GLASS BLOCK 1/2 WALL

JIMBO599 | Posted in Construction Techniques on

IN BUILDING AN UPPER  1/2 SHOWER WALL WITH GLASS BLOCK ON TOP OF A SYNTHETIC (ONYX COLLECTION =  alumina trihydrate) BASE CAP.
DOES ANYONE HAVE SUGGESTIONS FOR GLASS BLOCK ADHERENCE TO THE BASE MATERIAL. I’M NOT SURE THAT NORMAL GLASS BLOCK MORTAR WILL ADHERE TO THE SYNTHETIC BASE.
THE WALL WILL HAVE ONLY ONE VERTICAL WALL SUPPORT WITH THE OTHER SIDE BEING FREE STANDING.
AS A 55 YEAR D.I.Y.er, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY SUGGESTIONS AND SIMILARLY BUILT PROJECTS.
THANK YOU.
JIM

    I've always cut a keyway into whatever base or end-wall
