I have two pavers (one brick and another concrete) that I recently
obtained for a special project. I had to drill four 1/4" holes
near each corner for placement of an anchor bolt. When I did this
yesterday, I didn't realize that there was something called
anchoring epoxy, so I drilled all the way through. Each bolt has
a head so I went all the way through and then used a stop nut on
the non-headed end; probably not the best way. Anyway, now the
bolt of course rotates when I try to secure the paver to wood. I
was just thinking of placing a small amount of JB Weld into each
hole to stop the rotation of the anchor and wondered if this
could work? Don't see the need now for spending twenty something
on concrete epoxy for something this small and it's pretty much
done, just need to stop the bolt rotation.

Thanks!


Why would you not use lag screws to secure the paver blocks to the
wood?

I need it to be easily installable and removable at any time, and
weather resistant. What I ended up using were 1/4" brass machine
screws with lock nuts on the other end. I made a hole just slightly
larger so the lock nuts would all be flush with the paver surface.
Problem is that now the whole screw rotates when I install the wooden
board on top. I could jam something in between the nut and
concrete, but just thought there might be a method a little better
which is why I thought of JB Weld

As I understand it, you have counter-sunk the holes in the paver and
the nuts are on the paver side and the screw head is on the wood side?

You want to be able to tighten the screws but, because the nuts are
counter sunk in the paver, you cannot grip the nuts to tighten the
assembly?

Obviously you could try using an epoxy putty to hold the nuts in place,
but how well it holds depends upon how much torque you need to apply to
tighten the screws.

If it were me, I would enlarge the counter-sink holes so I could grab
the nuts with a hand held nut driver or a thin wall socket.

Here's what I'm trying to do:
