Splitting
Handy-Stone II solid concrete units may
be split when special-sized pieces are needed. To split a unit, score on all sides along
the path of the desired split using a hammer and masonry chisel. Continue to strike all
sides of the unit on score lines until split is complete.
Curves
Handy-Stone II units taper toward the rear.
This feature allows construction of inside and outside curves. Because rear alignment lips
cause succeeding courses of Handy-Stone II to step back, outside curve radiuses become
smaller as each course is placed. Make sure to plan for this feature.
| INSIDE CURVE 
( 3-foot minimum radius ) |
OUTSIDE CURVE
( 3-foot minimum radius ) |
Corners
Inside and outside corners may be constructed
using Handy-Stone II. Use the diagrams below as a guide for placing alternate corner
courses. Building corners requires splitting and removal of alignment lips on some units.
