Advice on stone adhesive

[SRU1436]

I am building a new mailbox and thinking of using stone adhesive to attached the blocks to each other. The base will get a concrete foundation with first few blocks sitting in the moist concrete and inside center section will get concrete and rebar for the first few blocks as well. The remaining blocks will be attached with the stone adhesive. Attached is a link to something I’m thinking of using. And the photo is what I built (dry fitted). I’m still deciding on the cap in case someone asked about the top. I appreciate the advice.

That'll do just fine, as will any good construction adhesive. I built a wall around some trees & a mound in my front yard 10/15 years ago. The stone had a back lip to keep them from slipping so everyone told me I didn't need adhesive. I'm stubborn, so I did it anyway. Nothing has moved.......... Here's the "tree island"...

Mortar will work as well. Cheaper, easier to clean off you hands and tools, and that will happen! I can't get close to adhesives and not get it on me! If you don't want exposed joints, going for dry laid look, then use thinset mortar like used for tile. Still cheaper.

Mortar seems like more work to me, and I’m only saying that because I tiled my laundry room (first time doing tile) and mixing and applying the mortar seemed like a huge pain. I do appreciate the info though.

I used that exact product. Worked for me just fine.

I did a fire pit using this stuff. It works well. It's lasted 8+ years so far.
