You can buy a caulking that is used to bond retaining wall bricks together. They have it at Lowe's and Home Depot.

There's a product made by the Liquid Nails people that is specifically for concrete and rock.  Not sure it's water tight, though, but you could always follow up with silicone caulk.

How did your project work out, Vetts?

OMG, did we meet a few days ago??!!  I had a gentleman come into the granite shop I work at with the same question.  If so, I'm the little red-head!  How funny.

That is very funny!!  Too bad I wasn't feeling well that day or I'd have been much more helpful.  I'm normally verging on disgustingly sunny  ::)  I will pass on the word about the epoxy.  Now that we're not strangers, we may just have to meet up!  :)

epoxy finally came so used it yesterday . so far so good , now have some black foam to try to improve waterfall  . it was professionally installed last year and my tip of the day is '' you want a pond , do it yourself'' .
