I misunderstood, I thought you planned on more polishing.

Great job!

Looks real good Ron.

Ron in that picture it appears as there was a good bit of lippage. Was there? Have you done a job with MPs that had a lot of lippage?

Re: monkey pads it gets better

stone was smooth but there was a good grout line I think its a little tough on the pads but its only money.

Re: monkey pads it gets better

Are you going to do something with that grout?

Did you have to do all the edges by hand?

I do like that fact you have so much fun with new things. Thanks for sharing.

Re: monkey pads it gets better

grout was still wet, there was a bunch of wax in the grout lines 98% is gone I love new things

yea water and MONKEY PADS but you do need a little weight I was runnin 50 pounds on the weighted floor machine.I feel broken but the bank account is feeling better, corners are a pain in the ass we used the makita 7in and the counter top pads. someone need to come up with a better driver for the small pads.

This is alot of work, but well worth it so far over 5g out of the box of monkey pads.

 

[Warren Wallace]

ron how much for the pads

 

[Ron Lippold]

the Mikey special is a set of pads for the floor and a set for the counter tops. is 375 for both.
