Concrete/Brick glue???

[AMF]

I have a slight issue, some flower boxes I mounted on the side of a house are becomeing loose, and one has fallen down. I mounted the boxes on top of some wooden brackets I made and screwed those into some "lead" concrete anchors in the brick. They stayed strong all year but now that the soil is soggy they have become too heavy. What adhesive will work best to adhere the screws/anchors back into the same holes, I need to mount them in the same location. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Alex

I think if you looked at the various adhesives in any good hardware store, you'll find one that should solve your problem. Last year I had to bond rebar into some existing concrete steps. I found a product (whose name I can't remember -- which really makes this post useful) that comes in a tube that fits a caulking gun -- and problem was solved.

Hey, Alex. Provided the hole is clean, dry, and the outside of the lead anchors is "ribbed" then almost any epoxy product will solve your problem. At the hardware store you should even find some epoxy putty, you could fill the hole with that, drill a pilot hole and then run your screws back in.

Many "hole" construction issues in masonary today are solved on site with various epoxies.
