Have some paving slabs forming a few steps on a patio.
The slabs have a couple of inches of overhang (which i know they should not have) so when people walk on the very edge, after a while the slabs tip up and become loose.
I could try cementing them down again, but wonder if i could use something that would be more adhesive than cement? Any suggestions?
Can they be re-worked so that their back edge tucks under the riser of the next step ?

Support/fill in the overhangs with bricks or stone.
Indeed - or just more paving slabs on edge, effectively moving the riser out a bit.
I had this problem, question posed here some months back, and was told to try SBR added to cement mortar, both surfaces washed with a cement SBR "primer" and then mortared with 3:1 sand:cement mix with SBR. Still holding so far.

Only THREE years too late this time!
Yes somebody needs desperately to fix that bloody servers date algorithm. Just using the month is just bonkers. Brian
