To make the letters stand out better, why not try something that will wash off quickly to darken them. I have used ashes on a white stone and baing powder on dark ones. Both can be brushed off the smooth surface of the stone, leaving the impressions more visible. Then the stone can be cleaned by nature (or brushed off with a light paint brush in the case of the ashes).<br><br>Robyn Greenlund<br><br><b><i>or-roots-request@sosinet.sos.state.or.us</i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Send or-roots mailing list submissions to<br> or-roots@sosinet.sos.state.or.us<br><br>To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit<br> http://sosinet.sos.state.or.us/mailman/listinfo/or-roots<br>or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to<br> or-roots-request@sosinet.sos.state.or.us<br><br>You can reach the person managing the list at<br>
