Attaching wallplates, help/advise please

[richard1600]

i am building a garage, 7m x 4m.

walls have been done, all lintels etc in, now was told to bed the wallplates ontop of mortar then screw them then use straps also. the roof is gonna be a slight pitch with board and felt.

my questions is., yesterday i bedded the wallplates on the mortar and they have not taken at all. is there something different i need to do with the mix to make the wood stick?? or is it just a layer?? the mortar has set nicely but the wood just lifts straight off.

thx.
