| Can it be done? I relocated many boulders on our property to one garden area using a Bobcat. Most sustained scratches on the surface where the bucket scraped them. Any suggestions in minimizing the exposed rock surfaces? Thanks much. Keith |

| Are the boulders acidic or basic. If basic, Muriatic acid (HCl) might help. If acidic, a strong base - lye, perhaps? |

| The other thing you could try is if you have any broken chips, pulvarize them into a very small sand size grit, clean the rocks and use a clear adhesive in the scratches for the grit to adhere to. |
