Good info. I use PC Products masonry epoxy. It is a two-part epoxy specifically designed for repairing broken masonry and is not a mortar. I repaired a few monuments 4 years ago and they are holding strong. Let me know your thoughts on this product.
Hard to tell, all the testing on the technical data sheet was done on anchor rods… no stone to stone bonding tests. That being said the cure strength is a little lower than the epoxies I use but probably sufficient
Interesting, but I’m confused. Standard recommendation for basement wall repair is injected epoxy. However, if there’s still water or moisture intrusion, recommendation is for injected polyurethane adhesive with better resistance to moisture. This is conflicting with the data sheets you showed. I wonder if the epoxy from Germany is ultra expensive which shows the German epoxy being much stronger after water emersion, not like the $7-$12 10oz landscape adhesive you’re comparing against.
This comment is comparing apples to oranges… the two materials are made to do two different things and only one of the products is capable of doing what the other one can do effectively… it’s not the construction adhesive

Great lesson, using the best product for any application can help insure the best result.
Absolutely!

Hi, I was wondering what you think is the best material for grave markers?
As far as the material the tombstone is made of? Granite by far is the best. Most of the industry has moved toward granite only now
