How To Refinish A Marble Counter Top

Remember to overlap your work area by a half inch each time you change-out a sanding disc grit. The marble refinishing process works best when you feel the abrasiveness of the disc. For estimating purposes: one sanding disc should hone up to seven square feet of marble. You simply need the right tools and products, along with some basic education on how to refinish a marble surface. Focus your vision over the dull areas and try to see the outline of the light bulb to determine the depth of the etching. Also, remember to stop the machine every twenty seconds and clean the sanding disc with a wet sponge and check the sanding discs’ surface with your fingertips. For areas that are completely dull and scratched, start the honing process (sanding) with 150 grit, and continue as specified in the aforementioned text. It is necessary to polish two and sometimes three times to achieve a brand new, highly polished look.

Yes! You Really Can Paint Tiles: Rust Oleum Tile Transformations Kit by pinklittlenotebook.com

The pink tiles around the tub and the shower stall where left as is. Make sure you protect your fixtures or any areas that meet the wall. Since you have to move fairly quickly with this paint, the hubby just used the edge of the roller to cut the corners in the shower. However, this may be the very reason why our roller started breaking apart at the very end. We inspected everything twice to make sure we had good coverage and it looked perfect. If we had the extra lighting, we would have caught this but in our current lighting conditions it was literally undetectable. I also had to darken the image a bit just to show you the outline. I just want to share my stupid mistake so this does not happen to you. This bathroom transformation has to be one of my favourites. The views and opinions expressed in this post are completely based on my own experience. I read some reviews where others have used it on floor tile with little to no maintenance afterwards.

Marble Polishing How To Refinish And Polish Marble | Duration 9 Minutes 20 Seconds We are shower people so it hasn’t been used for bathing but about 6 or 8 times over a 9 year period we’ve been there. I like that finished look, how does one built that frame and tile it around an older bathtub? I visited my brother-in-law and his wife and saw their “new” tile in their older house. I loved the simplicity of it and the fact that it almost resembles marble tile! Once you are done painting, you will definitely need to re-do all the caulking that you took out. I can’t wait to try this on ugly old hexagonal tile covering walls & floor. I felt like it was a waste of time and money to tear down perfectly good tile due to its dated colour. Keep in mind if you purchase the kit, you must get the colour tinted before you leave the store. This is epoxy paint that is engineered to bond tightly to ceramic or porcelain tile. Any brushes, trays or clothing that this paint touches is ruined. This paint kind of reminds me of a krazy glue on steroids, it is super duper adherent and will not come off easy after it dries. This process seemed to work okay for the bathtub but as you can see two people in our tiny shower stall was not happening. We started painting around mid afternoon when the sun was shining through the window, by the time we finished painting, the sun was no longer gleaming in. I guess working in a tight space, we didn’t realize the shadows starting to creep in especially when we got to the bottom. So if your working in a tight space where shadows maybe lurking around, bring in the extra lighting! The product itself specifically states for use on “wall tile”. Our cast iron tube installed by builder in 1977 is in very good condition and because of the labor involved and disruption of pulling it out of there, we have chosen to leave it as is. I am thinking of using this product to paint the tiles of our backsplash. Very courageous to try that out but obviously it was worth it. Yes, you need to scrape off all the caulking that the paint will come in contact with prior to starting. I believe the only reason they suggest to do it that way is because if you were to paint the caulking, it wouldn’t last over time and it would just start to wear away. I seriously wouldn’t consider digging out the grout!
