It is a portland based terrazzo.  We ran into the hone mark problem with a project a little while ago. It was a marble floor that abbutted a polished marble wall. We used cerafil or some other form of wax with a dremel to work the edges.  That seemed to work pretty well.  I&#39;m not sure that will work here.  <div>

If it&#39;s portland you&#39;ll have nasty hone marks along the edges to get rid of so just be careful because they&#39;ll really come through when you polish and a 200 grit wont come close to getting them out.<div>

Hi.  We are looking at a terrazzo floor and, because the floor was never finished (honed and polished), we will need to hone and polish the edges.  We don&#39;t run into this much with marble because the edges are typically already polished.  Was wondering what people&#39;s experience is with production rate for hand honing and polishing.  We would go 200-400-800 and polish for the main floor, but perhaps that is not necessary for 1-2 inches of edge. Also, is it best to hone and polish the edges first or last?<div>
