Freddie ,

 

I would have only honed to a 400 then 5X polished and that would have achieved the results you needed , by honing up to 1800 you close the pores in the stone and the polish react quicker and you run I high risk of orange peeling the finish. You can re-hone to remove the orange peel and 5x polish after the 400 and if needed lightly crystalize but you shouldn’t need it.

Hi Lorne,

 

This is what I did. I grinded this floor with 70 metal, 120 Copper, 50 To 1800 resin, then polished with 5x and only used about 1/2 to 3/4 of an oz. on 10ft. Do you think it is still possible to orange peel? The white marble and the dark marble did not orange peel. They polished out great on all areas. The only one that I had a problem with was the light brown ones.

You may not have honed to a high enough grit or just over polished it because, from what I can see in the pictures, it appears to have "orange peeling".  Generally after it is already burnt, you have to re-hone to get a polish where you can see detail in the reflection.  To figure out how far down to re-hone i would test a small area.  There have been stones where I just used the last grit I worked with and spent a little more time and it worked because the stone was soft enough, where others I needed to go down and work my way back up again.  This is just my opinion based on what I think I see in the pictures.

Hi to everyone,

 

I need help! Does anyone know how to polish this floor better than what I did? There are 4 different types of stones that polish out different do each other. How do I get all stones to polish out with the same detailed reflection?
