I am going to glue a load of cut n bond engineering bricks together, the price for Araldite would be huge, so I'm thinking of using fibreglass resin cos it's cheaper. Will this be OK? and out of interest, is epoxy resin and f/g resin the same thing?
Epoxy resin and fibreglass resin?

glueing bricks together?
don't you normally use mortar for that?

Why not use the proper coloured adhesive, often see it used on the corner bricks for conservatories
Fibreglass resin is a polyester resin and will not react well with any moisture that is in the bricks, it also remains tacky in the presents of air.
I mostly use West Systems epoxy adhesives, should be something in their range to suit your needs

Fibreglass resin doen't really stick to things. When used as a pond liner, it's recommended to paint a polyurethane bond coat onto the base before fibreglassing because it might not otherwise stick.
So I guess fibreglass resin and epoxy adhesive resin are not the same thing.

I take it you're looking at creating a wall with funny angles in them. My advice, for what it's worth, is not to bother bonding them at all, but lay then as normal withour mortar joints on the corners (you can always squeeze some mastic in later), and use metal wall ties over each joint to provide lateral strength.
I'm also in Surrey but have no problem getting it. Try Google
I get quite a bit of fibre glass stuff from thes epeople and they carry a lot more of teh West stuff than Axminsters who really are woodwork orientated.
