Hi All, While we are on the subject of headstones, I am going to Mull later this year and would love to clean the headstone of a relative which was in a terrible state when I was there on my annual visit last year. It is made from the pink Mull granite and I am afraid of causing more damage. The lettering is still visible on most of it, but won't be for much longer unless it can be cleaned and perhaps coated with something to inhibit the growth of lichen, etc. Any suggestions? June. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Hotmail is evolving - check out the new Windows Live Mail http://ideas.live.co.uk
