Sawn small flags for use as drive edging - How to 'stick' them down

[Dave_L]

I've got to lay some 300 x 100 x 20 sawn stone "slabs" for want of a better word for the edging of a gravel driveway.

What would be the best method of doing so? I was thinking along the lines of a kerb race and bed the "slabs" on a 15/20mm bed of motar.

Does this sound like a feasible plan? Could I coat the underside of the slabs to promote a good stick/bond to the race - or just "no more nails" the b'stards down to the race?

Answers/suggestions welcome!

Why 20mm Dave? Sounds a bit thin

It's what the customer has already - they are what he has edged his other paving areas with. I say 20mm, could be 25mm - they vary a little.
