kurt Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 I went through the various issues of sandstone details at the 42nd parallel with my client, the sandblasted brick, etc. He's knows he's into replacement, but he needs to squeeze a few more years out of the stuff without it turning into a water collection hole in the wall. Soak it in siloxane, or a clear elastomeric? I'm inclined against all elastomerics, but could be convinced of it's benefit if someone had compelling information. Kibble? Fabry? Anyone got any new stone sealant they're excited about? Click to Enlarge 55.01 KB Click to Enlarge 53.5 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted October 18, 2010 Report Share Posted October 18, 2010 It can be restored and preserved. The only product to be used for sedimentary stone is Lithomex. Andy DeGruchy is the US supplier. Download Attachment: lithomex_recommend.pdf 120.35 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
