mmuehlba Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 well I got this marble a few weeks ago and thought it was neat as it is an end of or first off marble ?? I think so at least . so I thought it should be helped a little so I waxed it so it would show better .

VTAndrea Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 That's really interesting, Mike. How long does the "wax" finish last? Does it fill in the rough surface? Did you hand buff it afterward? Details!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJnew2marbles Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 No Kidding! Some details! Does the solution do anything to the glass after it has been on there? Any yellowing?

m!b$ Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Is the wax easy to remove, and how do you remove it without damaging the marble? Do you know if an ordinary floor wax might work just as well? DETAILS!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmuehlba Posted March 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Hi all this does not damage the marble , it does not yellow ,and it does not fill in chips , but it will fill in small nicks , it is very much like painting on water , you must put on a very little as it will flow down . I have started using this on my African trade beads . Also if you want to remove it just soak in water and wash it off , but it will take a while as it is a hard finish since it is made for high traffic hall ways in a school . I have had some well over 10 years and still look great . There was a lot of years ago an artist that used a product like this but it was a little different as he would apply and then put in a sphere machine to make round , I saw a 2 inch clambroth that he did , he ground the glass down and then repainted the lines and then applied a polymer and then ground round , he did a great job but the marble community complained so much he stopped redoing marbles.
