HI CAN YOU PLEASE USE lower case letters in addition to the BIG ONES?????

Can you post a picture of the stone and the effected areas? This would help a lot.

It is possible it's something that can be fixed easily, but hard to tell just from a description.

Hi All:


I spoke with this woman today, and Lester and I believe she has blooms. It is unfortunate that we can not get to her house to assess the situation until after the holidays Her fabricator ( NOT US), attempted to fix the blooms by grinding them out.

I asked her to post on here with hopes that someone has a solution she and her husband can do on their own.

For those who want a giggle.. the sealer company she used consulted Fred Heuston.

Joe: Kowboy: Please do not reply to this post.

Can you post pictures? If not, e-mail them to me and I will post them for you. The green bloom can be removed. However, if your fabricator put a grinder on the face, there is a chance that you may need more than just bloom repair. Pics would help a lot.

Yikes!

what did Fred have to say, Im curious?

[MIA1977]

Fred thought it was caused by either superglues or the resins werent cured properly.

[Ken Lago]

I think Fred was probably right, what was his solution?

[carpenterznailum2003]

Its the accelerator that you use in those super glues.Bellinzoni is an absorbing paste that works great.

Hey brian!! Did you think from the photos my green spots are bloom???

Hi Mia

Your post will probably get far more attention next week because everyone is involved with getting our workshop which starts Thursday.. Many of the guys have been out there setting up for a couple of weeks.. Brian and his wife are there too so they will be a bit busy... If you don't get the answers right away.. they are coming..

[MIA1977]

Thanks Jean,you have been such a big help.

[Brian Briggs]

Sorry for the delay. I am finally caught up from being at the workshop. Here are the pics.

The Mangia Macchita paste from GQ will remove those blooms, it has worked for us in the past. It is a chemical in the CA curing spray that causes this.

This appears to be "Blooms" for sure.
Easily fixed most of the time. Do you plan to do this? or is Jean going to assist you on this?

[CustomMarbleGraniteToo]

Jean is probably not free to get into her neighborhood until mid - January..

If Mia doesn't get them out, I ask Justin - Creekside to go..

[Justzack]

Mia, Have you made any progress with this?

[Chris Mills]

Definately looks like blooms. Is this paste from GQ better than our own poultice?

[Dan R.]

Premixed
labeled
ready to go
easy to use
you decide
for me, yes.

[MIA1977]

Thank you so much for your replies!! I had a company called marblelife try to get blooms out,no such luck.Not sure what poultice they used.Definately going to buy that paste from QG !!! thanks again

[Justzack]

Can you tell us what they tried to do?

[Chris Mills]

I'll take your word Dan..of course.
