Just go to your nearest gravestone salesyard and get the corner markers
that they use to show the corners of cemetery plots.  They have letters on
them but I would imagine you could get them with numbers.  Ruth

Dan,

It is total crap. Once the Sika materials is on the stones to chisel it off
will remove the surface of the stone, at the least leave chisel marks, or
otherwise screw up the stone. Besides that it will look like a lump of
concrete gray stuff. What they should do is order a set of granite stones,
matching the existing granite, to set in the ground behind the curb with
the numbers cut into the top flat surface of them, or w/ nice brass number
plates that look at least intentional.

Ken

they do not need to be large stones, just large enough to hold the
numbers... like those bricks you can get with names pressed into them
