3 years ago I was called upon to fix limestone slabs vertically on a block wall I had built for someone. The slabs are 600x300 and pretty weighty. I tried a variety of adhesives, none of which seemed to be man enough for the job.
Then I found Sikadur 33, which, while a pig to use, seems to be strong enough.
Except that a few of these slabs have come off every year (not the same ones) so now I am seeking the ultimate adhesive. I think maybe the Sika is not flexible enough so the slabs, being dark blue, probably heat up and shrink, causing a brittle bond to fail. It is worse over winter, so perhaps its the frost.
Anyway, any ideas what to try next?
Thanks
