They help harden the stone,reduce acid splatter etches, and can generally improve gloss on many calcareous stones and terrazzo.All of the compounds on the market have basically been copying from the original product I helped todevelop over 20 years ago with VIC. Of course the Majestic Compound uses only the best ingredients starting with the finest grade of 5X availableanywhere in the world. All restoration professionals should have both the straight 5X and some Stone Polishing Compound as thesetwo are probably the most used in the world. Also some Majestic a Spray Crystallizer to give that extra color and5+ points on the gloss meter where required.Sent from Bob Murrell's iPhone865-607-0957

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.On Jan 29, 2015, at 9:13 AM, cpstaples <cpstaples@msn.com> wrote:I just got off the phone with Prosecco and they said grind and fill is not good for travertine or limestone. has anybody used it on travertine and limestone?Sent on a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S® 5

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/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.

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..
