Should I use PVA Glue?

[tony7]

Hi, Its for my front door step, The step is made up of the wee Tegula bricks, about 5 inc sq.

Three bricks, along the front adge have come loose, the rest are perfect, I thought if I lifted the bricks, give them a good brushing and paint the PVA glue onto both surfaces and stuck them down, would they hold do you think?

Thanks in advance.

You will be lucky if any glue works, need the bed cut out and re-cemented in, but if you "feel lucky" go for a sealant like CT1.

Normal PVA is water soluble, so no.

Is there no (bulky) restraint for the paviors bricks? I'd never in a world of pi$$-pots lay paviors as a step. Utterly useless. Always frame them in with a bedded brick or similar.

Or exterior tile adhesive

Hi all, thanks for all the advice, I made a soft morter mix after cleaning all the old away, beded the 3 Tegula bricks down again, flush again with the excisting, left it 2 days before walking on and their perfect,its the first time in 30 years that any came loose.

Sorted

Thanks.
