new pool owner, question on securing loose stones

[lordmundi]

The home inspector found quite a few loose stones around the perimeter of the pool See attached video and photos. I was thinking I would just lift these up as much as I can without messing up too much of the mortar, and then squirting some liquid nails made for masonry under there and pushing them back down to glue them in place. Is that sufficient? I've never used liquid nails around chlorine before so didn't know if there was something special about that. Also, I'm guessing that I will probably need to repair or replace the mortar between these stones. What mortar do you recommend for that?

Thanks so much for the advice. I don't have any details on the pool because I haven't moved in yet and I'm just trying to prepare as much as I can to fix the items found on the inspection report. Thanks!

Type S mortar is used both to anchor the coping and fill the gaps in between the stones.

ok help me out... is the coping the tiles/stones? Meaning I shouldn't use liquid nails?

Coping is the stone sitting on top of the bond beam.

Meaning I shouldn't use liquid nails?

I have never heard of liquid nails being used for that. I would be concerned if you need to remove a stone.
