Hi. How long do you all let the floor dry before crystallizing?  I often run into a problem with the crystallizer darkening the stone, which means that there is too much moisture in the stone?

Randy,

 

Going up to 3000 is over kill, the serpentine has some calcium in it so there will be a polishing reaction using the 5X polishing Powders. The crystallizer will just give it the final pop to the finish.

Also not all crystallizers are pink.

We start at the appointed grit, carry the grits to at least 3000, then granite polishing paste, finalize with the pink stuff.
Good luck

I have been asked to restore a serpentine bathroom. Shower, vanity top, tub surround and floor. This is one stone I don't like to restore. Looking for suggestions on handling this job. Honing followed with MB 20 or should we just use the pink stuff on the stone?
 
Thanks,
