RE: [sccpartners] quartzite staining Lorne Greenberg 21 Jan 2011 04:24 EST
Thank you for the thoughts. I am checking to see if silicone was used and if that is the case...what can I use to attempt to poultice it out? The designer also wanted to know if there was a chance that the poultice would work without have to remove and replace the silicone because that would obviously be a very large and costly job for them. -----Original Message----- From: John Freitag [mailto:jfreitag@thestoneandtileschool.com] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 1:30 PM To: Restoration and Maintenance Subject: RE: [sccpartners] quartzite staining Lorne, It could be they used a silicone to hold the stone in place the he material in bleeding through the stone. It may not be a continuous if the silicone was only spotted in areas to hold the stone. Find out from the installer what they use to hold the stone in place. If they used a silicone and it bleeding through the stone then you going to need to remove and replace the silicone and probably try to poultice out the silicone that in the stone. it's possible this could not be fixed and a new stone may need to be installed.

It is a fairly new installation of quartzite. In the time since it was put in, the dark areas have begun to appear. The person who brought us in has already had the installer, someone who got the stone, and the company whose sealer they used to look at this and no one knows what caused it or how to correct it. I thought that maybe it has to do with the adhesive used? Although it does not go entirely around the perimeter. Some areas there are only small spots. I also need to know how I could attempt to correct this. -Lorne Fabra Cleen -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com -- Powered by http://DiscussThis.com Visit list archives, subscribe, unsubscribe or change your subscription preferences: http://www.discussthis.com/members/sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com Start a new conversation (thread): sccpartners@stoneandtilepros.com No virus found in this incoming message.
