Can adhesive be used for coping stones on wall?

I stuck a brick back on a step about 5 years ago and it’s not moved despite constant use.

I used gorilla glue.

Another recommendation for Gorilla glue. I stuck down coping stones that had come loose and they haven't budged since.

I think posters need to read the OP.
The house is being sold, he wants a very quick & very simple fix. I would assume he has no experience of using sand & cement and doesn't want to gain it either.


Providing the bit of stone can stay in place for a few weeks, he really doesn't care how. If double sided tape would go the job, I'm sure he'd be happy. Now there's a thought...

Ohh those lucky new owners buying into that house, god only knows what bodges they’ll uncover. Blue tack holding door hinges on, sellotape over leaking pipes- it sounds a real treat of a house.

Something like ct1 will be perfect.

Why bother knocking up some mortar?

you'll have to knock all the existing mortar off the wall and copings - very probably chance of knocking off another brick, then another, then another. Been there and done that Might also break the coping if the beds proper stuck to it.

different coloured mortar as well.

A nice bead of ct1 or similar and the old mortar on each side will lock into each other. Job done and likely stronger anyway

Thanks for all the useful replies.I appreciate those who say use mortar or find a tradesman. but its not easy to find tradesman to come around in couple of days and the person doesnt want to do mortar mix due to severe arthritis..easy to judge without knowing details so no offense taken..

You have no obligation to buy the house so don't panic. ...Just because one wants to do quick fix on few stones doesn't mean everything is a bodge..

Obviously, however my point still stands and it was said in jest. No panic here
