Nice job

My pool deck pavers are trav with very similiar onxy inlaid. And entire pavers in onxy.

Did you have any stun damage on the top?

 

[Mikey P]

Stun?

Crystal stun damage....

On countertops, identified as white, cloudy small spots from impacts from pots, silverware, glasses...

 

[Mikey P]

Nada..

How long did that project take? What did you use to fill the holes?

 

[Mikey P]

7 hours.

The "glue" is shown and discussed in the video

Could you do “better” next time, or is that the best it is going to get?

I do think it looks good now by the way.

 

[Mikey P]

On the fill? No...


On the polish, sure...

I will have to talk to Rob about a starter kit. How did you begin marketing your stone polishing skills?

 

[Mikey P]

I just listed it as a service on websites, Yelp, cards, vans etc..

But more importantly mention it to every homeowner, and like I tell my guys, look for the need in every home.


Mrs Piftleton I have some bad news, I absolutely destroyed your bathroom after lunch but the good news is, I can get those pesky coffee etch marks off your marble countertop in there...

I watched twice and don’t see what you used.
SGA, maybe? I have a travertine floor coming up and will need to fill pits and pops.

Thanks. But when I polish the floor, will this stuff clabber up, or just hone dull like filler?

Or perhaps it should be applied after polishing and wiped smooth with acetone?

I will have to get some to try

Stephen, say 15 minwork time, and urethane’s I use from them are 1-2 hour before cut. Some are next day.

My experience urethane base is they to not process as easy ay polyesters,

Nor do they take the polish of polyester , ( or epoxy or acrylic)

 

[Mikey P]

It polished up nicely, no clabbering

 

[Old Coastie]

Thank you both. I will use it. This is an unusual project and customer.
