used T BONE diamond disks first 220 then 400 then 800 stared to get a very faint sheen...each time<br>
 the diamonds bleed a lot of dye but no issues...then i decide to try the 1800s and they bled blue dye<br>so not a big deal till we cleaned up the slurry and the dye was in the stone....just great blue highlights in the <br>

stone, tried soaking a bunch of high alkaline cleaner on the floor got some out tried 100 grit diamonds while it<br>was soaking some help not much.  its not the whole floor its spread out on different areas. going to try floor stripper<br>

and paint stripper on monday..  HEEELP   need some help with this one..<br><br><br>WHY dont they stop using dye in the diamonds anyway..nobody follows the color code<br>anymore anyways they just stamp the grit number on them.<br>
