Interesting this is out of the norm for you. Central NY requirements are mostly 32-48” depth solid pour to grade, dry mixing as you showed is highly frowned upon.

Getting ready to clean monuments at two family plots. Interested in ingredients for cleaning solution.
@ForestHillsMemorialsandS-bj2bsАй бұрын
I do buy my cleaning solution from a granite supply house. I use D2. Would highly reccomend it if you can find it. Its what Arlington National Cemetery uses to clean our veterans memorials. You can also use wet n forget. You can find that at any big box store or on amazon. If you cant find either, Dawn dish soap will help get into the pours of the stone and help clean it

Ok so that is a pretty amazing way to repaint lettering. I like one of your responses on its easier than molasses because you don't need to find water wash it back off. But i do wonder what happens if you do get a little bit of paint on the stone. How do you go about getting that off ?

Why do you use D2 over other cleaners? How many markers can a gallon clean?
@ForestHillsMemorialsandS-bj2bs4 ай бұрын
D2 has been proven to be the best in the industry for cleaning granite or marble cemetery Memorials. Lots of studies have been done on it and that's also why Arlington national cemetery uses D2 on their Memorials. I've used other cleaners but D2 is by far the best. And it's biologically friendly. You can by small spray bottles of D2 and you can by upto 55 gallon drums of it. The amount you will use will depend on the size of the memorial and how dirty it is

Do you prefer Monumask to Molasses ? Monumask recommend that it should be put on the stone no thinner than 20mm on a polished stone, and no thinner than 30 mm on a porous unpolished stone. Yet the coat you rolled on looked maybe 5 mm thick. great video and a new subscriber here. thanks for sharing
@ForestHillsMemorialsandS-bj2bs4 ай бұрын
I prefer Mask over Molasses yes. Especially if I'm out in the cemetery. I don't need to have a water source to rinse the mask off. A lot of our rural cemeteries do not have water. I put it on pretty thin and have never had a problem. I'm sure they recommend a thicker coat to ensure there isn't any seep through.

I’m not sure what you charge for your opening/closings, but for an outside cemetery, we would charge $600 for a weekday cremation burial without a tent, or $800 total with a tent included. More on Saturdays depending on the time of arrival. I’m In Northwest Indiana not too far from you, just FYI

Do you not need foundation under stone ? I'm in Pa, and we have to dig 30 inches deep and fill with solid concrete. Do they lean over time ?

Some cemeteries require them so we do them. Most cemeteries around here do not want to disturb the Virgin soil and just add more weight under the stone. I relevel maybe 1 stone a year but mostly none and have been doing them this way for 25 years
