Nope.

Jahn does not shrink.  The trick is cleaning out any failed stone, putting
on a slurry coat (which you don't have to let dry)and then building it up
and scree back to the shape you want.  In fact, you can build it up to six
inches on a vertical surface with just one lift. It's easy stuff to work
with, but you have to do it in a specific way.  That's why we sell it to
certified applicators.  Tell your friend to contact me.

We have just increased the number of standard colors.  I think there are
about 30 sandstone colors alone.

So, the dried crickets secret is out.  Of course they can only be added
during the full moon.  Makes for challenging production schedules, I would
guess.

Larry,

BP does seem to be a place to connect. What you will connect with we shall
see. Welcome. :-)

First question... my friend Charley says Jahn patches shrink. I told him it
all depends on the ability of the mechanic and that if you do a dumb thing
you get dumb results. He insists on using Keim because it won't shrink, but
they can't seem to get any colors that match a tan stone closer than a
custom
firetruck red. You guys seem to be pretty good with color matches. Any ideas
you can help me out here?

Second question, can you tint a Jahn patch to match Boston ivy? ;-)

Third, I hear Jahn uses ground up cave crickets in their mix. Is there any
truth to this rumor?

Hope to see you at the IPTW in November.
