Breeze blocks and No Nails
 
Can No Nails be used to glue plywood to breeze blocks as addition fixing
to screws.

I intend to used the plywood as a screwwing surface with shelves and
cupboards and need to ensure it is well secured to the block wall

Yes.


Suggest you make sure the breeze block surface is not too dusty, even no
more nails has limits (still better by far than any rival IMHO)
Personally, for the time, money and effort it takes, I'd be inclined to
brush the breeze block surface down and PVA it first - belts and braces etc.

It will help considerably, but by the sounds of it you intend quite a
heavy load so I would suggest also making sure the screw fixings are as
sound as possible. Rather than plugs and screws in soft breeze block,
drilling them over size, filling with something like David's Isopan
type car filler, then drilling a pilot hole for a screw in that, would
make a really big difference to their security.

resin fixing is another option
