A few stone paving slabs (900*600*25) have come loose from their concrete
beds and need 'regluing'. Slabs and base are sound and to use a mortar
mix would mean the cutting out of the base to accommodate the thickness
required whilst maintaining the surface level. I'm tempted to try using
Everbuild Stixall Extreme Power to act as the adhesive. Comments and/or
other suggestions please.

I've used CT1 to "glue" a soldier row of paving blocks that holds my entire
driveway in place, not moved at all in several years, whereas the cementing
in-place done by the cowboys only lasted a few months before they started to
"walk" from the effects of the car steering/driving.

CT1 bond strength is 2.9 MPa, the Stixall extreme seems to be 1.5 Mpa

Yes, that's the stuff, the same manufacturer now seems to advertise Power
Grab-and-Bond as though it's better, but the bond strength seems lower, maybe it
has other properties that are better?

Thanks Andy. Its tempting to buy one of each and alternate the strips of
adhesive - one of 'em should hold :)

Perhaps one has a certain amount of plasticity over time to stop it cracking
in frosts and or heat?

Interesting. Looks as if there is little to choose on other than price
for Stixall and CT1. As the flags are not taking a shear load of any
kind I'll give both a try and see which is best over time. CT1 may be
the better option for paving as it seems to be a thicker bead and not
spread as thin as the Stixall, this may help deal with the irregularities
of the stone flags.

if I have a tile thats fallen off the bathroom wall, i can soak it in
water and the tile adhesive will soften enough for me to scrape it off
and finally clean it, so I don't think tile adhesvie will work well on
outdoor slabs.....

Hmm, not sure how tile adhesive would cope with freezing temperatures and
wet weather (when it comes). Good thought as an interim measure though.

You can make a slurry of Portland cement and hydrated lime, mix to the
consistency of batter and apply to pre-dampened surfaces. I can't
remember where I was reading about this, what the proportions were or
if there was a magic ingredient pozolan or something similar. Anyone?

That sounds rather as if your bathroom tiles didn't use a waterproof
adhesive. Which might explain why they keep coming off!
