Author: cezzzSubject: Issues with China GranitePosted: 08 Dec 2009 at 4:25pmI agree, China products are very difficult to rework. All natural stones can scratch. BUT, granite is far more resistant toscratching than soapstone and marble because it is a harder naturalstone. On MOH's scale of hardness, granites usually have a hardness of6 to 7. Marbles have a hardness of about 3, and soapstone 2. The lowerthe number, the softer the stone.Possible quick fixes:Try buffing slight surface scratches with dry #0000 steel wool.It may be possible to "fix" small scratches on darkstones yourself by using a black permanent marker or a paint marker(these work the best). Color in the scratch and then wipe off the areawith denatured alcohol to remove any excess color. This method isn'trepairing granite or stone scratches. The scratch becomes visuallyabsent.
