Robert,
Caution , the tape has a heavy adhesive on it, stronger than
duct tape and I seem duct tape pull the small minerals from the stone. once
this occurs there is no fix and the it could affect the finish on the edge.
Even with the tape if you plan on using a water feed machine you
are flirting with the possibility of not controlling your water.
If you machine is a high RPM machine you still need to be
concerned with the water sling you may have. I’ve restores many of table and
vanity top in homes and the process I recommended I have found to be the best
to control the water and any sling of slurry.

I use an aluminium tape, the kind that’s used on sheet
metal ducting. It can be formed to make a dam for water management. Very
useful when working next to carpet , wood or counter tops etc..

I could have sworn I read a post or an
article a while ago about a special tape some guys have used on the edge of the
countertop to create a dam for the water. When I hone in my shop I never use powder
I get great results just using diamonds, why do you recommend powder and when
one uses powder should they use a hogs hair pad or diamonds.

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

Hi
all
I
need to re-hone a marble top in a
customers home. I have had great results in my fab shop using diamonds/wet. Does
anyone have any ideas on how to contain the water in my customers home.
Thanks
