Looking good Steve - what glue did you use. I have tried 'grab fix' type glues with some success.

Celcon Steve, no R in it. Celcon is a trade name for aerated blocks - also Thermalite, Quinn.
They have been in short supply lately because they are made from coal power station slag and that is not as common as it once was.
