Nothing - but it would have to be a super thin bed . The coping stones don’t exactly stick well to mortar in my experience. What’s wrong with an adhesive ?

Oi ! You said you packed and glued with ct1 !

Rebar bars dead level Cement rather than foam as too breezy . Leave to cure for a bit then SBR . A non stiff cement mix . Tap it in using the rebar as my guide . Perfecto ! ( in theory )

I know . But I’m special

Taking all the advice and suggestions I had a brief moment of brilliance! The issues are the bed being flat and the fact copings don’t particularly stick well to concrete. So ! . Rebar rods down each side that are dead level , packers if need be .Cement them in and fill any holes with cement . SBR on the existing base . Then concrete again along the middle using the rebar rods as a definitive level I.e drag a piece of timber along them . Should get a guaranteed level . 3 lines of grip fill and just place coping on . No fumbling with packing , cement dropping etc. This is THE solution !

Pornhub ???

I wanted to type (expletive deleted) off ; but I couldn’t

Tempted to do this . Let the cement cure for a bit and then just a few lines of grip fill on the cement . Then bed it .

Assume it’s ok to link to this http://ultimatehandyman.co.uk/forum1/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=48486&start=30 The mods then locked it ! (expletive deleted)ing talking about foam on copings . Here we have to all go mental for hundreds of pages before it gets locked 😂

No wonder some people ‘bed’ them with expanding foam . It is tempting to sit it on packers nice and level and then just foam underneath- but that would be a bodge ….

My smugness ended today . I got up properly to look at my cast concrete with a spirit level …. It wibbles and wobbles around . It’s not level . So I embedded frame packers in cement at the low levels so that my spirit level shows level between them .Now when I bed the copings ( I think these biggies are maybe 60kg each ) they will sink . So I will put packers on the wall and cement around them to the level . Assumption is coping will only drop so far until it hits packers and cement. Someone say this is a good idea please 😁👍

No understanding… speeky Engrish ??

Ok ok , I’ll forget “ wet & forget “ ( though the product name is the best ! ) . Ordered the boringly named bostik “ mortar and brick cleaner “

Yeah but mines called “ wet & forget “ - reminds me of school

You dirty (expletive deleted)er

Looking at this type of thing on Amazon ; not sure it it’s right for the job though …

Following on from my other post . Some very dirty quoins ! . Pressure wash won’t touch it - any way to clean them up a bit ? Secondly my shuttering leaked a bit over my wall . Some ‘ smeary ‘ cement on it . Brushing it when dry helped a bit - but a recommended product to clean it up a bit appreciated.

There ! Certainly not level ( maybe 10mm deviation ) but a lot better .

I need to do this also and was initially going down the pedestal and tile route . Thickness of tiles required and lots of cuts make it a pita for me . Decided instead on pedestals with engineered decking .

Bit like a busy road in the week . Lots of traffic and noise . Now the forum feels like the same road but on a Sunday .

Didn’t ignore you - just forgot 😁 I only ignore @epsilonGreedy ; oh look ; he’s disappeared; strange that ….

It pissed down once I finished . It’s run . Hope it brushes off the stone work !! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
