The crux is getting below the texture then bringing it back in either case.You need a sample to work on.Sent from my iPhoneThe customer sent some pictures this afternoon. It looks like it's flamed granite, rather than leathered. Appears that the edges and perimeter of the sink are somewhat different. Would your approach on flamed granite be different than leathered granite?Blain Haeg

It comes out so much more flat and goes much faster.It was scary at first getting used to but I’ll never go back, it’s just too productive. We typically do it with two guys, one to run the machine and one person as a spotter on the motor.Personally I would walk away from that one.But good luckTony DeLuna925-625-9625Use metal bonds probably starting at about 30 or 48 grit, depending on how dimensional the leathering is.I can also tell you that I recommend the biggest drive plate possible (maybe a 10” or 13” machine) to avoid waving the surface. Keeping the surface monolithic is key to success. Most Restoration professionals don’t have to go this low with metals and believe me, you can wave a countertop easy. Working in the fab industry you know and restoration guys don’t have radial arm machines for in the field (hmm, not a bad idea for a portable type model).Do a test to confirm results and procedure.Good luck
Sent from Bob Murrell's iPhoneI've got a request to transition a leathered granite counter into a traditional polished surface. Recommendations for beginning steps before moving into normal granite resins?
