Default 220 Grit

The builders helper tried to hide the scratches in 3,000 sq ft of Travertine.....

He destroyed about 2,000 sq ft of it.....


My client said he got three quotes to resurface it...$12,000-$16,000.00

Client said the kid spent the whole day sanding spots with 220 Grit sandpaper....

He should just continue Dale, I believe the "Tumbled" Travertine look is in now.

Well, the next logical step would be to progress to 400 grit, then 600 grit, then....

Poor guy just thought that 220 grit was to get rid of the scratches in the poly finsh on the stone work. He was going to put another coat of Poly tomorrow. ha. ha.

That's why "helpers" should always have adult supervision. There are actually ways to restore the finish. Go here www.stonecare.com
