I didn't get to see a pic,but this sounds like "orange peel",as a result of over polishing.I rarely take polished limestone above 800 before 5X, or MB 12, I don't see any added clarity or benefit ,the higher the diamond,takes almost no compound,and you have to be fast to avoid "orange peel" from burning the floor to hot,with whatever acid polish compound you useRun your 800 again and polish as usual, you will get the clarity your looking forI always burnish 3000 or 6000 depending on stone,high speed, to get that deep 3D polish
Sent from my iPadNo it was a dimpled effect. Almost like a light sand blasting.When you look at the light reflection on the floor it is defusedand clear sharp reflection.On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 6:59 PM, stuart rosen <mail@stoneshine.com> wrote:Tony,I almost always start jobs with a 220 cut.It eliminates most abrasion from the surface.However-in your case I don't think the beginning cut was the issue.I suspect after doing 4 cuts on a cream colored(very porous) limestone the stone retained moisture.When you tried to polish did you get a blotchy result.We cut those stones and go back next day to polish-They polish up great when dry-On Thu, Mar 19, 2015 at 8:57 PM, Tony Warney <tony@excelstoneandtilecare.com> wrote:
I did a test on some cream colored limestone from South America.Most of the house it looks like a high gloss marble with good clarity.One hall way that gets a lot of traffic where I did the test I could not get the same clarity.The limestone cut really fast. So I started with 400 800 1600 3500 5x Crystalizer.Do you think 1 would get better clarity starting with 220 I did not have time to do a secondtest.
