Maurizio, I have installed granit for a customer and used liquid nails(ln-933)for an adhesive. spots are showing through the granit this has always been normal, and the spots usually go away after 5-6 days. This paticular time they are fading but not completely going away. The granit is the golden leaf. Will the wet stains eventualy go away? Customer is not wanting to pay because of this. Is there a book or info i can get to resolve this problem? Thanks, jeff

 

Dear Jeff:

Liquid nail is the wrong bonding agent for granite countertop installation – end of the debate.

 

“ and the spots usually go away after 5-6 days ”

 

You've been lucky so far.

 

“ This paticular time they are fading but not completely going away. ”

 

This time you ran out of luck… L

 

“ Will the wet stains eventualy go away? ”

 

I don't know for sure, but I doubt it.

 

“ Customer is not wanting to pay because of this. ”

 

I honestly don't blame them. I wouldn't myself if it were my own kitchen.

 

“ Is there a book or info i can get to resolve this problem? ”

 

A book??... If those stains will not go away within another few days, they there for keeps and there's nothing that you can do to remove them.

 

The next time, use 100% clear silicone instead.
