Does anyone know what to use to apply this enhancer to travertine split face mosaic? The stone is uneven and rough so a roller is out of the question

The best method is a inexpensive chip brush. Apply the sealer with the brush and pad off the extra sealer that doesn't absorb into the stone with a rag or paper towel

I use a cheap paint brush. Be careful of splatter on walls as it will stain.

I used a paint brush to cover uneven flagstone and it worked well. Be sure to blot any "pools" of sealer, as pools dry darker.

Definitely a paint brush with blotting, but test on a small area first ... this stuff is quite glossy if it pools at all, and if your surface is what I'm picturing then you might end up with lots of little glossy spots that will make you wish you had used a more "natural look" product.

I would say yes. I just used it on some white brushed finished travertine. It penetrated well and left no haze. Since the marble has a matte finish, I think the sealer would perform in a similar way.

Oil is best but water with drop of dish soap will work. It's a decent stone.

It's pretty hard. A lot like alumalite in if you've ever worked with that. This is a crazy good product. If it's not working you're doing something wrong. Check to be sure you're mixing the 2 parts properly. This is one to one ratio I believe. I measure *by weight* not volume. Don't guesstimate. Also prep your surfaces and this is not a quick cure. Give it enough time to cure before you unclamp it.

Personally I have never applied it with stones in place. As I've mentioned before I like to heat the piece to ( a blowdryer works for me) so I guess if the stone can take the heat I don't see why it wouldn't work. Although I would definitely do a test piece first :-)

I mix it to polish Gem Stones as a paste directly on the stone. Normally takes to or three times for a fabulous shine. I have also used it to polish crystal faces on watches using the same principle (do not use on plastic).

Hi JadeThis tile includes a mix of browns and beiges glass. The stone is travertine and emperador dark marble. I would recommend ordering a sample to see how it responds to your lighting. Tile can be finicky much like wall paint depending on the room.CheersColin WhartonRocky Point Tile

I use a polishing cloth and once a month cleaning solution. I recently had to have the tines tightened because the stone seemed loose and actually fell out.

Yes,you can. I use it on travertine tile and it does a fantastic job! I hope this is helpful!!

Not sure. I use it on travertine and love it. I have tried others. I would ask the company specifically that question.

Use a digital angle finder to readjust the rod angle if you have stones of different thickness. Not an issue with the diamond stone kit, the diamond stones are all the same thickness

Not sure. I tried it on stone (travertine) & it didn't work @ all. Not a fan of the product.

I agree with the other answer, that the product could do very well on your mosaic table. Do mix -- and mix some more -- before pouring the glaze. It is self-leveling, and the only problem you might have is run-off at the edges if there are little "grout valleys". The heat gun sounds like a good idea.

I'm not sure what you are trying to do. Yes, but it's over kill. Carbide sanding disks 80-120-240-320 should get you there. There is not much you can do with the surface of travertine to make it like new.

You can use this product either inside or outside. I spoke with DuPont prior to buying and they said that the sun and weather would, of course, shorten the life of the product compared to using it inside. I'm in Arizona so the extreme heat will likely affect it more. As for the enhancement, it does make the stone a little darker. I used it on travertine outside and it made it somewhat darker but not overly dark. I liked the outcome. I also used it on some flagstone and it affected that slightly more than the travertine. I'm very happy so far. It's been about a year and the water still beads up on the travertine. I'm guessing that I'll have to recoat every 3-4 years.

I noticed that also after applying and I thought I did do large of an area and left it on to long. I buffed it out using a stand up buffer I had purchased earlier and it was fine. I did have to change the pads several times while buffing. It's been a few months since then and I've had no problems at all. I purchased this product because it was recommended by the professional that installed my tile; which is travertine. I have roughly 1400 sf of tile in my home. Hope this helps.

I own both the flattening stone and the diamond stone and I can't imagine using that flimsy small diamond stone to flatten my Japanese water stone. It just isn't the right tool for the job, and it wouldn't give you the results you need. See my review for what this stone is good for.
