Last night I received an email from someone who has been in discussion with the president
of this company. He assures me that he has explored this product and that it is
non-acidic and will not harm stones. (No recommendation on my part at this point, but
thought I'd share the info.)
He is having the product tested on some old stones so will let you know if I hear the
outcome.
My concern, as always, is the long term effects (10-20-30 yrs +) which most companies do
not take the time to test for. Not having any knowledge of chemicals and their reactions,
etc., I tend to shy from using products that I'm not sure of. But that's me,
always ready to error on the side of caution.
Passing info and thoughts back around.

Subject: Re: [INPCRP] Wet and Forget - Product
Hi gang:
Just wanted you to know that I contacted the "wet and forget" web site and
asked for pricing. I also asked if they had a sample, I was told the
smallest amount was about $45.00. I also asked about did their product
remove the lichen that was so bad it was like a tar surface that was
impossible to remove and also that penetrated the stone. A lady replied to
me that she was assured that this product would work wonders. She would
suggest that you would pre-spray the real bad areas and let set for 30
minutes and then spray again the whole area and repeat if necessary. She
assured me that this would work. She also said that it was for anytype of
stone, cement, etc. Did any of you look at the pictures displayed on the
web site? The look good in the finished one. Anyway, if I remember
correctly, this company had an Australia address. Also their literature
said it can be used on tombstones, but does not say what kind. Just filling
in information no recomendation.
