"A Repair Can Last for Years"
**This old repair in Old St. A's, was
done many years ago, and is still
holding together in 2010.
**doing this has helped the stone from
being destroyed by lying in the grass
and soil and being run over with
lawnmowers, and cemetery vehicles.
**tis one of the reasons that this new
restoration project has taken flight.Aug 11, 2010

"Caulking Sealants Deteriorate"
we've been told that when the
sealants crumbled, that rain & ice can
get in between the stone toppers and
the stones themselves. Then the wind
can slide the toppers right off.
**you can see from this close up that
the last bit of the topper is ready to
fall to the ground and probably be
broken beyond repair.
**whole stones can also slide right off
their foundations, causing serious damageAug 11, 2010

"Caulking Sealants Deteriorate"
Example: How Tops of Monuments are Ruined.
**checking this stone found the old sealant had
crumbled and let the weather elements in
causing the top to slide and fall.
**broken into 2 pcs., will cause more work
**steel peg & epoxy to be used
**will assemble and re-attach to stone
**Vandalism is quite often the cause of
toppers being damaged also.Aug 11, 2010

Resetting a Grave Stone Topper
**Epoxy and some manpower
allowed this large, heavy "Cross"
to be returned to it's original
position for years to come.
**this epoxy product is very strong
& is used to seal the complete edge
of the topper where it meets the
grave stone.Aug 11, 2010
