Sent from my iPhoneGood Advice-just adding-Is the grout sanded or unsanded-be mindful to not discolor them.While we sometimes use DiP's in our honing process to remove picture frames or produce a variety of honed finishes on surfaces, we don't generally use them to prep a surface for polishing.The reason is we don't get a finish with high clarity.I would consider using a combination of DIP's along with good quality resin diamonds and then a powder polish for a clean polish with good clarity.Just a note-we have tested and or using and selling bonastre pads (DIP's) -the pads can be used in combination with resin diamonds and polishing compounds.On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 8:39 AM, Fred Hueston <fhueston@gmail.com> wrote:I would try to find out what type of setting material they used. Was it a thin set? a rapid cure thin set? Mud bed etc? I would wait at least a week to be sure everything is cured. Also do a sounding test to make sure its a good installation--On Thu, Feb 15, 2018 at 8:36 AM, Stuart Young <santafefc@sbcglobal.net> wrote:
We are going to hone and polish newly installed travertine tiles. We will use DIP’s. How much time should expire between installation and the honing and polishing?
