Putting them in a plastic bag will also allow them to accumulate mold and mildew as well. I like Johns ideas. If you must put them in a bag , than use a mesh bag thats breathable.

Plastic bags are not the best way to store or carry you diamonds. The plastic never allows the Velcro on the to dry and will shorten the life of the Velcro.

 

There are several ways to handle you diamonds,

1.       Have a tool box set up for you floor diamond and your hand diamond pads.

2.       Place you diamond pads in an open plastic container and place them on a shelf in your truck.

3.       Use a wire or a plastic strip slide you diamond onto the wire or plastic and hand them on set them on a shelf in your truck .

I prefer to have and open plastic container and place my diamond into these containers then take my container into the job site. If you have guys that loose things then I recommend giving the technician a tool box with the diamond in them and if he loses them he replaces them

Gentlemen,

 

Up till now, I have been storing and transporting my diamond pads in plastic bags.  This system leaves a lot to be desired.  Do any of you have a good system for storing and transporting your diamond pads?

John,

Do you mean either step 3 OR 4 or both 3 AND 4?

Roger,

If you want to bring a great shine to a serpentine stone there are a couple of ways to achieve this.

1.       Hone it if there is damage up to 800 or 1800

2.       Then use 5X and crystallize it

3.       Use dark granite polishing powders and a crystallizer and wet the powder with the crystallizer using a steel wool pad #1 and polish the powder into the stone. once all the powder is polished into the stone, flip your pad over and kiss then add a little more crystallizer and you will have a great shine and finish.

4.       Use MB 20 polish.,

 

1 feel  you will achieve the best result using the granite polishing powder and the crystallizer.

What's ur question? Are u concerned that the mb 20 is not as good of a solution as if u honed the top? What is the client looking for? This would be a factor

My question, would I be doing my client a disservice if we honed and Crystallize the top. Because I have someone I can send who can get the job done. I feel guilty about doing it that way, but how would most of my competitors handle the stone.
