Granite : Want a seamless counter in UbaTub

Author: StonemongerSubject: Want a seamless counter in UbaTubPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 9:47pmI suspect you only hate the seam because you have seen seams that were done poorly. If it i s done by a skilled professional, tight, level, smooth, and finished with a color matched resin, the impact is minimal. Most slabs come between 105" and 130" with the freakishly long ones being around 137. I have only heard once or twice about slabs in the 144" range, but those are incredibly rare. Other factors are things like cutouts and the rest of the shape. There is a practical limit to how large a piece the installers can safely move without damaging the stone, your house, or themselves.If I could see a drawing of the whole job and get a sense of how the stone would enter your home, I might be able to make a recommendation, but your fabricator/installer would have the final say. One important point as well: If you go for the lowest price among several potential installers, you are likely to get a bad seam. Those making the least money on a job are less likely to spend the extra half hour it takes to do it right.

Water Stains : Absolute Black: scaring and bleaching

Author: StonemongerSubject: Absolute Black: scaring and bleachingPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 9:30pmMy question for you is, were the bottles from hard alcohol of some sort? A small percentage of wht is sold to us ad "Absolute Black" granite is actually a gray stone from India that is then dyed black for sale. This dye is alcohol soluble, a happy fact my company discovered when installing about 200 square feet in a high end country club's lounge as a bartop...The alcohol bleaches out the dye and leaves odd, translucent areas that you just can't seem to clean off!Luckily, we managed to browbeat our warehouse into reimbursing us the material and got the genuine article from elsewhere. Still cost us time and sweat and delays on other jobs.

Author: floormanSubject: Crack in Granite Kitchen CountertopPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 5:17pmFor basic crack repair I use a dremel with a diamond grout removal tip. Cut a tiny V-Cut down the center of the crack line. clean up and fill with a matching color epoxy. Use the polishing wheel comes with the dremel to polish up the epoxy fill.

Granite : Laundry liquid stain on Granit Top
2024-12-11 07:01:28| Natural Stones | Stone Portal | Granite Tile | Granite | Marble | Granite Marble | Marble Granite | Marble and Granite | Granite and Marble | Stone Industry | RSS Feeds | www.findstone.com
Author: floormanSubject: Laundry liquid stain on Granit TopPosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 5:01pmYou will probably need to poultice the detergent out of the granite. I would do a search on stone poulticing and get some instructions. I would be inclined to mix distilled water with some cooking flour to a paste like consistency, (clean the stained area with some acetone on a rag).put the paste on the stain,cover with plastic, tape edges of plastic with painters tape, check back in 24 hrs to see is it has drawn any of the stain out. If its looking better ( stain has lightened up) do it again until stain is gone. wipe where tape was with a little acetone.

Author: bocamikeSubject: Water Mark on Absolute Black GranitePosted: 26 Nov 2009 at 10:14pm We installed an absolute black granite countertop a few weeks ago. A guest put a glass with some water and ice cubes on the countertop and I left it there overnight, thinking it would do noo harm. In the morning when I removed the glass it left a circular watermark on the granite, the exact size of the glass. This was probably caused by condensation because the glass was dry before it was put on the countertop. I cannot remove the water mark (stain) and am afraid to do anything without professional advice.
