Modern masonry adhesives provide incredibly strong bonds for repairs and construction, offering advantages over traditional mortar in specific applications—when used correctly for appropriate situations. These polymer-based products cure quickly, bond to difficult surfaces, and work in temperature extremes where traditional mortar fails, making them valuable for Ontario's variable climate. Applications include anchoring loose stones, filling small cracks, emergency repairs, and bonding dissimilar materials where mortar won't adhere. However, adhesives don't breathe like traditional mortar, potentially trapping moisture, and may not be reversible for historic restoration work. Color matching is limited, and long-term durability in freeze-thaw conditions varies by product quality. Fix My Brick uses specialized adhesives for specific repair situations while understanding their limitations, never substituting convenience for proper traditional techniques where appropriate. Professional selection ensures adhesives complement rather than compromise masonry systems, avoiding future problems from incompatible materials.
