Hi. I may be able to give you some basics based on AGS guidelines. I have restored about 4000 stones in the last 5 years,over 1200 in 2005. If you contact me offline I will try to help you with the do's and dont's. I had a recent 150 stone restoration at London,KY at Breastworks Hill Cemetery. The key is to not think you can do it all..sometimes it requires experience,knowledge,and deciding what is best for the stone,not just what is fast and easy.
