Bullnose Paver Adhesive - Travertine

[jcrompton]

We have a large order of travertine pavers ready for install - literally starting tomorrow!
The installers in our area WV have not installed a lot of travertine as compared to points south.

The bullnose pavers at poool edge will be set on the rim of a fiberglass pool (maybe 4 inches) and then the rest will be set on a concrete "bond beam" that is even with the fiberglass top of the pool. What adhesive would you suggest for adhering the bullnose at pool edge (it is 1 1/8" travertine bullnose) ??

Secondly does anyone have any suggestions on laying travertine (colder environment 1/2 the year) -- grout line thickness?? grout material ?? travertine paver base ?? - sand vs mortar etc ??

Thanks

PS -- attached is what installer is planning on using unless wee get differnt advice

I would not glue the coping to the pool. They need to move independent of each other. You can put silicone between the coping and the pool wall. Just know it will need to be redone every once in a while.
