Scott the engineered stones need their own types of diamonds
As well if you touch it, you may remove its guarantee, Ceaser
Stone for example here work that way.
There is something I have been doing for a while that has been
really working for me, in every way.
I make a mock up of the “difficult “ stones and
grind and polish them at my garage, and use those as samples to show the
customer.
I usually explain the complexity of the stone and that this test
is needed to ensure the finish and that it can be duplicated in their environment.
At the same time , I have it done by my man, with my
supervision, this way if it’s a small job I can actually place him rather
than me allowing me to go look for more work.
If I feel that there is another competitor than I may not charge
for the test, if the customer makes me understand that she has been having
trouble looking for a solution, than I think asking for a fee is
comprehensible.

if it is in face engineered
stone you want to be very careful with metal bond diamonds. I would start with
a resin bond and just work it longer. Be careful cause you can easy burn the
stone

Hi Guys
[Scott Wilson asked the following question but it was sent
to me instead of the group. Just in case you didn't see it from when I
forwarded it earlier, here is his question again.]
Yesterday i looked at a large master bath floor of polished
12 x 12 , it appears to be some sort of engineered marble containing crema
marfil. Recently the cleaning lady spilled vinegar water used for window
washing and left it to dry,There is a perfect etched area where the water
sat and the etching is deep enough to feel
However: the etching is consistant on the entire area, it is the same on the
areas of stone i know to be marble, as the areas i suspect to be
engineered,Also lippage is fairly extensive and the floor will require grinding
with metal discs
Dose anyone have any experence with this kind of stone?
can i use 70 grit metal and polish with resin or combination resin / powder?
thanks in advance for any help you guys can give
"Big Blessings" Scott Wilson
