but we are using a stone veneer product for our shower walls and need to glue it up. A two part epoxy adhesive is what is recommended by the manufacturer of the veneer. Would an epoxy based adhesive adhere to this product? View answer
