We did our countertops with this product, only to find that after we applied it, it has dimples and uneven. What can we do to repair this?

Not much you need to strip it and start again but be careful to clean the stripper off 100% and let the surface dry completely.

And, i would folliw the direction to the "t" by sanding the first coat then applying the second coat which will protect it indefinitely. For a nice finish apply twice after your first application! ! :)

If it's still in liquid form just use a paper towel and wash down thoroughly with soap and water and throw whatever you used to clean it out or save it for the next time. If it's solidified, that's more of a problem. I have scraped it off with a razor blade scraper, but it takes a very long time and then you have to be careful that you don't scratch up your counter.

It all depends on the amount of imperfection. It did not fully level out my floor. I should have leveled the floor first.

This product is more like an oil than a top coat finish so it depends on what the other product you have used as to how it all might look if you go ahead and apply the polyx to the rubbed off area. The good news is that you could give this product a try, and then if it hasn't blended in well, then try sanding later. When you sand afterwards it's not the same as sanding off a 'varnish', you are simply sanding the floor boards themselves (as the polyx is absorbed rather than sitting on the surface). Hope this makes sense. I also am no expert, just a user.

Did you season it first with some spray Pam etc.. a high heat oil like canolla. it fills in the irregularities in the surface. Also since you have used it already try using Pam first for a while. When cooking do not put your heat as high as you did for your old pans For Cleaning: wipe out with a paper towel when still warm not hot with warm soapy water. Do not immerse in cold water when hot

I would guess it depends what shape your countertop is in to start with. The better it is, the more shine it would leave. I use it once a month on my countertop to repel stains and water marks while providing lustre. I was all set to get a new countertop until I tried this product. It works for me, and if you try it, I hope it works equally for you.

You need to be sure your floor is very clean before applying the Murphy's. if that doesn't help I suggest you look closer at the floor and make sure it doesn't have a buildup of old wax.

To be honest, I think Giani's topcoat needs improvement. What I did where it happened on my countertops was use a minwax clear polyurethane coating. First you sand the area that is peeling with 600 grit sandpaper, then apply the new polyurethane coating. It is much more durable than the one Giani gives with their kit.

You may have some buildup in there. If you heat up some water and pour it over it might help. Also you may want to contact them directly. dorcousa.com

Gosh, I have no idea! I did read recently that the Pam cooking spray I used may have been the cause of the staining. Sorry that's all I know!!

It could be several things. We'd need a little more info before troubleshooting this. However, my top 3 guesses would be:1. You used the wrong cleaners on it (anything chemical heavy or abrasive is a no-go)2. It is a layer of paint after all, items can ding it, chip it, etc causing this.3. Especially if it's around the sides or corners it very well could be improper application or top coating.

Sounds like it was not sanded enough. Finish should have been the the sample provided before top coating.

I used it on a solid top counter top that I had sanded out some scratches. I guess you need a pro to sand it down properly toan original shine. This product did nothing.

I used an impregnator sealant because I didn't want shiny countertops. It didn't work as well as we'd hoped. :( I asked someone on Instagram who also had concrete counters (that looked gorgeous) what she used: Trewax Stone & Tile Finish. I'll be doing another coat in the next year or so and plan to use that.

I just thoroughly cleaned them with my usual household all purpose cleaner then rinsed off the counter two or three times to make sure I got any and all residue off, then let it thoroughly dry. I don't believe I ever used anything abrasive or sanded first. I am not having any chipping problems. I just followed the directions in the kit. I had mauve/rose colored formica counters that were really "fugly"! Looks a lot better now and I'd never done anything like this before! They came out great and they're hold up great. I'm careful not to cut anything on them or put anything hot on them and I wipe up with my dish cloth when I'm done doing dishes or just plain water.

I doubt it's from the Meguiar's 205. Likely that whatever you are using to apply it-- a rag or a buff or whatever-- is a little too rough, and is leaving swirl marks. Switch to something finer or softer. like Domet Flannel. It is also possible that the finish you are polishing isn't hard enough to buff out yet. Maybe let your finish cure longer, and get harder. Hope this helps.
