Mary had today off and started her latest project. Unfortunately she had a bad day.
We have a small concrete retaining wall near our basement door. She ordered some of that thin stone product that is looks like field stone. We picked up some type S mortar mix. No matter how she mixed it, it would not stick to the wall or the stone. I decided to pick up some of the latex additive or "Milk". We will give that a try tomorrow.
I pressure washed the concrete the day before so I know the wall is clean.
Any other suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks.

When I put on some veneer stone around our fireplace, UBS sold me thin-set as well and I had a similar problem. I called the stone manufacturer and they told me I needed to use a medium-grade thinset. Went like clockwork after that.
Check with the veneer manufacturer, you may need a similar product.
