The sign was attached with anchors.  The wall will need some fill at these areas. I thought about mildew,  would that penetrate all the way through the stone?  This wall is exterior and has been abused by a hot Cal. sun for many years.  I don’t think it has ever been sealed. It’s a little chalky.

 

 

 

Jerry,

 

After viewing the pictures I ‘m assuming the round dark circle is the discoloration your trying to remove.

 

The first question, how was the signage attached? Was it glued on the travertine?

 

If the sign was glued on the wall  try cleaning with alkaline stripper  or try some acetone

 

If that does not work you may need to use an adhesive remover  or a paint stripper

 

Have you tried cleaning with bleach, perhaps this is mildew that has built up behind the sign over years.

 

If that does not work try honing it off , you may need to use bleach in you water this may help remove some of the staining.

 

 

If possible when sending pictures try to send close up of the problem , the closer you can get the easier it is to see the problem.
