The Stone Restoration Encyclopedia, Volume II (I-P) continues where the first volume left off, diving deeper into the craft, science, and real-world practice of restoring, repairing, and maintaining natural stone surfaces.
This volume covers topics from Identifying Unknown Stone Types to Polishing Compounds, Poultices, and Pressure Washing Safety-all written from decades of hands-on experience in the field. It strips away marketing hype and quick fixes, replacing them with solid technical guidance and practical insight for professionals who actually work with stone every day.
Inside, you'll find in-depth sections on impregnating sealers and their chemistry, joint repair and regrouting, limestone and marble restoration, moisture detection and mapping, maintenance scheduling, and even misleading product claims that every contractor should learn to spot. Each entry is explained in plain language, backed by both field-tested experience and scientific understanding.
This isn't a generic reference book written from a desk. It's a working encyclopedia built from the ground up for stone restoration contractors, inspectors, conservators, and maintenance professionals-a tool you'll actually use, not just put on a shelf.
Volume II continues the mission of the series: to create the first truly comprehensive encyclopedia on stone restoration, repair, and preservation, covering everything from chemistry and technique to ethics and inspection standards.
Whether you're troubleshooting a moisture shadow, testing a sealer, or planning a full restoration project, this book gives you the knowledge and confidence to do it right.
