Thanks, I am going to try that. I had started at a 400 grit originally and went up to 800.Perhaps the marble absorbed the crystalizer (especially since the stone was etched and the pores had been pretty open at the time they used the crystalizer) and it is my understanding that there is an acid in crystalizer and maybe that acid is not completed out and could be reacting?It seems as if there was a layer of resin on the top of the surface...since I honed it, could this be a result of that?Kind Regards,Alex RiveraOn Sat, Mar 17, 2012 at 7:28 AM, stuart rosen <mail@stoneshine.com> wrote:Alex
We do alot of carrara tops in our area. Occasionally we run into a sensitive one.
Unless the customer used massive amounts of cyrstalizer you should be fine starting with 220 g resin and taking up to maybe 800 or so. If you need to start deeper use 220 g sandpaper flat then start 220 resins. If you have time a.d want to run your diamonds higher why not but you will be fine ending at 800.
The crux is the polishing use less water in whichever polish you use. Also start with half the amount. Of powder you normally use and adjust from there.
Try and use an amount of powder that you think wouldn't work and you should be fine.

Orange peel is from over polishing needed to close the pores and achieve the polish when the diamond honing is not sufficient. Close the pores with diamonds then lightly polish.

I would try honing up to good clarity then use MB12 almost completely dry. water will over react the acid and cause orange peel. Aloha

Hi Randy,
Have you had this situation before? How deep do you suggest?
Kind Regards,

Maybe cut the surface a little deeper then bring it up.

New white carerra marble with smooth glass like finish from factory. Clients housekeeper etched it. Client tried crystallizing it themselves. We were called after they attempted to fix it themselves.
I have tried a variety of methods to repair but keep having an orange peeling issue.
Tried tin oxide. Tried mixing tin oxide with marble powder.
After honing, is it possible to bring it back to the factory glass gloss?
I have worked on much white carerra marble before and it never behaved like this.
Thanks in advance for your tips and opinions.
