#1987 - 06/13/07 08:11 PM Smoothing/Polishing granite
Anonymous Anonymous Unregistered	I have a granite (Zodiaq) sink top that has an edge that's unfinished. By unfinished I mean it's unpolished and kind of chalky/dusty. It's flat but it's just powdery and not shiny smooth. I should have had it finished at the factory when I ordered it but I thought it was going to be butted up against a wall. In order to correct my mistake, I was wondering if there's any way possible to smooth or polish the edge myself or am I left with it as it is. It's not a big deal but it would be nice if I could get it as smooth and finished as the sink top itself. Any input would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

The more coats, the smoother it will get and the urethane is durable against moisture and should give you a good bond. _________________________ Bart Blainey, B.E.R.
