This is a general guide to installing my statues on pre-existing concrete using standard fixings of threaded rod and glue.
All the glues below are appropriate, but some are better for different installations. The choice of glue you use among other factors, such as temperature, damp and strength required, is
dependent on how fast you would like it to cure. If you want a lot of time to make sure it is correct then the Tenax type glue would be better. If you are confident about the installation and you have done all the pre-checks before final applying glue then the other 2 types of glue, that premix in the nozzle would be much easier to use:
&#; SikaAnchorFix®-1 &#; Quite fast, reliable, easy mix adhesive.
&#; Easyfix Kempsc 175ef &#; Quite fast, reliable, easy mix adhesive. Good for damp conditions
&#; Tenax Domo 10 &#; much longer curing time, strong, weather resistance, less easy mixing and application
Required for installation:
&#; Pencil
&#; Padding to protect sculpture
&#; Hammer drill
&#; Masonry drill bits
&#; Something to clean dust from drilled holes (the drill bits used slowly, a cloth, your mouth to blow, or compressed air)
&#; Enough helpers to easily handle the statue
&#; Small tool/spatula and cloth or paper to clean any errant glue.
&#; If using the Tenax glue &#; mixing pots and spatulas for placing in the holes
Installation guide:
1. Familiarise yourself with the threaded rods and their receptors underneath the sculpture. While checking the underside, rest the sculpture on a padded surface to prevent scratching.
2. Place the sculpture in required positions without the threaded rods in the holes.
3. Move and rotate the sculpture around until you are absolutely happy with the orientation and position.
4. Check that the sculpture is sitting flat. If the concrete is not level, then you may need to use spacers to level it. Spacers should be of a robust material like stone, hard plastic, or stainless steel.
5. Once all checks are complete, accurately mark the concrete at several places on outside edge of sculpture. Mark a directional arrow following a tail or outstretched limb.
6. Remove sculpture and place threaded rods into receptors on base.

7. Lift sculpture into place on concrete and mark location of the threaded rods on concrete. If any threaded rods are clearly not vertical, extend the circular marking into an oval in the direction of the lean back upwards to the receptor. This hole will need to be drilled using a larger diameter bit.
8. Remove sculpture and drill holes to the required depth of the pins.
9. Remove as much dust from the hole as possible (do not use water, use the drill bit a cloth, blowing, or compressed air, keep the hole dry).
10. Place sculpture back with the pins going through the base plate and into the holes.
11. Check that everything is correct and the threaded rods sit properly in the holes with the sculpture sitting flat on the concrete. DO NOT PUT PRESSURE ON THE THREADED RODS to force them into the holes, but enlarge the holes to suit them.
12. Remove the sculpture and put the chosen adhesive into the holes (quickly if using the faster-setting glue). Depending on the diameter of the holes fill them about 1/2 full to 2/3rds full with glue. Excess may be smeared on the threaded rods.
13. Whilst glue is still wet immediately place the sculpture back with the threaded rods pushed into the holes, pushed down as far as they will go.
14. Quickly check that the sculpture is still in the correct position, flat and with the correct orientation. There may be a little leeway for correction.
15. Remove any glue that seeps put under the base plate or through the holes. Clean your tools thoroughly.
14. Leave glue to set. You can check how much the glue has set by checking the excess in your container. If the sculpture must be supported to remain at the chosen angle, then support the sculpture until the glue is dry.
