Awesome Baird. I live those out of the box solutions! Been also thinking about trying something like that, particularly like an 800 twister pad with some 5x, just to see what you would get...

Tony, We recently did a Job where we successfully removed a stonelok finish and imparted a satin Finish on a cementious small aggregate terrazzo floor by combining 150 grit honing powder and 5x. Didn't require stripper and the stonelok was pretty tough stuff but on the thin side. We tried different approaches on sample boards of tiles coated with the stonelok and this worked the best. We started the project first by honing with the powder and then lightly polishing. We then combined the two into one step and found it worked just as well with the same result. The acrylic may be thicker than the stonelok which may affect the process.

yes we do after stripping a floor once or twice and there might still be some wax that is not completely removed
we just did this last week on 2500 ft of limestone. spread some stripper out in a 10 by 10 and add 150 grit honing
powder to it. be carefull not to use to much powder you will dry up you stripper thats on the floor. work it with a weight
loaded floor machine and a maroon lightning strip pad. we think it work great because removing all the wax from the
pores of the stone is such a beeeaaarrrrch..........

Hi John,
No we are not trying to strip and hone at th same time. We have been getting a number of stone floors especially travertine that have been waxed. We strip them first and then hone. Sometimes there will be some wax that you don,t see until the floor completely dries. I was wondering if putting a little bit of stripper in the water might help?
