Hi partners

had some unexpected results on friday after honing a small floor looks like limestone or travertine
used T BONE diamond disks first 220 then 400 then 800 stared to get a very faint sheen...each time
 the diamonds bleed a lot of dye but no issues...then i decide to try the 1800s and they bled blue dye
so not a big deal till we cleaned up the slurry and the dye was in the stone....just great blue highlights in the
stone, tried soaking a bunch of high alkaline cleaner on the floor got some out tried 100 grit diamonds while it
was soaking some help not much.  its not the whole floor its spread out on different areas. going to try floor stripper
and paint stripper on monday..  HEEELP   need some help with this one..


WHY dont they stop using dye in the diamonds anyway..nobody follows the color code
anymore anyways they just stamp the grit number on them.


Thanks
