Hey Paul, nice finish. I do similar work, not with GFRC though. How did you fix the profiles to the wall? Mechanical anchors, or adhesive, or both?

Paul, thanks for the reply. But tell me, what is a 'tap con'?. Also, what is the weight, dimensions, and thickness of the GFRC stone you were laying up at Indigo? Thanks again Paul,
Regards,
Bruce

Bruce, a tap con is a large head screw designed to screw into a hole drilled into concrete. We use
tap cons to fasten the wire mesh. Those precast stone panels are 12"X24". They were 1" thick at the grout lines and about 3" in the center. There weight was about 20#. They were cast in silicone molds
made in house, with GFRC. I could pick them up with one hand.
Regards
Paul
