Hi Stuart. I have been hearing a lot about MB-22 lately. What is it?BairdPLEASE NOTE OUR NEW ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBERS. THE OLD NUMBERS WILL WORK FOR SOME PERIOD OF TIME.________________________________________From the desk ofBaird StandishManaging PartnerFacility Specialists, LLC15 West Highland Ave.Philadelphia, PA 191118Phone: 267-331-5369Fax: 267-331-5771Jason,I agree I am not crazy about crystalizer either but if used moderately and at the right time after a good honing and powder polishing it can be a useful tool. Of course with epoxy terrazzo if it works great and if it doesnt not a big deal. There is always a way-at least so far!I have been told that MB-22 will work on epoxy terrazzo. I will have to try it and get back to you.I am sure the diamond impregnated pads will work fine.

I use a Klindex levighator which is like the Lavina. It really cuts down on time spent honing concrete and terrazzo. At the low grit-say 50 metal, I go up and.back twice (sort of like a lawn mower) and up and.back once above that grit generally. One pass on a 10 foot long section takes between 30 seconds and a minute depending upon roughness At 1500 I use the monkey pad on a burnisher.

> I have a Lavina planetary that gets up to 1400 rpm. I have some 1500 grit diamond impregnated pads from SCC. Think this would work? Ill try it on Monday.
> Stu, I am with you about mock ups. The original samples(done with a variable) I did the customer liked the look of crystallizer. After seeing large sample done with a big machine, the powder polish looks much better, with an even finish. I am not crazy about crystallizer anyhow.
> Its funny how again and again each floor is different. There have been epoxy floors I have done where the matrix doesn't shine like the marble....This one was the opposite but polishing evened it out.

> Hope I didn't screw you up to bad-I neglected to mention(as John Stated) to be careful crystallizing on the whites. We always test first(in anything we do) what the results will be.If you do begin to blacken the floor a little 5x will fix it right up.We also run our 3000 pad dry on the klindex machine but in the future I will use Fred's idea of the burnisher. We do a large building where the white epoxy terrazzo and the crystallizer get along. I have done other floors where they havent but it hasnt been white floors only. Sometimes crystallizer just doesnt work well-maybe it is due to moisture or other factors. It never really mattered as we allways find a way to get the job completed and move onto the next job.

> I have a trick for expoxy terrazzo that will pop and unbelieve shine without the use of powders or crystallizer. If you can get hold a high speed burnisher simple use a monkey pad or any of those type pads and the shine will pop. You can rent a burnisher if you dont have one
