1. A process for constructing a wall formed of multiple courses of masonry blocks, each of said blocks being formed of a material that includes aluminum oxide as a significant component thereof; and employing as a bonding agent between facing surfaces of said blocks an amide closed-cell foam material which following application cures by absorbing moisture from its environment, the process comprising: setting a first course of said masonry blocks; applying onto the blocks of the first course an amount of said amide foam material; setting additional ones of said masonry blocks onto the first course, and being adhered thereto by said amide closed-cell foam material, to form a second course of said masonry blocks; applying onto the blocks of the second course an amount of said amide foam material; and permitting said closed-cell foam material to cure in place between said masonry blocks to form said wall.
