Love it LOL....
by the way, cement holds bricks apart.....if it was a glue it would hold them together :tongue-out3:
Getting technical, cement is a constituent part of mortar and concrete.....and it reacts chemically to do its job. It’s therefor a glue, so there:tongue-out3::tongue-out3::tongue-out3:

I never said it did.....it reacts chemically with the constituents of mortar, which makes mortar work.......and mortar is the glue.....still with me? I’m not :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3: :tongue-out3:

Actually mortar for brickwork should be a holding meduim. It binds the bricks together.

Bricks move with temperature & also water absorbtion so need a holding matter which has a flexibiltiy. Using the incorrect mortar, which may be termed as glue, will result in many cases the brickwork failing with cracking some times considerable & in some cases dangerous. Mortar provides a bed on which the bricks rest & are kept in position. The bricks are self supporting in a restrained position (except when they crack)..
