Georgia,
Use the plexus UV repair materials and you can almost totally hide the cracks. I have used this on numerous cracks, chip and fishers on granite and each time the customer is totally happy with the results.
I think Fred plans to cover this in his session on the cruise, at least he ask me to bring my kit along ..

Georgia,
Those repairs can be tricky-we use clear glues in most cases so they wont look obvious especially with hairline cracks-the MB-20 would help increase luster possibly but will not change the appearance of the repair. Use ca glue on hairline cracks and sharpie to color under the glue so you get a more natural effect.

I just worked on a project with granite today. The issue was that the granite was not properly supported. So four corners of the opening for the stove top insert had hairline fractures. One of them was all the way through and had some lippage. We used wedges to help balance the granite every so slightly. We used knife grade acrylic and mixed the color. The color looks great but the customer is saying that this repair makes it look more obvious than originally. We ended up not charging them for this repair. Would MB-20 help with the blending at all?
A photo of the type of granite is attached. The repair is not because my camera battery died and I am charging it now.

Mb-20 just takes a bit of getting used to is all I mean-some stones will require different methods such as speed, pressure and amount of product used. Too much product will give you swirls that look like scratches and don't come off by simple wiping. Depending on the degree of the swirls they can either be easily buffed off or you can just use some 5X,MB-12 or tin oxide and they come right off. Then you just use less product. Like anything else we do once you get it you can sort of feel whats happening under the stone- then it becomes easy to work with.
Issues with it? Not really. For me if I find something isnt working or am stuck at a point I switch gears to plan B(whatever that might be) in a heartbeat and get the job done.

Roger ,
The problem with crystallizers is the miss use of the product. Too many contractor use the crystallizer as a cheap easy way to maintain stone. yes over use of this product will build up and cause problem. However using it once on a countertop is not going to do any damage to the stone and is not going to close off the stone where it cannot breath. Also the countertop has the ability to breath from the bottom side of the stone.
Over use and repeated use of crystallization is the problem you see with this product.

My question is would using a crystallize on the stone, to me is a type of coating. Will it start to diminish and wear off in heavy use ares?

Date: Monday, August 1, 2011, 10:03 PMWhat'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

> I have a large kitchen counter top to service, the top is serpatene. I have MB 20 – which gave favorable results. 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.
