There are also a lot of marginal quality engineered stone tops made with marble and other materials.Seems like many come from china and can be refinished easily-Its pretty easy to tell the difference-True quartz engineered tops require some practice when refinishing or repairing the material-quartz is a very hard material and the resins can make refinishing somewhat difficult.Seems the lighter colors are easier to work with then the darker colors.I have seem engineered stone stain as well. -Nano sealers are a line of sealer developed using silicon dioxide (sio2) or liquid glass.The sealers are pretty amazing and can form a covalent bond with the surface you are sealing.You can do some research on them-lots of info ou there.Stuart-see if you can get some samples of what you will be working on-then you can start to become more familiar with the material-On Thu, Mar 16, 2017 at 7:44 AM, Eric Vogel <evogel@countercrew.com> wrote:Es stands for engineered stone aka Quartz. Different terminology. If Quartz tops are staining then their is a defect in the cure process of that slab.

Does it require a special kind of pad or sandpaper to hone and polish it? What about sealing it? Does it require a water base or solvent base sealer? Any information would be helpful.
