[QUOTE="One Day, post: 946137"] Your main problem is that plaster skim will not take the weight, especially on a ceiling! As a minimum, you'll need to get fresh suitable board such as wedi / kerdi etc securely fixed to stud or block, then 100% solid bed the stone with quality adhesive AND mechanically fix this using something like the raifix system, which might not even be effective depending on the slope of the ceiling... Not an easy job by any means and not at all possible with the prep your builder has done. No matter what you do, no adhesive or board manufacturer will recommend fixing to ceilings so you will be totally reliant on your fixer's experience. As an alternative you could always just ditch the stone and use a thin porcelain, so you've no weight issues... [/QUOTE]
