Method for manufacturing a lightweight veneer system

A method for manufacturing a lightweight veneer, said method comprising:

• a. introducing thirty-two liters (±10% tolerance) of water into a concrete mixer machine;
• b. adding one kilogram (±5% tolerance) of acrylic polyester resin;
• c. mixing for at least one minute;
• d. adding 9 kg (±5% tolerance) of recycled ground glass;
• e. mixing for at least one minute;
• f. adding 6 kg (±10% tolerance) of calcium carbonate (marble dust);
• g. mixing for at least one minute;
• h. adding 30 grams (±10% tolerance) of fiberglass;
• i. mixing for at least one minute;
• j. adding 21.5 kg (±5% tolerance) of one of white cement or gray cement;
• k. mixing for at least two minutes;
• l. adding 9 kg (±10% tolerance) of masonry plaster;
• m. mixing for at least thirty seconds;
• obtaining a final mixture
• n. preparing molds with release agent;
• o. transferring the final mixture into the molds within seven minutes, obtaining filled molds;
• p. covering said filled molds with plastic, obtaining covered molds;
• q. placing the covered molds in a primary curing area with controlled temperature (20 to 30 degrees Celsius) and humidity (50 to 60%);
• r. letting stand the covered molds in the primary curing area for 24 hours;
• s. placing the covered molds in a secondary curing area with controlled temperature (25 to 35 degrees Celsius) and humidity (50 to 60%);
• t. letting stand the covered molds in the primary curing area for 48 hours, obtaining a final veneer;
• and
• u. verifying moisture content of the final veneer, wherein if said moisture content is below 20%, the final veneer is considered ready for packaging, whereas if said moisture content is above 20% molds are covered with plastic again and placed in the secondary curing area with controlled temperature (25 to 35 degrees Celsius) and humidity (50 to 60%) for an additional 8 hours, repeating this step until said moisture content is below 20%.
