Please, Cindy,
Don't use these products on stone. They are all detrimental to the health
of the stone.

Subject: [INPCRP] Chalk
I have been working along side a group of volunteers cleaning head
stones.
We have been using sidewalk chalk to read the stones.
I have heard recommendation of using a carpenters/lumberman chalk. We have
used
something similar. A black graphite stick. Which looks like a black
chalk. This substance is rubbed on gently, then spray with water and gently
brush the stone. It gives a nice shadow effect enabling the person to read
it a little easier.
Have any of you listers used graphite before, if so what is your
recommendation.
And where would be a good place to purchase some in bulk?
