Fred,
 
In the fall I plan to initiate a marketing campaign to the stone stores here in Austin Texas. My idea is to build a portable stone floor, maybe 6' x 6' or 8' x 8'.  I wanted the sales people in those stores to see a demo on what we can do with diamond encrusted pads.  I was thinking maybe travertine or marble.  I wanted to hone and polish for them in front of their very eyes, while they enjoy a lunch or breakfast at my expense.  This demo would take place in the warehouse area of these stores.  One question that I have for you would be "Once that I have polished a stone, how could I get it back to a scratched/etched condition so that I could do it again at the next demo. Also, any suggestions that you would have for this type of endeavor would be greatly appreciated.

Subject: RE: [sccpartners] Strongest epoxy?

General rule of thumb is the slower the epoxy cures the stronger the bond. So go for a 7 hour cure epoxy such as the Bonstone touchstone epoxy. if you can rod the pieces, thats what I would do.

Hi. Was wondering what the strongest epoxy for bonding to halves of a broken marble table would be. These are massive pieces and I'm afraid that the polyester epoxy I normally use will just not hold under the weight. The table will be supported by a metal frame.
Thanks
Baird
