Sanding Marble By Hand

Thanks again for the helpful article and comments.

Sanding marble by hand. After going over the entire surface with 120 grit sandpaper. Work the sander over the granite countertop until the entire surface area is lightly sanded intermittently stopping and misting the work area with water. Use special silicone carbide sandpaper in range of grits to slowly work out those imperfections. Dirt and dust will compress into the marble further scarring or discoloring the surface.

As an alternative use sheets of sandpaper or a sanding block and sand the marble top by hand. While this method will work fine for statues tile and marble countertops sanding large areas of marble like marble floors requires a completely different process and technique. Marble floor polishing can remove small scratches. Patricia kirby november 9th 2017 at 17 24.

Make sure to use light and even pressure when sanding the marble countertop. With the bonus that wet sanding marble by hand can instantly make one feel like an ancient roman craftsman.

You can polish the flooring either by dry sanding or wet sanding. That s great to hear. Horan fine arts november 10th 2017 at 10 41.
