Yes it worked out fine. Use #1 steel wool and it came out great !I am curious:1. what is the self life of crystallizer .2.

Sent from my iPhoneThe problem is that black marble retains heat. This creates a problem. VMC makes a special fluid for this, not the pink one, I believe it is the blue, the acids stay in suspension for longer and will not soak in. You do meet to go light if you are using a pink type. Or use something more waxy like Prime Grind M. I'm not up on it having not used crystalizers in years but I used to a lot.
Sent from my iPhoneFrom my use of crystallization and jobs I have seen in most cases there too much crystallization used. A fine mist is all you need, especially if you have already polished the stone with a polishing powder. If you using fine mist you can get 1000 or more sq.ft. before the pad become too wet. On some floors ( greens) the more build up you get in the pad the better it works ,however at the end you need to use a dry pad and buff off.John E FreitagDirectorThe Stone & Tile SchoolOffice 407-567-7652Cell 407-615-0134<image001.jpg>From: list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com [mailto:list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com] On Behalf Of Perfect Marble 2

Sent by iPhoneDayron PadillaPerfect MarbleI disagree with 000 or 0000 steel wool. This steel wool will generate too much heat and you will run a high risk to dulling the floor or what known as burning the surface by generating too much heat.The #1 steel wool is the best grade to use and the only grade I use and the only grade we use when training.John E FreitagDirectorThe Stone & Tile SchoolOffice 407-567-7652Cell 407-615-0134<image001.jpg>From: list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com [mailto:list-manager@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.com] On Behalf Of Georgia

Subject: Re: Swirl MarksRoger. That steel wool is too corse. 000 or 0000 is best. The swirl marks will need to be honed out.On May 21, 2014 9:18 AM, "Roger Konarski (via sccpartners list)" <nobody@simplelists.com> wrote:
