Robert ,

 

The first question I have are you currently using a water feed hand machine? If so you not going to control the water.

 

My recommendations are:

 

1.       Use a hand machine that is low rpm 500 to 700 at a low speed , you can get a machine that is not water feed with this low rpm.

2.       Purchase some painter traps from Home Depot or one of those stores

3.       Place the traps around the table approximately 3 foot from the edge of the table, this will catch any splashes that you may get.

4.       Using a spray bottle wet the  lightly wet the area you are going to work on, usually a 2  foot by 2 foot area.

5.       Then start you honing process using your diamonds needed to remove any damage.

6.       Work around the table in 2x 2 areas until the table is completed removing with a squeeze any excess water into a bucket after you completed each 2x2 area.

7.       Be sure to use your hand machine  on the lowest RPM setting.

8.       Repeat the process until completed.

9.       To achieve a good consistent honed finish I would recommend finishing the table using a 400 honing powder, if the 400 powder give you too much shine finish with a 250 to 300 powder.

 

The use of low RPM machine is the answer to working in home on table, vanity top , counter tops etc.

 

Hope this help
