Default Angled bricks/ 'Squints'

Anyone out there had any experiences of these?
I require a few for a conservatory I'm building (135' corners), I'm not
having much success on the small numbers involved. I have been quoted £60
for 20 off bricks (my own) to be 'cut and bonded', could this be a DIY

job?
What is used for the bonding of bricks?, some epoxy or the like?

Hi,

We have these on our conservatory which has a "5-sided" end rather than
3-sided so the angle is slightly strange rather than the "normal" 135
degrees.

The conservatory co got a quantity of the standard bricks "cut and bonded".
The result was very satisfactory and has stood up well for a good few years
now. It hasn't all "fallen apart at the corners" fortunately. I've no idea
what they used to glue the cut bricks together - maybe it's like those
stories about "PVA wood glue is stronger than the wood itself".

Good luck.

Simon.
