Whats the minimum overlap of one block above the other, in order to
create a safe bond

Is it the thickness of the block ?


Thanks

An unanswerable question: very small offsets are safe, large ones aren't.
Perhaps if you told us your application someone might be able to coment?

Sure, but why do you want to offset blocks? What specifically are you trying
to
achieve that needs offset blocks? You see there may be another way of
doing it that doesn't need offset blocks. Will the offset blocks be at the
top or
bottom of the wall etc?

It should be half and half, you have to cut bits to fill gaps -
according to the bricke that trained me for a day.
