Stephen D. Gazo Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 All, I finally found some nice brown brick to place between the wood stove and the drywall. I dry stacked it but took it down after about 7 bricks high. I think that I should cement or glue them together. I have seen a product called PL that will glue everything it touches, but can I use it this close to the woodstove. Or should I use cement. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Tom Raymond Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Mix up some mortar, and don't forget the wall ties! Glue is for lanscape pavers and DIYers. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 A small job like that might be a good opportunity to try your own hand at bricklaying. I did a couple of times with CMU's. Didn't come out too bad. It was outdoors in a remote area where no one would hear my cursing. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Grab a bag of ready mix mortar from the home center (or is it centre) or hardware. If you've done brick before a bag or two should be enough, if it's your first try grab an extra. This is a wall tie, or brick tie. They should go in every fourth course about 2-3 feet apart, nailed to studs. Click to Enlarge 6.36 KB Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen D. Gazo Posted December 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I purchased a bag of Mortar, I have about a dozen brick ties as well. I have done lots with brick, this isnt one of them...I have to place it on hold until I find some angle iron for the lintle. I have two places on the wall where I will need to have openings. 1 at the water shut off from the well, 2 the electrical box. So I will look for some 1/4 inch angle or flat stock. thank you all again,,,I will post pics as I go,,,should be good for laugh mongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
