How do you all charge for poulticing? It's always so open ended and involves a lot of driving around and revisiting clients for a minimal amount of time. Because of this, unless it's part of a bigger job or my guys don't have anything else to do, I find myself wrestling with wiggling out of these kinds of assignments. But maybe there is a better way to handle it so we all win.

I have removed this type of stain from marble using a poultice of mineral sprits and DE powder cover with plastic put soon holes in the plastic allow to set for 24 to 36 hours. Remove poultice. Then poultice with acetone for 24 hours rotate these poultices until stain is gone. This could take 3 to 4 applications

Partners,

The plumbers son used plumbers putty on this faucet install three months ago. The homeowner contacted the builder a few weeks after the install when he noticed the darkening around the faucet area. The builder did not make it out there for another week. He applied the first poultice almost a month after the damage was done. He applied three more poultices since then, some remaining on the stone for a week or more. He used The DuPont product for removing oil stains.
I was called in this week and applied a 40% peroxide poultice with baby powder. Removed the plastic yesterday and the poultice today. This picture still shows the darker area. Will check again on Monday when everything is dried out.
Homeowner handpicked this slab a year ago and would be hard to match. Not sure if the poultices should continue or we should give up if this last one is unsuccessful.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
Thanks, Chris
