Looking for a product to repair old marble and sandstone headstones. Something easy to work with that will bond these stones some of them broken for many years together for good. someone else tried to use mortar which as expected failed and looks like... Thank you for your help.

If the headstones can be handled by hand or are minor re-attachments, I would recommend the Fast Set™ Extreme epoxy for structurally bonding them together ( Just a bead going down the middle should be good.)

For bonding larger stones together or headstone’s that need to be manipulated by tripods or cranes, I recommend the Duopoxi.

For patching the face joint or seam I recommend the Last Patch™ Gel- you can either sand flush or mask off the area and scribe flush and then blow ground up stone dust on the Last Patch Gel. You may also use a mortar with latex additive to knife in the face joint.
