Would this work for a stack stone wall as a mortar replacement? (Basically would like to secure the wall without changing the look of stacked stone)

Depending on the gap, I dont think this would be the right application for that. It has a reasonable expansion rate and is kind of messy... wherever you put, it's gonna stay.

Not sure what you mean by "secure". If you mean to re-glue a few loose stones, yes. But a badly crumbling wall? I would not rebuild an entire wall with poly-U foam. This foam is also very black-- not gray like mortar and will permanently color whatever it is adhered to.

I'm sure it would work and paint would cover it well but I did a quick search and "thin-set mortar" is recommended for that job. I'm pretty sure it's very similar to concrete patch.

Yes if the mortar is soft as it should be. Suggest taking the claw of a hammer and scraping both regular concrete in the mortar. If a lot of mortar scrapes off and you see it probably this will work

I just drilled into the wall and put longer screws in. You would want to use the plastic expansion shields in the brick. Keep in mind the mortar joints are the easiest to drill (carbide tip bit).

I wouldn't imagine so. It requires two drilled holes for screws to secure it. I also used wall anchors. I'm having difficulty imagining what you're trying to attach it to.

I would recommend using a mason drill bit and mason screws to install this on a cement wall. When you put your rods in and you have to give a little bit of a pull when you take your rods of the rack, so I don't think glue will last long or really work out well IMO.

It's base is not really stable enough to use on a counter (especially when opening and closing the doors). But, I believe you could set it on a counter and anchor it into a wall and still get the effect you're looking for.

I used and recommend anchors in drywall. The included ones that came with the block were nice beefy ones and I used them. I have to think screws alone into drywall would work loose over time. If you have any wobble after the install you could tighten the screws a bit more into the anchors until the final install is flush and firm to the wall. This mounts by slots on the back of the block sliding onto the screw heads so you control how tight the install is to the wall.

I suppose you could but it would be a lot of work. Each course needs to be screwed in so unless you are using some sort of self tapping masonry screw ( would have to be a flat head even if they exist) you would have to drill and place a BUNCH of anchors. If you still want to put it up, a better idea might be to put up some 1x4s and then screw the "stone" on to that. Another piece of advice...they say you can use a hacksaw to cut it to size ( you can, it's a dense foam) but that is time consuming, a radial saw and bandsaw work wonders

will work but you have to put a 2x4 on wall to sit rock on then tilt it into wall. it will save you time, effort, and backpain. For the price of the tool it is well worth it.

I think so, you would need to use appropriate drywall anchors. The basket is a little heavy and then adding any extra weight would pull it off if you use just screws in the wall.

my guess is that they will not work with mortar or bricks, but I haven't tried using them for that purpose. They are so much better at the usual task than others of the same size though.

I mounted it above my fireplace on a brick the bricks. I would not use the concrete ancors included in the kit as they are made for the lag bolts. I used Tapcon anors and drilled only into the mortar lines as these holes are easily filled in if you choose to remove the mount at a later date. I used six screws and it will not come off of the wall by accident.

It would would look great. But you have to have really high ceilings and anchors to hold and stabilize it to the wall and one another. It would look really awesome though.

Yes. My grandpa was a master carpenter and I remember that he once mounted something on brick for us. I don't think he even had to find a stud, he just drilled holes into the brick, inserted those plastic reinforcement thingies, are those these "anchors" everyone keeps mentioning? Anyway, these provide a surface screws can bite into, and screwed whatever it was onto the wall that way! :-) You will most likely need a masonry bit for your drill to drill the holes. Sounds like you'll have a cool looking set-up when you are finished! Good luck! :-)

I wouldn't recommend that. A picture stays in place without much resistance. You'll be bumping and pulling on this. Pick up a small set of tile drill bits and screw it into the wall with plastic anchors.

It could, but you would probably need a backer board as the frame is hollow. There would be no place for the glue other than on the thin edges. I'd screw it to the board, then glue the board to the wall. Another option would be to use a masonry bit, drill some pilot holes, and put some plastic anchors in the masonry, then screw into it.
