This compound is used wet.
Preparation:
- Clean the surface, to be polished, from any debris, sand, and dirt.
- Protect surfaces that could be damaged by splatters with proper masking material.
- Prepare your surface for polishing by completing the honing process, to the highest clarity possible for best results.
Directions for Countertops:
- Target an area approximately 3 – 4 sq. ft.
- Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the MB-18 powder on the surface to be polished in a circular pattern, slightly smaller than the polishing pad to be used.
- Using a spray bottle, add enough water to the powder to soak the powder and the surrounding stone area you’re working on.
- Set the speed of the right-angle grinder/polisher (variable speed is a MUST) to the slowest speed.
- Using a hog’s hair pad, move the machine over the targeted area slowly, applying steady pressure.
- Check the surface for results after approximately 2 – 3 minutes.
- If you have a high polish, semi-flush the section and pull the slurry down to next section and repeat.
Directions for Floors:
- Target an area of approximately 10 – 15 sq. ft.
- Sprinkle approximately 1 ½ – 2 oz. (3 – 4 tablespoons) of MB-18 powder in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the diameter of the floor machine.
- Using a hog’s hair pad (highly recommended), position the floor machine with a full tank of water on top of the powder. (For best results, use 1.5 HP minimum and do not exceed 175 RPM.)
- Release some water and swiftly swing the machine back and forth over the targeted area to evenly spread the slurry. (Note: keep the slurry thick; not too wet)
- Polish slowly with a spiral motion moving from one end of the targeted area to the other and back.
- Continue polishing for 2.5 – 4 minutes. Then check the surface with a squeegee. You should have a high polish at this point.
- Next release just enough fresh water onto your target area to make vacuuming the used slurry easy and vacuum to remove.
- Then clean with a neutral cleaner such as MB-1 Floor Amore or MB-15 StoneGlow.
- Now repeat this process on next section.
