Though relatively new in the stone restoration business, at 33 yrs, I have been maintaining floors since I was 15. Recently I have had great success with grinding and honing marble, travertine, and concrete. Brian Yager gave me great tips and I'm sure some of you can offer great advice. </SPAN></FONT></div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am now looking at a 350 sq ft black marble job that will need to be grinded and brought to a polish. I have not worked on black marble and I am wondering if there is anything unique I could face? I have never used my variable speed grinder on walls as of yet.&nbsp; Can someone give me tips on how this is done, esp as far as how
 do you keep it wet? &nbsp;I have been using MB powder polish with good success. Could I expect the same here? Is a $6/ft bid unreasonable? </SPAN></FONT></div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks in advance for your suggestions!</SPAN></FONT></div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Jason</SPAN></FONT></div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <div><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial"></SPAN></FONT>&nbsp;</div>  <TABLE style="WIDTH: 240pt" cellSpacing=0
