What happens here

After cutting, apply concrete adhesive to the top surface of each retaining wall block before placing the next course. Ensure the blocks are clean and dry for optimal adhesion. The adhesive creates a strong bond, preventing the blocks from shifting or settling over time, which is critical for the long-term stability of a raised structure. Use a concrete adhesive gun for even application and press each new block firmly into place.

Goal: Securely bond all retaining wall block courses

  • Brush — Cleaning dust off blocks before applying adhesive

What they say

Hide

blocks it's not a lot of cutting that they have to do but it's every brick that has to be done and what i'm actually mean is they're only cutting the back side of each brick off so that they can get the spaces to fit flush and tight [Music] we got our stairs all cut or the bulldogs for the stairs all cut and those are good to go so i'm going to glue this middle course in now while blaine is working on these goofy goofy corners and then we'll start gluing this concrete adhesive is incredibly strong and will actually pull the bricks apart before the glue pulls apart but you will see sometimes concrete adhesive fails and that is when guys have dust on the blocks or if the blocks are wet or even slightly moist if the blocks are clean and dry you will pry the the concrete apart before you wreck the adhesive
