[QUOTE="Greenhornet_au, post: 605941, member: 8767"] Manpa, I contacted the SA Veterans Affairs person that does all the monumental Works for SA. He has provided us with all the required info, and is the go to guy for this. Basically a house hold bleach to start, 25 water to 1 bleach, scrub with bristle brush then allow to dry, coat with a chemical that will then seep into the pores and fine cracks of the stone every time it rains. This kills organics and pushes it to the surface for the next 6 months to a year depending on local conditions. NEVER brush over the lettering which is lead or lead zinc, and can be VERY fragile, just spay with chems and let that do the work. The bleach MUST be fully rinsed off and used only the first treatment. [b] Acids can not ever be used !![/b] I will be consulting Tillet about the lettering in the near future, it is expensive and something I cant afford, however there may be alternatives approved by Vet Affairs that they may supply. ;) [/QUOTE]
