Roger.

 

This is a general rule when polishing 90% of all marbles, there are similar rules for honing process.  Whenever you bid job you should be able to predict the time it will take to do each hone and polish.  There is a science to this process and I call tell you it works. This process is how I figured all my jobs from the smallest job to the largest job and I have hone and polished projects as large as 22,000 sq ft and predicted the time it would take to complete the project to the day.

I might be to your advantage to and the advantage to all partners to take 1 of my classes that deal with these process. I have been talking with Debbie and I will be offering a class in the near future, that will teach these process and others process that will make bidding and pricing simple and predictable.

 

If you and any of the partners are interested please let me know, I will put this class together for the partners only, remember I only take 8 students at a time.

 

Hope this information helps

John,

Is this your general rule when polishing most marbles?

 

"Then try using approximately 2 to 3 ounces of 5 X powder for every 10 sq.ft polish this area for approximately 4 minutes try using  this process and I thing you will find the stone will pop the shine and clarity you and you customer are looking for."

 

Thanks,

RK

Ray,

 

Sorry for the delay in responding been out of the office for several days. I think there are several thing you need to look at one been the polishing powders and the technique  

 

For all the brown marbles I have ever worked on I never go higher than a 800 grit.

 

Then I prefer using 5x powder the MB12 may be too hot and you are actually burning the stone because the powder is too hot.

 

The other item would be how long are you stay on a section of stone, you maybe over polishing and thus loosing you shine and clarity

 

Try re honing the stone from a 400 to 800, this  would remove any burning you may have inflicted into the stone.

 

Then try using approximately 2 to 3 ounces of 5 X powder for every 10 sq.ft polish this area for approximately 4 minutes try using  this process and I thing you will find the stone will pop the shine and clarity you and you customer are looking for.

 

Hope this helps

Hello

 

We are working on brown italian marble and using MB12.  But MB12 is making marble very hazy.  Any suggestions on what may be the problem?

 

Thank you for your feedback.
