Pietra di Cardoso |
Article Number: 606 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Tue, Oct 9, 2007 at 12:00 AM |
Can Pietra di Cardoso be sealed with a type of sealer that will darken it to look like oiled soapstone?? How often will I have to seal my Pietra di Cardoso counters?
Dear Nancy:
Of course you can. A good-quality stone color enhancer like MB-6 applied al least twice will do the trick for you.
How often, you ask?
Well, you have eyes to see, don't you?...:-)
When it will fade, you will know that's the time to do it again! It should be good for a fewe years, though.
Now remember, it's never too early to think about the proper maintenance of your stone. The issue of what you'll be doing day in and day out to your stone is – like it should be intuitive – vastly more important than its sealing
(if and when possible and/or advisable) and it's all too often neglected. As you can tell by reading many of this site's postings, you're not likely to get good information about it from your dealer or installer. Don't become another statistic!
