Thanks for getting back to me. No sir, not yet. Is that something we
carry? I'm willing to try anything. The major issue with the tops is the
etching. Usually it wont polish out. We have to use diamonds. I've tried
the Performance dry polishing pads. I've tried a custom machined ten inch
plate that holds three 3" velcro pads, the 7" backer etc. The limestone
floors I have very little trouble with. (other than they destroy my
diamonds) but the tops of these tables, credensas(spelling?), counters
that are limestone are giving me hell when I try to bring them back to a
polish. In one case I even lowered the handle on my 13" Hawk and put it on
a table. The mess is unreal! Any advice? The tuff skin will help if it
goes on easy but I'm looking for tricks that you have learned that a new
guy like me wouldn't know about. I look forward to the chance to meet you
some day soon and perhaps take a class with you as the instructor. Thanks
again.
