How to Hone Travertine, Terrazzo, Marble and Limestone Floors:
- Read label directions and cautions before using.
- NOTE: THIS PROCESS SHOULD ONLY BE USED BY EXPERIENCED, TRAINED TECHNICIANS.
- We STRONGLY suggest viewing the set of DVDs on how to hone and polish soft stones and come to the training class in Indianapolis before doing honing jobs.
- The lower the grit number, the more aggressive the hone, just like with sandpaper.
- Test in an inconspicuous area to determine the ease of application and desired results.
- Make sure surface is clean, dry and free of waxes and coatings.
- If surface is heavily soiled, pre-clean with StoneTech Klenz-All™, rinse and dry.
- Mask off baseboards, carpet, etc., with protective plastic and/or blue painter’s tape.
- If you are using a variety of abrasive grits, ensure that the surface is well rinsed and a new Gorilla Hogs Hair Natural Pad is used for each changeover.
- Apply about 1/2 cup Honing Powder plus 1 cup clean water to stone surface.
- Refinish using a hand orbital sander or weighted heavy-duty 175 rpm floor machine at 130 to 140 lbs., 175 rpm, fitted with a pad driver and a Gorilla natural hair pad.
- Keep compound wet while buffing with plenty of water. Add Honing Powder as needed.
- Buff area until desired level of hone is achieved.
- Rinse well and use a wet vacuum or hot water extraction unit to remove all excess compound.
- Clean equipment with water.
- How to achieve a polished finish on marble and limestone:
- Use successively higher grits of Honing Powder to close the face of the stone and follow with StoneTech Polishing Powder as applicable.
