Set in stone - Resene Stone Strengthener
With growing interest in handcrafted forms, stone sculptures are once again proving a popular form of expression for many artists. With a history dating back to at least pre-historic times, modern day sculptors can work wonders with just a chisel and hammer.

Stone sculptures can consume many painstaking hours and days in their formation and once complete the outer layer of the stone is often porous with little strength against the ravages of Mother Nature. Artists can now protect their precious work with Resene Stone Strengthener. Resene Stone Strengthener is a 100% active material that is designed with a low molecular weight to penetrate deep into friable stone and cementitious materials. Once there it utilises moisture in the air to deposit reinforcing silica into the matrix of the substrate. Ideal for lightweight concrete, Oamaru stone, sandstone, weathered brick and weathered plaster, Resene Stone Strengthener is also very useful on weathered building exteriors, strengthening the substrate with negligible changes in surface appearance.

Resene Stone Strengthener is made to order and can be requested from Resene ColorShops.
