It improved the graininess tremendously.
Any Travertine jobs I get in the future I will definitely use the Lithium Hardener

Prosoco isn’t the most reliable when talking natural stone. I will try it in next day or two and report back.

Best Regards,Randy Frye, CEI Surface Pros239-253-1991Hi Carl. Unfortunately I have never used the product. I was just speculating on what would happen. The only products that I have used on travertine are traver-fil (from VMC) and the epoxy travertine filler, which is just buff colored tanax. They have worked will for me.B

Subject: Re: Travertine/LimestoneIt looks like the floor would have to be ground dry and perhaps with metal diamond in order to create enough dust to mix with the grind -n-fill. I see that working on concrete but maybe not on travertine?B________________________________________From the desk ofBaird StandishManaging PartnerFacility Specialists, LLC15 West Highland Ave. Suite EPhiladelphia, PA 19118Phone: 215-732-7505Fax: 215-546-9160sounds like the Prosoco's grind and fill is what I would be looking for.

Subject: Re: Travertine/LimestoneWe haven't tried this yet, but will soon.This maybe something for this job : for filling of travertine holes after a grind ... on the last metal step use Prosoco's grind and fill. Then densify. Just a thought.

To: sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.comYou might want to double check to see how long the densifier should be on before starting your cutting begins. Some say once it is dry some say an hour some say overnight.
Best Regards,Randy Frye, CEI Surface ProsDoing testing tomorrow, I will let you know how it turns out

To: sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.simplelists.comWorking with that type lower quality travertine can be tough.It doesn't look good in any finish .Always seems to look smudgy.I haven't tried densifier on travertine yet but I have read and heard it may help.What we do when we run across this is to do a few sample finishes for the customer and let them pick one.I think most chose the deeper honed finish.I would like to know if you do some testing with densifier and results..

We have a Travertine floor with a lot of graininess in it.
How well do the Densifiers/Lithium Hardeners work to remove/fill the graininess
