Can adhesive be used for coping stones on wall?

Hi, asking on behalf of a friend.

He has a empty house going up for sale on Friday. House has been empty since January and when he visited today found that few coping stones on brick wall in front garden had fallen off. Maybe from bad weather but not sure.

In interest of trying to fix it before Friday , can a grab adhesives be used instead of cement? Not really feasible to get someone to come and fix it by Thursday so thinking of a short term bodge.

Thanks
J

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..

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.

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..
