These days, getting address stones has become very common. The etched stone tombstones have turned out to be extremely admired with the application of lasers and other tools for carrying out carving. In addition to homes, these can be very often at the entry of shopping centers, subdivisions, major stores, and the like. They can be quite attractive but are even fairly pricey and typically need more than simple muscle to get them into place.
If you’ve got an address marker at home but has lost its shine, the following steps can help giving it a wonderful finishing touch once again:
1. Clean the stone
Clean the stone either by washing it with the help of a garden hose or vacuuming it and allowing it to dry. It just needs to be cleaned enough to paint, so all that is actually required is to get rid of the small rock chips and dust from the lettering.
2.Paint
Each letter is supposed to be carefully painted with the help of a little artists’ brush. Black is a common color, but others can work as well. When it comes to a stone address marker, it is ideal to make use of a dark brown or red epoxy paint to accent the letters. The paint will be expected to be done again in a few years. Epoxy type paint will last longer but will be more difficult to work with before it sets up.
3.Get the site ready
A shallow trench is plowed in the ground to accept this stone mark and hold it straight, but it could even be supported through steel rods driven into the ground.
