If the sealer you used left a satin finish and its wearing where they have heavy traffic, I'm afraid dropping back down to 200 and removing the sealer is the only way to reproduce an even finish. In this business, its extremely important to educate your cient. In this case, you have done nothing wrong. The problem is that this material is soft and porous. You can density after 200 and again after 400. Then 800 and seal. Explain that there is nothing you can do to change the characteristics of the material they have. You may want to suggest a maintenance plan..... ; ). $$$$$ Best of luck, check in any time. Cell 301.602.2307 Ron Moore

Ron,

I went up to 800 resins before polishing.

Blain,

What grit finish did you bring the floor to? Densifiers almost always have sealing properties. If you go this route, I believe you would need to re-hone, harden and seal.

I'm looking for some guidance on whether using a limestone densifier is appropriate for an issue I'm having.

The customer had a honed limestone floor installed inside their home. The installer applied a topical sealer, to provide semi-gloss finish. After a couple of years, the sealer began to fail, so the customer contacted me to strip, hone, polish, and seal (solvent impregnator). The floor looked great, but after a few months the traffic areas began to show signs of excessive soiling.

If I had used a densifier, could this have possibly prevented the soiling issues? If I were to apply the densifier now, would it be necessary to strip the floor first, to remove the impregnating sealer that I applied 6 months ago?

No pictures. Recommendations?
