Please if you don’t know what you are doing… do nothing! It’s better than destroying an entire cemetery!
Michigan Heroes Museum in Frankenmuth Michigan is by far the best museum experience I have ever had!

Take a few minutes to walk through a small part of this museum and hear a few stories of these amazing men and women who fought to preserve democracy not only in our country but abroad… some of the stories I heard today are amazing, heartbreaking, and sad but most of all worthy of sharing and recognizing.
Construction adhesives are NOT the answer

Construction adhesives will hold for a very short period of time but are never long lasting… it’s better to use materials that are strong, bond well and have longevity.

Beautiful❤ Great work!
It's nice that you're honoring them by preserving their place of rest. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so very much for all you do in restoring these beautiful markers.
I have Tryon in my tree also. I have a little more digging to do.
You used a little different method of glue up with the board. I liked it.
Yea, I just happened to have the board in my truck so I figured I would use it. Especially with the break so close to the bottom
Love to watch your videos. I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all you do. It's very time consuming. May all your work be blessed and consecrated.. God bless you!!
Thank you so much!
Great restoration job. See Tryon was family name. I have Tryons in my tree. But none of them.
Well done, Sir! ❤
Thank you kindly!
what was the soap you said you used? Orbix? Is it pH neutral?
It’s called Orvus. Yes it has a pH of 7.8 and is non ionic
I have seen one video where the used molasses first to protect the stone before spraying paint.
That technique is used on rough stone with deep lettering. You haven’t seen me use that technique because I haven’t needed to use that technique. Everything I have painted has been polished stone.
wtg!
Thank you for posting this information.
Good advice mate!
Beautiful post, Justin. Thanks for all you do. You're truly amazing, man! 👏
Glad you enjoy it!
a cemetery is a park for dead people
Cemeteries are more for the living than the dead
Absolutely love it ! Happy Thanksgiving friend !
Thanks! Happy thanksgiving to you too!
That's awsome
That’s awesome!
Have you ever heard of The necromancer?
I don’t think so
That's neat buddy 👍..hey I was wondering what brand of stuff do you buy like to glue marble tombstone back together? I found a couple that the base has busted off the side and it won't hold the stone upright
I use Akemi akepox 5010
That should get you lots of attention😂
Hahaha probably!
Hello, what do you use? I would like to do this to a couple of headstones that I’ve seen they’re also in my bio you can check them out. What would you recommend putting in between two pieces of headstone? Thank you for your time.
Beautiful video.
Thank you very much!
Good to see you my friend. Happy Thanksgiving !
Same to you! Happy holidays!
I was driving and had to turn around and stop a guy at a church cemetery from using a pressure washer on the stones. I told him about D/2 and offered to help clean them. I hope he didn't pressure wash them anyway.
Ugh!
Well I'm glad you uploaded a video you know I've been wondering how you're doing and all because a few videos back you were getting a little bit hesitant about doing a lot so glad you're doing all right take care and have a good Thanksgiving
That is that is so sad that's terrible because sandstone you know you get it wet and if the Sun shines on it that wet sandstone is going to get clean just from the Sun bleaching it out and shining on it and cleaning it without any chemicals
Great knowledge and a great lesson!
Great detailed explanation.
Where are you at?
I was at Old Hope this morning
WTG Justin!
Better than cleangirl
Oh hell yea!
Congrats on your TV spot! Plus, I 100% agree with you!
Thanks my friend! Good to hear from you! How have you been?
Wow
You are truly a wonderful person. 💛
Thank you!
i saw the memorial at fort bowie where the ambush took place. I remember picturing the apache on top of the hills looking down on the scene of the battle before they attacked. Gave me goosebumps
I bet that is quite the sight to see
@@Headstoneman i was the only person there that day, felt like i was being watched. Very surreal
I love this post
We're you able to fill in the holes and open cracks?
Oh yes… I did do an initial layer of infill on this one to seal it up… I still have to finish it though.
@Headstoneman Sorry. Texted to soon. I seen it at the end. Great job.
What if several ghosts rise out of the graves?
What kind of paint should be used on marble? Thank you :)
He used an oil based (or enamel) paint titanium oxide white, and acetone and q tip to clean up. Make sure you give the surface a good clean before painting
Very impressive did you end up doing the bigger letters
You should not paint marble.
No just the ones in this video
What is the address and web address of this museum?
It is in the first 5 minutes of the video. The web address is MIheroes.org but I don’t know the address off the top of my head. It is on Weiss street in Frankenmuth
I love military museums and the memorial to the Korean War vets, like my dad. Thanks for the video.
Wow! I’m 2 hours away and had no idea that was there. I always think of Frankenmuth as the Christmas town of the mitten ha. I definitely will be visiting that museum. Thanks for the video. Cheers from southwest Michigan.
I think that museum is awesome, every state should have at least one.
Incredible
What an awesome experience.
What can I use instead if cuttlefish?
Cuttlefish is the best.
What kind of soap? I can't understand what he's using.
Orvus paste
The other cause of sunken markers is the mowers the use now are heavier than 20-30 years ago and they mash the headstones down into the ground. I noticed that the also knock the headstones off their bases and they never get straightened back. I spent many days straightening rows up once only to have them messed up the next time they mowed…city maintained cemeteries are the worst.
Sei un grande! Sei una persona con una grande spiritualità! I morti meritano rispetto e memoria! Ti abbraccio con affetto ❤
