Michigan Heroes Museum in Frankenmuth Michigan is by far the best museum experience I have ever had!
Take a few minutes to walk through a small part of this museum and hear a few stories of these amazing men and women who fought to preserve democracy not only in our country but abroad… some of the stories I heard today are amazing, heartbreaking, and sad but most of all worthy of sharing and recognizing.

Construction adhesives are NOT the answer

Construction adhesives will hold for a very short period of time but are never long lasting… it’s better to use materials that are strong, bond well and have longevity.

    The other cause of sunken markers is the mowers the use now are heavier than 20-30 years ago and they mash the headstones down into the ground. I noticed that the also knock the headstones off their bases and they never get straightened back. I spent many days straightening rows up once only to have them messed up the next time they mowed…city maintained cemeteries are the worst.

    Interesting, but I’m confused. Standard recommendation for basement wall repair is injected epoxy. However, if there’s still water or moisture intrusion, recommendation is for injected polyurethane adhesive with better resistance to moisture. This is conflicting with the data sheets you showed. I wonder if the epoxy from Germany is ultra expensive which shows the German epoxy being much stronger after water emersion, not like the $7-$12 10oz landscape adhesive you’re comparing against.

    • @Headstoneman
      @Headstoneman Місяць тому

      This comment is comparing apples to oranges… the two materials are made to do two different things and only one of the products is capable of doing what the other one can do effectively… it’s not the construction adhesive

      As far as the material the tombstone is made of? Granite by far is the best. Most of the industry has moved toward granite only now

    Good info. I use PC Products masonry epoxy. It is a two-part epoxy specifically designed for repairing broken masonry and is not a mortar. I repaired a few monuments 4 years ago and they are holding strong. Let me know your thoughts on this product.

    • @Headstoneman
      @Headstoneman Місяць тому

      Hard to tell, all the testing on the technical data sheet was done on anchor rods… no stone to stone bonding tests. That being said the cure strength is a little lower than the epoxies I use but probably sufficient

    My product is approved by the VA. It is in use on bronze nationwide. It is for bronze there is no claim anywhere that it is a stone cleaner.

    • @Headstoneman
      @Headstoneman Місяць тому

      Absolutely zero mention of your product on the VA website or in the NCA cleaning protocol. Also… you’re right… your cans no longer say bronze and granite cleaner on them… but somewhere at home I have one that I used a black marker to black out the words “granite sealer” on the can. Also the things you told me over the phone about the VA wanting something other than D/2 to clean headstones with has not proven to be true yet. Honestly you really should look into changing the way you restore bronze… it can be done totally non abrasive with products that don’t harm the bronze. I feel ashamed that I ever took your advice on restoring bronze… and I’m glad I have found a new way.

  • @misszsazsa6288
    @misszsazsa6288 Місяць тому

    Just a question for you- after watching you apply the epixy and using the tightening clamps to this headstone, it occurrd to me that there must still be slight cracks or areas that the epoxy doesn't fill up to the surface of the headstone. Do you live in an area that has deep freezes during the winter months? I know where I live in Canada, any slight crack on a non-flexible surface loke concrete or stone is a death knell for the object, whether it is a concrete garden pots, a granite headstone or whatever. Any moisture getting in a tiny crack will expand as soon as it freezes up when the temperture drops below freezing. This continues throughout the winter if there happens to be any freeze/thaw cycles and some stone objects become junk by the time the next spring and summer roll around. So does the epoxy you put on the edges of the stones completely occlude any water from entering the break or do you work in one of the southetn states. Curious 🇨🇦 lady here, married to a guy who grew up in AZ, CA, and TX who really had no idea of winter until moving up here.

    • @misszsazsa6288
      @misszsazsa6288 Місяць тому

      Ahh, I see from your other posts you are Michigan based so of course you will well know the freeze thaw cycles that can occur in the winter. I also saw you re-build a headstone and in due time, applied mortar to close up those cracks! You do fabulous work my friend! Thank you! 🙌🙌❤

    • @Headstoneman
