What happens here

Using a standard caulk gun, apply a generous amount of construction adhesive to the top surface of the previously laid concrete blocks. Ensure the adhesive is laid in a serpentine or wavy pattern, covering the entire width of the block. Pay particular attention to the edges and any areas where rebar pins might be present to ensure maximum adhesion. The worker in the video explicitly notes that a good amount of adhesive is required to fill the spaces between the block layers effectively for a strong bond.

Goal: Create a strong bond between block layers for structural integrity.
