Author: tim707@verizon.Subject: absolute black and water stainsPosted: 22 Dec 2009 at 3:34amHi all I have read through a lot of information but have yet to have my concern directly answered, so here goes. I have a stone that is called absolute black and I read this site before buying it so I have heard all the posts about that name and the dying problems, lemons do not affect the surface at all so whatever it is it is very dense, but we are getting water spots around the sink area. If you do not wipe every bit of water up any amount of water will leave a spot. I did NOT seal this stone so it is not a sealer problem. What can do done to remove the water spots? Someone said vinegar but that di nothing at all, the surface is shiny and still looks good but it bothers me to see the spots.

Author: trader889Subject: Mixing old with new black absolutePosted: 07 Dec 2009 at 4:00amI recently bought a demo kitchen that came with black absolute from India. The black absolute has already been sealed and has a dull, non shiny surface. The kitchen layout has been rearranged a bit and as such, I need to get a new piece of black absolute for one section. I found a piece that matches the pattern closely from a slab company, but the stone is already shiny and polished.Can the new stone be dulled to look like the old black absolute? Please note, the old and new stones will not be directly adjacent to each, it will be separated by the sink. The slab company also said that for the old stone they can only do an acetone wash because its already been sealed. It cannot be "repolished". Don't know if all this is true, but I would love to hear opinions. Obviously, I would like not to buy all new countertops. Thanks.

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: Water Mark on Absolute Black GranitePosted: 01 Dec 2009 at 4:42pmI would have a stone restoration professional look at it. I have dealt with these problems and was able to polish out with proper granite polishing compound and hand machine.
