The red vinyl tape is also available at Home Depot / osh ,
Granite rock anywhere building materials are sold. It works
great and should be kept in your tape arsenal but cant be formed into
a L- shape dam , or a U- shape channel to divert water like the
foil tape If your jobsite conditions require this. There
is always a risk related to any tape so you may have to use 14 day tape
first then your foil, red or duct tape over that. Even then there
is no guarantees

Robert,
I agree you will get good results in your shop, your using
a lot of water and probably a high speed machine. I have always found the
powder give a nice look and give the stone a more consistent look.
Yes use a hog hair or a white pad will work.
If you need to make a dam on an area you are working on, then I
would recommend the red tape that you can get from StoneCare Central. This tape
hold very well both in wet and dry conditions and is totally safe when used on
the stone

thanks

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
