Can Clapham's beeswax salad bowl finish be used to seal a marble table

I doubt it. Marble is a stone, any wax probably could be used, we just have never worked with non-porous items, only wood.

It will fill the pores for awhile but it is not a permanent thing, would need to be redone from time to time. Once it is on surface other sealers will have a hard time sticking without stripping. Hope this helps.

Yes, Clear-Seal will work well on flagstone pavers with no problem. It will get glossier with multiple coats.

Hi Eric. It just so happens I have stumbled on a nice sealer/finisher, a totally matte spray by Deco Art, Americana. It is nicely clear, doesn't seem to yellow the paint and is just the ticket for the crackle medium. I found it on Amazon, and it may be a bit pricier than something you'd find in Home Depot type box store, but it works fine. I'm doing a big wall cupboard in crackle, and I am thinking about using it on a table if it's conducive to using as a dining top finish. Good luck! Terri C.

Marble is included in the list of recommended sealed stone surfaces that it can be used on. I don't have any marble surfaces so I haven't tried it on a marble surface myself. It works fine wherever I have used it though.

Not sure... The table's care instructions don't mention beeswax, although I can't imagine it would hurt. The wax definitely adds a minor layer of protection and helps enhance appearance. I would get some and apply to a spot on the underside of the table as a test to see if you like it

Yes. Once the mineral oil is dry, sand with 220 lightly and apply salad bowl finish. Buff with 0000 steel wool or a white automotive polishing pad when dry. Re apply and buff until you get the luster you want. Most likely 3 coats.

Marble is a very porous rock. this top is sealed but not all seals work the best. since it is white it would most likely show stains if you leave something long on the top of it. I recommend getting a marble cleaner product for this countertop and sealing it in a durable sealer from a hardware store.

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.

Nothing seems to work. We sealed our marble with a good sealer as soon as we put it together. Acids (lemon or lime juice and vinegars) seem to wreak the most havoc on the marble top. We removed the sealer and sealed it again but had no luck. We love the island too much to get rid of it so we decided to live with the spots.

I finished a table I built two years ago, fished with Danish oil then used arm r seal satin. It looks great after two years. It isn't shiny at all but very durable. Use at least three coats ( I did 7 ) with very light wet sanding with 600 grit after the 2 nd coat and between each successive coat. I used a staining pad to apply and it was one of the easiest finishes I've ever used

I use the stone tech for my granite counters in the kitchen. I also have carrera marble counters in the MBR and found " Marble Wax" by Town Talk Polish to work very well on the marble counters. It helped with stains and rings from bottles as it protects the surface and keeps a shine. Since it would be slippery, don't use it on the floor. It also has a wonderful lavender aroma, so you won't even mind the application.

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.

I used it on marble benches in a bank lobby after first cleaning them. I then applied this product and thoroughly buffed it into the marble as a polish and sealer.

Yes it will, but soap and water will do the same job. I made butcher block counter tops for my kitchen and finished them with salad bowl finish. They look great and the finish wears well.

I personally have never tried that but I have seen this product - Resin Craft Surface Coat Spray - Fast drying, clear gloss finish/sealer. Ideal for fixing small blemishes in cured resin pieces. I would be interested to see if that works. It is from Environmental Technology.

I hope to get this bench and what I will use is the same nontoxic mixture I use on my wooden plates and bowls for kitchen use: a mixture of beeswax and coconut oil. Simply melt the beeswax in a double boiler and then stir in coconut oil. Less coconut oil for a "harder" final wax or more coconut oil for a "softer" wax. If you don't want to make it yourself there is a company that sells artisan wooden kitchen spoons and things that sells this for the wood utensils they sell: http://www.woodspoon.com/spoon-care/

I think the answer would be yes, but the tops are not marble, it is some kind of faux finish with a type of polyurethane top coat.
