Fix Your Rocking Patio Slabs With This Easy Solution!

Ex stone mason here, product called CT1 (like a grab adhesive ) We tested this product by sticking two stone samples together and left it in a bucket of water outside for a year and they were still bonded after the 1 year. We used it to stick all types of stone to brick, concrete, wood, other stones and metal. Fantastic product, no faffing about.

Fixed a big lump of render that fell off my garden wall with gorilla glue as a temporary bodge around 5 years ago. It’s still on the wall and after a couple of coats of sealer and masonry paint you wouldn’t even know. Proper DIY 👍

If you put the bottle in a cup of hot water first, it makes it easier to squeeze out.

“If you’ve got something of weight….best to use it”….i was waiting for a gag with you standing in the middle of your slab 😂😂😂😂

Just wanted to say, I look forward to the videos every week and am thrilled when I see them! It's been a while since you did a video that was relevant to me personally as a "how-to" but that's inevitable as you've already covered so much content, and yet I still tune in every week religiously because the content is so good regardless if it's a job I need to do. You've definitely helped improve my DIY confidence and now 1 year on from moving into my first house I've done every job myself except roofing and Part-P restricted electrics, including plumbing fixes, painting, installing spur sockets and fused spurs, installing Cat5e home networking, decking refurbishment, loft boarding, fixing boiler wiring issue etc. So thanks!

PU Glue has been around for decades. Buy it from a woodwork supplier in 1kg at 1/20th price of Gorilla!! Always used by boat builders and window manufacturers. No need for lots of water…. Spray bottle is best to moisten, not wet areas. Stripy zig zags are always better than dots and dabs. Also… get a can of PU cleaner 😉. Würth do a great range

One of my favorite DIY channels on youtube. Stuart many thanks for the videos and knowledge. Really has helped me transform my garden and house. My Mrs thinks I'm some kind of guru and that i know everything! 🤣😂

Great video as usual. I’ve been doing the same ever since I had my patio laid with Indian sandstone. I use the gorilla external grab that works perfectly.

Thanks Stuart, what's great with this video is that you show two different ways, the PU glue is a quick fix and time will tell how effective it is, but often a quick fix is what is required ahead of a family get together or such, at the end of the day the alternatives are there to choose from ! Plus its generated a load of useful comments to expand on these methods !

I've just fixed a loose patio slab using this polyurethane glue just as he advised. Used most of a small bottle.arvellous result. Thank you very much.

Stuart been watching your videos from the start and i must say i do look forward to them! Great Work

I did this using this type of glue (not Gorilla) with some crazy paving that I had taken up to replace a broken edge piece. An iron hard bed or mortar was left behind so I glued the paving down to the mortar bed and after repointing the result was perfect. Still solid a year later! Great stuff Stewart!

What a find. Got some stone slabs lifting and this looks like the perfect solution and I don’t have to wait for a dry day!

Interesting idea and experiment! I normally use SBR mixed with cement to create a thick slurry (same as what I used for priming slabs before laying), and bonding them back on the existing mortar bed (when it's found to be solid). Would be interesting to see if you can break 2 pieces apart as easily when done with the SBR and cement method. Cheers

Thank you, thank you, thank you.. I have been putting off this job for a while and you made it look easy! Works a treat!!

Exactly what I need for my steps which have de-bonded. Will try it out and report back. Thanks.

I've used this stuff before, and it was well worth the money. We had a baby gate that the kids kept swinging on and pulling out of the wall. I couldn't use bigger wall plugs and screws as they wouldn't fit through the baby gate fixings, so squirted the glue and some water into the hole in the wall, pushed the wall plug in and screwed it up tight. When the glue went off and expanded, there was no way that fixing was coming out of the wall!

I use 'Sticks Like Sh*t' from Evo-Stik. It's water proof and frost proof and can be used in damp conditions. It doesn't expand so you don't need to weigh it down and is slightly flexible. I've used it on paving slabs and it works a treat.

I used polyurethane glue on my indian sandstone 4 years ago and its not failed, this is a great tip .

Thanks Stuart. I will use the first approach to try and correct cowboy workmanship I had 4 years ago. They did the classic dot and dab and not slab prep.
