There used to be a heavy, lead based paint in white and black but of course lead is now evil. We use industry Litho sprays such as grey shadow and black shadow.

In the case of hand cut (chisel) letters on marble, which is porous and soft (modern stones are much harder granite) they’d have to be hand painted with a pointed brush using a flat black that is composed like “Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Flat Black”. This fast drying paint if not applied too heavily per coat won’t tend to soak into the stone causing a fat fuzzy look around the letters. The job on the stone in the thread took some caring person a decent amount of time to do.

Ignoring for a monent that Andrew Jackson was a founding father, why do you say that?

Something of interest devolve

[BenLurkin]

Andrew Jackson was not a founding father.

He was only nine years old in 1776!

[RC one]

That’s debatable but it’s really just a strawman argument.

[BenLurkin]

In memoriam--our civil service as it was, A Political cartoon by Thomas Nast showing statue of Andrew Jackson on pig, which is over "fraud," "bribery," and "spoils," eating "plunder."

[BenLurkin]

You mean he was not born in 1767?

Is that is what is debatable?

Or is the fact that he was not one of the men who founded our nation somehow not pertinent?

I have a picture of my gr gr gr gr gr grandfathers tombstone.
It’s on private property in upstate NY, he died about 1817

Not much is legible anymore.

[RC one]

I politely asked you a simple question. You couldn’t answer it so you threw up a strawman. I won’t respond to it again.

[BenLurkin]

Oh.

Okay.
