Stuart,
I would recommend cleaning the cracks using an alkaline based cleaner using professional dental picks, then clean the crack with Acetone then fill the hole with a flowing bases polyester fill . in this case a clear color might be your best bet.

Subject: [sccpartners] hairline cracks
Gentlemen,
On a regular basis I am asked to repair hairline cracks (stress cracks) what ever you want to call them. I haven't a clue as to how to repair them, or even make them invisible. I know that what you see in the crack is usually dirt. But I just don't know what to do. This is such a recurring problem that surely, there must be some remedy. I need some help.

Roger ,
Why not use honing powders. By the time you figure the cost of the pads the powder will probably be more cost effective and will guarantee a consistent finish. where as the pads as they wear could give you an inconsistent finish.

I have used the pads on two prior jobs and did not have the same problem. Anyway I think we got the issue resolved, I tried to take a short cut to remove the factory swirls, which is use only pads. Looks like we need to cut the floor 1st with diamonds and then use pads. So far the initial test looks promising.
I don’t want to use honing powders, the job is 8500 sq.ft.

I’m using velocity pads to clean up a newly installed honed marble floor. We are having problems with the pads leaving swirl marks. What are we doing wrong that we are getting swirl marks?
