Hello All,<br>
<br>
We are about to begin a four year resoration project with the National<br>
Archives in Washington, DC. One of the areas of concern for me is the<br>
honing of areas of Tennessee marble where it was used (new instalation)<br>
for door casings, elevator casings etc.- vertical surfaces and they don&#39;t<br>
like the high shine. This material is hard. Very high shine and we want to<br>
bring it down a few notches so that it will &quot;look older&quot;.<br>
<br>
Please remember we are talking about vertical surfaces (11,000sqft) and we<br>
would like to know if there are any tricks of the trade, short of using a<br>
flex hand machine and some honing powder or Aquamix?<br>
<br>
Looking forward to your input. Thanks in advance.<br>
<br>
