Leveling Bricks must be aligned along the length of the brick, so that they receive the load evenly. The technique is to place bricks in parallel to the wall or support we are building. The thickness of the wall or wall depend on the width of the brick. If the bricks are uneven, establish a level or by adding more mortar pushing them so that when passing the handle of the palette are all level.
