Cameron gave me some of his secret polishing powder at the show and all I can say is "unbelievable".
I had a wicked set of black rings left on a honed carrera top from my Woods Lifter..Nothing and i mean nothing would remove it..Tried every poltice known and nothing..Finally I broke into the silver can and wetted my finger with some powder....BAM!!!! no stain. :shock:

I now need to know where I can buy this stuff and what grits can I get it in...CAMERON DEMILL you are my hero!!!

Agreed we are doing tons of limestone-soapstone-and marble..I think it's a beach thing. WE call it "casual stone"..But very few people really addressing the issues with maint. and repair andd I think Cameron is capt badAss for runnning with it.

So Cam where do i buy the magic polishing dust?

technically is "honing" powder, my polishing powder is still a secret.

and what you had was an etch, not a stain.

not being a dick, but you need to be able to identify the difference if youre going to venture into this area of stone.

I package and sell it. PM me and I can give you pricing.

Honing Powder...sorry i was really pumped it worked so I mis-stated ;)

Your not a dick Cameron..But I think technically it was an abrasion from the lifter cups slipping under load and given the composition of the cups and the calculated cof relative to the vacume coupled with the duration of the lift ( app. 2 min.) and the relative dilution of surface water present on the stone( with a php hardness on the akaline side of 7.4) it is not plausible to create an etch within the scope of conditions present. With that, your right... aside from a bunch of BS(sited above) i don't know shite about marble and need to get it figured out. But for me I have to have the pressure of faliure to learn...catch as catch can

To be old and wise you must first be young and foolish. :mrgreen:

Hi Cameron :)

I'm still waiting for that secret potion. I've got a job this week that it would come in handy. Your honing powders have been providing excellent results (as well as always being willing to share "Top Secret" information.

BTW, Keep up the excellent work!

Hi Trask :)

Not only do you need to hone up on your marble skills, but brush up on your spelling. I believe Demill deserves an extra e.
:lol:
