Quoted text begins.You lay that square of lead over top of the letters'
outline on the stone.
End of quote.


Pete,

Thanks for the description from Crossley's book. I think this method
would also be suitable for replacing missing letters on an existing
monument (vertical face). The copy of "Lettering in Stone" that I ordered
should arrive here week after next.

Tillet's in Adelaide have a published a summary of their molten pouring
method here: http://www.tillett.com.au/monlet.htm

I apologise for sounding pedantic regarding the copyright issue. I only
meant that I wouldn't ask you to do it when I could order the book.
Don't let me stop you!

Simon
