I was wondering how this product holds up while etching on granite?

I would not know how it would hold up on granite. I know that I used to engrave over 900 tools (of varying types and strengths of steel), and the original tip still looks new. I would think it's worth a shot, but I wouldn't say for certain that it would hold up.

Though I have NOT tried granite I would say at worst you may need the carbide tip which I believe is available. The one that came with my kit has worked so far on a lot of tools/metals and still seems good to go.

Granite has a hardness of 6-7 and the carbide steel point has a hardness of of 8.5 so thepoint should win out. It depends on how detailed a design you are trying to do since thetip will round some in use. There is the heavy duty #9929 point as an alternative.

This product will most likely work for your application on granite, but there may be a mismatch in the color in the event that the product compresses out while repairing it will be visible as a yellowish clear substance. I would recommend JB weld epoxy for your application.

I believe the polish has a wax in it. The polish definitely creates a nice shine. I use the cleaner then the polish. And sometimes use just the polish for touch ups but don't make that a habit. I'd guess that because it has wax, it could build up. I haven't experienced that though. My granite is uba tuba and has a 15 year seal on it so it doesn't require annual sealing. Hope this helps.I love both products & am no longer able to find in our local stores. For us, any other granite cleaners & polishes don't compare.

I've been using it on my granite counter top for several months now and have not noticed any issues. I try to use a specific granite cleaner as often as possible (I like Method) - because those have ingredients that help prolong the sealant on the granite. But the Seventh Generation soap is very mild and has not caused any issues for me so far.

I think it will depend on if there is a finish on the marble. Can you try a small corner that's not very visible? This product is amazing on granite.

I don't really know the answer but my guess is its not meant to be used on a natural surface possibly due to porosity of the natural stone? The chemicals in the product are meant to be used on artificial surfaces. I tried it on granite too but decided to stick to products made for that purpose.

Grinding rice helps eliminate powdering, a common condition with stone. Hopefully this granite is strong enough that it will not continue to powder. If it does then I would suspect the granite is of poor, weak quality. Could you kindly update us if the powdering eventually stopped after conditioning? I'm interested in buying this myself. Thanks! :-)

I just tried it on my honed granite and it did in fact stick. Just make sure you moisten the suction cups a little.

It occurs to me that silicone has high friction and that a thin film of it on granite would feel sticky. So an idea would be to completely clean the top surface after sealing.

It did not on my granite top. I applied as directed and removed as directed. Left the surface smooth and well waterproofed. There was some temporary discoloration when I first wiped it off, but that soon dried and the counter looked as before. Worked very well.

Not sure but it worked great on my granite. I certainly would try this product for that purpose as my contractor seems to use it on everything he installs. He trusts this products.

We use a regular granite and stone counter top sealer/cleaning spray twice a month. Seems to be doing the job!

I used the product on an outdoor travitine floor. We were happy with the results. I remember when I was doing some research for myself DuPont had a website. Sorry I cannot give specific answers as to black granite.

I am confident that the 3M adhesive would enable one to stick it to granite. Just make certain that it is not exposed to any water or moisture.

I bought it to etch some granite and have a fairly light duty compressor - 7 gallon 100 - 125 psi. It barely made a mark. It might do the job if you have a more robust compressor, though not sure.

Yes, the etching is permenant and will remain if it gets wet. I did have to leave the product on for quite a while for it to have the etching effect I wanted. I applied several coats as well and left each one on for about 30 minutes.
