how to attach iron figurines to brick wall?

Posted by WestEnder z7 Atlanta GA (My Page) on

I have some cute little iron squirrels and birds that I have tried to attach to a brick wall using the same mortar that I used to hold the bricks together. It seemed to work for awhile, but after a few months the iron figurines can simply be lifted off the mortar. I'm not even trying to put these on the face of the brick wall, just on the top. Can anyone tell me what to use?

Some kind of glue maybe? There should be a glue made for that purpose.Something to attach metal to other surfaces.Silicone might work.The kind for outdoor use.Sorry I'm not much help......Lillie

You might try construction adhesive, or weatherproof silicone caulk. I used clear silicone caulk on a small structure I made with retaining wall blocks, and after it cured completely it held very well.
