I have little bits of a hard substance in my cream? Is this normal and will it effect how it etches?

Shake it well, but these have no bearing on the cream's effectiveness. They are just where it's lost some liquid. And let it sit longer for a deeper etch. I do 10 minutes.

Sorry I dont have that problem, but I konw that with etching you can try polish with a buffer and repeat the process at least 2 times and if it doesnt work, you might need to call a pro. I use the polish to shine my floors with a buffer and it works great

I find a few of those every time I use it. Mostly on my hands. Not enough for it to be a problem, though. I'm not sure what causes it.

My more minor ones are pretty much gone, my deeper ones seem a little smaller. I've only been using the cream for about a month now, so I figure over time the deeper ones will diminish completely :)

I'd send it back. It could be old, or melted and re-solidified. It's supposed to be creamy, not grainy.

I am not a dentist or a healthcare provider. I am just a regular guy who has used this product and three or four others similar. I would think that this is not normal and probably not good. What may have happened is that when you heated the material up and made your imprint, you may have done so in an unnatural way to your normal bite. This can happen with this type of product, as we think we are racing the clock to make the imprint before the material cools. I suggest you clean the product exceptionally well and repeat the heating and imprint operation. Try to preposition the sliding tabs to where you think you will need your lower jaw before you heat and imprint. This may allow your bite, even with your lower jaw extended a bit, to be more natural and in the correct plane to prevent pressure on your teeth. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will also answer. Good luck.

Hi Margaret: I have not experienced or at least, noticed what you are seeing. It sounds as if you are getting some stone-on-stone abrasion with the granite. My set is currently at home in New Zealand and I am at my other home in France where I have a high-fired ceramic set, however, as soon as I return to New Zealand I will check mine and get back to you. I rinse mine under warm water, dry it and then rub a little olive oil into it rather than putting it into the dishwasher. Also, I use mine mostly for things like ginger, garlic and spices, adding a little olive oil for lubrication.

Since I don't have this problem, I would suggest that you be very careful. The points are sharp and should be used with caution.

Depends on how you dilute it and how long you leave it on, full strength it may leave a stain but not etch.

It isn't as hard as a puck, you can push your finger through it, but it isn't the consistency of a latherable cream, if that makes sense. This is all I will use from now on, love it. Used both pucks and creams.

Yes, that was my experience as well. Unfortunately, the entire contents seems to have dried up in my tube, which is really too bad because it does seem to work well otherwise. It may be better to purchase this sealant in a much smaller quantity.

You shouldn't feel any stickiness as this cream has a lot if water in it. It should go on smoothly and absorb quickly.

If it shows up correctly on the stamper before you stamp, it is likely the type of polish you are using. It needs to be a less liquidy polish to transfer correctly I have found..

I'm sorry, Suzanne, I really don't know the answer to that...but I will say I've found very little it won't take out....is it liquid polish or cream? I wouldn't scrub or rub it because you might just smear the polish...but you could wet it first...then either use the Quick N Brite as a paste or diluted as a liquid (remember you can put it in water and put it in the microwave to melt it and make it inot liquid) and pile it on good and sort of daub it in...let it sit awhile and then try blotting it with a rag to try to take the polish out. Sure can't hurt, can it? LOL Hope it works for you!

Probably have to get it hot to thin out the viscosity of the resin like paste. I just stab it with toothpicks and use that.

It's not a hard puck and it's not soft like cream out of a can. Use a good brush and you will lather up very well.

Depends where it comes from, if it is an outside source from chem guys then 50/50, but if it does come from chemical guys then it will . Mine did not. So I just ended up getting a mini bottle same size or lil bigger and going that route. The cream I use a microfiber applicator and spread it out that way. I hope this answers ur questions. This product works great.
