Cement alternative?
 
Hi,

Have a coping stone which has come loose from a wall. Don't want to
have to mix cement to re-secure it as it'd be a tiny amount.
Suggestions as to an alternative to use?

Thanks,

Chandy

You could try exterior grade no-nails stuff.
That pink stuff is good, and its not just for gay people :-)
Also Jewson's are flogging something called "Sticks Like Sh*t" which I
must get some of, if only for a laugh.

Either the exterior grade no-more-nails someone else mentioned, or
builder's resin (two-part epoxy stuff)

cement and sand - not the best option for stone
cement and clay - not the best option for stone
lime and sand
ilme and clay
clay and cow****
no more nails
resins - not the best option for stone
tile adhesive
tile grout even
anything thatll stick it really.
