Fixing for Coping
Just thinking ahead a bit, but wondered what the options are on fixing coping stones. Traditionally used mortar but think there may be better options so interested to know if anyone has tried alternatives?

I will be doing mine soon too, I was planning on just using the same tile adhesive as what I'll be sticking the tiles on with (hopefully get some tiles done Saturday weather permitting)
I didn't want to use mortar as worried about the drying time and any run off from rain before fully cured. Also tile adhesive should be a bit easier to control and I wont dump some in the pond hopefully!

Thanks guys, I'm off to buy ken and barbies boat although how that sticks the coping down I have no idea, do I melt it and use the expensive plastic blobs to hold the stone on?

Just been reading this and had to smile to myself, we needed to seal under our coping stones but the fish were back in soooo we bought a child's blow up paddling pool popped it in the pond hubby gingerly got himself into it cross legged complete with the mastic gun. Whilst he used the gun I slowly pulled his 'flotation device' around the pond, exchanging cartridges as we went. Luckily the neighbours didn't see us otherwise they'd have thought we were nuts lol
