Her favorite is Loretta Lynn and Coal miners Daughter. Her whole family (Men) are Coal miners down in Muhlenberg Co. Ky. John, in order to get my Epoxy to work I artifically raise the temperature with my Torpedo Heaters. I turn the Burner on the Stone and myself and get it hot, with it on me, I know the stone is not being damaged, then Move the heat Back just to keep the area warm while I mix the Epoxy, then when the Stone gets to between 75 and 85 degrees I put it together. That's how and old time Stone Mason learns to work in cold weather. Until I got older, I worked all winter. You can also heat the stone with a propane weed burner which doesn't need electricity. Remember one thing, KEEP THE HEAT BACK AND RAISE THE TEMPERATURE SLOWLY with the Weed Burner. Heat the stone until it feels comfortable, then Stick it together. Also I have done this to quick dry my stone after a recent rain. Heck John, you've either done this or know about it, I don't need to tell you. Sorry about Madison, Something came up. Betty and I both planed to be there. I've even got the New Albany Trustee Ready to go out and work with me. See you Later, Hi Micki from Betty and I. Catch you later. I'm unsubscribing after 12:00 Noon tomorrow for about a week. IM having an Eye operation tomorrow at !:pm. If I don't catch anyone before noon tomorrow, catch everyone in about a week. Jack E.
