Greetings, All, from the frozen winterland of Wisconsin! (Yes, I
know technically it's spring, but tell that to the Wisconsin weather
gods--it's snowing as I write this...)
    My name is Mike Beckmann, and I am the owner of Bonstone Materials
Corporation.  Bonstone has been around since 1962, and I purchased the
company from King Harte in 1992.  King is a chemist, and married into
the stone business (his father-in-law ran a stone yard), so King began
working in the stone yard. He immediately had the idea that he could
come up with better adhesives than what he was currently able to buy--
and the rest is history.
    Bonstone formulates and manufactures adhesives and repair compounds,
specifically engineered to work with stone. We like to think we know
stone, but we sure as hell know adhesives!  Our products have been
proven the world over for over 40 years. We continually maintain contact
with our customers and the industry, and as a result are continually
developing new and innovative products. I was introduced to this forum
by Mark James, and have been monitoring the traffic for several days--I
am convinced that I can learn a lot from you folks, and hopefully I can
contribute a few tidbits as well (I am a chemist by training, and before
I bought Bonstone I worked for 10 years as a paint chemist).

    Looking forward to participating!
Mike
