John,
Do you know anyone in Northeastern Indiana that would be willing to give a
workshop on stone repair? My cousin is VERY into the repair and I have an
interest too. I have a genealogy club at the middle school where I teach
and my student members seem to be relatively interested in it too. The
problem is that we live in or near Fort Wayne and the trip to Connersville
is a long one....trust me I know I've done it a few times doing research on
the Worster and Milner clans!
Thanks in advance

Diana,
I can help you find the epoxies,as Lois said there are
several.I use MASTICO It works real well with most stone
repair.It comes in several different colors which allows for a better color
match.Unfortunately I do not have their address with me at this time.Stone
repair can go from a simple fix to
very complicated procedure.There is no way to explain one certain method of
repair as each stone is different,depending on the age of the break , the
weathering of the stone and the amount of pieces it has.
It is better to be shown through hands on workshops but this can be
difficult as so many people want to learn what can be done.Since you are in
Rush county which is a neighboring county to Fayette I could meet with you
and or others interested and get y
ou started by repairing a few of your broken stones and introduce you to the
materials needed and the proper methods.If you would like to set up a
workshop contac me at 765-825 7313.
