Fence
Treatment
I recently
visited the missions of San Antonio. The walls are made of limestone
and concrete. If you look at the limestone you'll see that nature
has literally melted inches off the surface.
There
are two forces of nature working against the stone. One, is freeze
thaw. When water saturates into the surface of the stone and freezes,
the water expands.
At
the same time, the stone contracts when freezing. This process slowly
eats away the rock surface. Secondly, we have what's called acid
rain. This means the water alone over time melts the surface.
I recommend
sealing stone with solexene. This is a liquid sealer with a small
molecule size.

The
sealer penetrates the stone encapsulating the small granules that
make up the stone. When it dries it has a natural look.
Now,
the stone will not absorb moisture. The cracks will also be protected.
