are you sure it is not Dove white which looks like Carrera but is really hard to polish with powders but comes up nice with diamond polishing

if you havent honed it that might be part of the problem..If the stone has been crystallized or treated with topicals etc. than just polishing it may not work

Hi everyone;

 

I haven’t jumped into the discussion  group too often before but would like to start using this more frequently.

 

In the 12 or so years I’ve been involved in stone restoration some funny Carrera appears that I usually end up getting frustrated over. Perhaps you guys have as well and can offer some assistance.

 

The normal x powder finish after grinding has no normal effect on it. Crystallizing procedures also work marginally if at all.

Usually you are faced with a complete resin pad  procedure all the way to 3000 in order to have an effect.

 

In the past I have embarrassed myself with the client all too often by not being able to provide more than a so so result on this stuff.

 

Job has been butchered by someone else about ten years ago. Scratches aren’t the issue. About 1500 sq feet.

Haven’t honed too many existing polished marble jobs –only re polished  Any tricks??

 

Help!!

Armando
