Hi,
We finally got through our large limestone grinding/honing project and it came out pretty well.  On thing we need to take care of in a few areas are in some corners and along some edges. We are trying to get the edges to be relatively consistent colorwise with the rest of the floor.  In some areas, the limestone is whiting out and in others the edges are very dark where we didn't grind and hone up to the edge, or where the color-enhancing impregnating sealer pooled a little more than we wanted and created some darker areas.  Was wondering if there is a sealer that will perhaps bring up the color without being so dark.  I am finding that the edges are sort of over reacting to the impregnating sealer and the stuff is really hard to control in those areas.  Perhaps a wax? We are finishing to a honed finish, not a high gloss.  I have two pictures below.  One picture shows where the light and dark are right next to each other.
Thanks,
Baird
