	I'm building a flagstone walkway.This piece will be at the "house" end of the walkway. When I got these about 15 years ago I didn't notice this crack in the side. The stone is 30" high at the peak and 40" wide and the crack is across the entire top surface. It is loose, but not cracked or broken. my best guess is that the crack runs through about the top 30% of the stone and I'd hate for it to break after it is installed. My thought is to simply thin some epoxy with MEK and slowly fill the crack as best as I can. I've got kool deck repair plaster but it is too think to use here. Any suggestions are welcome.

	Well, not so fast.Sand bed down, first course fitted. And later courses set in place. Had to take a time out from this for other projects. Getting ready for a 15 yard concrete pour this week, among other smaller tasks.

	That looks FANTASTIC. Wish I could do something like that in my back yard, however, the stairs from the back porch go right to the sidewalk, so there's no space for decorative touches like this. __________________ ( The opinions espressed in this post may not reflect the true opinions of the poster, and may not reflect commonly accepted versions of reality. ) (If you are wondering: yes, I DO hope to live to be as old as my jokes.)

	Thank you. As usual it has taken longer than I originally estimated, but there's no deadline for me. After selecting the next course of stone, mixing concrete, shoveling it in and placing the stone, all of which takes about an hour, I'm done for the day. 50 years ago I'd have had it done in two days. Filling in all the spaces will still take some time, but that I've got.
