Old Style Methods For Polishing Marble
I began this work many decades ago when marble edges were polished by hand. Today such work is done entirely by machine but there are still circumstances where hand polishing would be a useful skill to know. For a company that specializes in all types of marble consider Atlanta marble.
Edge polishing at one time existed in its own semi skilled category. These polishers spent their whole working day rubbing hundreds of feet of marble edges and would develop strange physical deformities, bulging shoulder muscles and a thumb that would curve back and touch their own wrist were the most common.
The entire process would begin when the edges to polish were identified on numerous marble slabs, then the marble was placed on long benches and their patterns were matched. The exposed edges that required polishing perhaps hundreds of feet, would be identified and marked.
Each slab is then propped up so that the uppermost edge can be polished. Cleaning supplies needs include simply bucket of water, a sponge and a rag.
Work would be performed using different grades of carborundum stone blocks. Due to the deep wheel marks saw blades can leave in the surface of the marble, this is the most time-consuming step in the process. The stone would be moistened and the rubbed along the edges of the marble. The coarse corners of the marble can be rubbed off to create extremely small flat corner referred to as arris. For company that specializes in polishing all types of marble get a hold of marble polishing Atlanta.
Every now and then the marble had to be dried to check on progress, this was achieved by whirling the rag in the air above the work. This is by far the best way to dry large sections of wet stone.
On the removal of scratches that are deep and other wheels marks with the 60 grit, the second stone with grit 120, which is a bit finer than the previous stone is used. This stone is used until the scratches are all removed and have been replaced with even finer scratches.
The way to make marble smooth and perfect is to constantly subject the surface to very fine scratches until in the end the scratches are so tiny that they are invisible to the naked eye.
This process continues through at least six different grits of abrasive down to a 500 or 600 grit. The polishers themselves made the final block, oddly enough called snake, from marble glue and extremely fine carborundum dust, which was the final stone used.
At this point the marble surface is still not highly polished. The finish is smooth and fine. The last stage uses a hard felt block and a mixture of polishing powders, usually a mixture of pumice powder, putty powder and oxalic acid. One or all of these would be used wet or just damp to provide the final gloss.
With hand polishing, a lot of marble dust is not created, and this is advantageous since this dust is hazardous to the health of workers. Hand polishing generally produced a better finish than machine polishing will give you.
Unfortunately, polishing by hand takes a long time and lots of effort. Shortly after the advent of machine edge polishing, hand polishing skills slowly disappeared.
