G. Install Mortar (Optional)
The brick panels have been designed for installation
without the use of mortar being necessary. If the look of
mortar is preferred, it is vaailable and can be installed.
Follow the directions on the container for mixing.
The mortar can be applied with a mortar bag or trowled
on. Applying with mortar bag may be easiest and less
messy. Clean sparingly as paint will rub off and may
need to be touched up. Touch up paint is abailable as
an accessory.
