Everyone,
Ok, I am trying to restore my marbles by hand. I am using the diamond pads and have grinded the marble down to where I want it (see pic). The problem that I am having is getting rid of the milky frosting and get the bright glass look back into the marble. I have a pound of Cerium Oxide in powder form, mixed it with water to make a paste, and tried to hand buff with no luck. I then used a dremel tool with polishing pad and the marble was getting too hot and I was affraid it was going to crack, so I stopped. What is the secret ? or what am I doing wrong ? The diamond pad grit that I was using was a 1800 grit. Do I need one that is finer ? I would really appreciate any help on my restoration project. Regards, Grant
