I have a little job that needs some studs fixing into a wall with
resin to re-attach some 4 x 4 timbers that have been displaced over
the years. The nozzle on a tube of resin will never go down the
clearance hole and into the brick, although I could extend it with
some plastic tube. A simpler way would be to drill through the timber
and brick, then jiggle a resin capsule into the hole. The readily
available resin capsules

say they are good for concrete and stone. Does anyone know whether
this means 'definitely not brick' or 'we forgot to put brick on the
list' ?
The only reason I can imagine for this it that the capsule is 90mm and
might be too long for a hole across a single brick if there's a cavity
on the other side. Does anyone have any other thoughts/knowledge of
this?

Cheers

Resin works fine on brick. But if the brick is weak old soft reds, the
brick itself will have limited strength around teh chemical bond.
Which is usually not a problem.

Good point - and I think mine fits that description (soft red brick),
but that means a few more fixings and a bit more care. After the
initial stage, there will be very little stress on the fixings. If
it's compatible chemically (etc) then it might be worth a go.....
