Does this sound (and look) familiar?

the best thing to do is go to a local supplier and not a big box
and talk to informed staff about your application

or research it yourself

doing both is best

Use a urethane adhesive. I don't recall the brand I used but I built a
stone wall with it about 10 years ago. Local hardware store had it in a
caulking gun cartridge. Loctite makes one too.

found one that is waterproof too

loctite was not waterproof but was recommended
alothough they do make a waterproof product there was none and usually
they do have at marine supply

waterproof was not a complete necessity but good to have and not much
more

both brands stay flexible

forget the brand sika i think

some products will be formulated to work with a lot of different
materials

some will specify concrete and masonry and i found out that if
the do not specify concrete and only masonry you need to find
one that specifies concrete


concrete remains reactive whereas masonry is pretty much inert

Maybe Butel, fills gaps well and remains pliable years later but pretty
messy.
