Glad I could help! Have fun with your project!!

Awesome! Thank you!

Glad I could inspire and help!!

Welcome!

Thanks!! So glad I helped and you liked the video.

You are welcome. Thanks for watching!!

Is it possible to get the information, what kind of glue I have to use, if I want to attatch the stone shelf to iron/steel?

Thanks for the question. I believe I would use the same caulk used for the sink. I would contact BB Industries. They have create customer support to answer questions. I have never attached granite to iron or steel. Here is the link. www.bbindustriesllc.com/?msclkid=803196f37c161b6a3e7af223268da85c&Branded%3A%20Search%3A%20Braxton-Bragg%20(US)%20-%20JF&Braxton-Bragg I have never attached granite to iron or steel. Hope this helped.

Sorry for the late response. Crazy busy schedule. I usually set my grinder to 2. I use that for all my operations. Thanks for watching.

The piece in the video took about an hour. The whole countertop for this job was about 6 hours. Glad it was helpful!!

I use this product form BB Industries. Here is the link for sealers and enhancers or just sealer. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html

Wow. I didn’t expect a reply. Thanks so much for the link!!

Usually if the granite is still a little cloudy it is because some of the larger scratches left by a previous sanding pad was not fully removed. I have had this happen to me. The only fix is to go back and start the polishing process over again. I would first try a small section and see if that fixes it. You will know for sure by doing this. The enhancer will bring the colors out but will not remove the cloudiness from polishing. Here is the brand that I use. www.bbindustriesllc.com/sealers-adhesives-cleaners/sealers/stone-shield.html Granite fabrication is very stressful. I remember my first slab. Very stressful. It gets easier. Thanks for watching and fabricating your own tops. Very rewarding.

@@designbuildandfix Thanks for your continued help and understanding. I'm learning lots, but it really is an undertaking.

If it is an end piece that is next to the stove you will need to do 3 sides. The back that is against the wall can stay rough. Once they are polished and you are happy with how they look, you are done. Hope this answered your question. Thanks for commenting!

On the stove sides I usually just round it over with the 50 grit pad to slightly round the edge and then go thru all the rest of the pads to make it shine. Hope this answered your question.

Thanks! I have thought about doing it that way but I have not tried. I have a big granite top to do for the lake house series I am doing now. I will give it a try. Thanks for commenting!

I get them from BB Industries. Here is the link to the website. www.bbindustriesllc.com/blog/post/braxton-bragg-changes-name-to-bbindustries

I use a company called Braxton Brag. They have great customer service people to answer any fabrication questions. Here is the link to their site. www.bbindustriesllc.com/?msclkid=7faf82a77d89151ec2a4e16b20e12f98&Branded%3A%20Search%3A%20Braxton-Bragg%20(US)%20-%20JF&Braxton-Bragg Hope this helps!!!

I am so sorry! I did not see this until now. Somehow I missed it. It is Makita 9565CV. This is a variable speed grinder. Hope this helps.

I'm glad!

I buy all my supplies from Braxton-Bragg.com. They are very helpful and will answer any questions you have about products and what would be the best for you to buy. Thanks for watching my video!!!

The problem is most likely in the pads that you are using. If you got them from HF they are most likely not diamond tipped. In order to polish granite you have to use diamond tipped pads. I buy all my supplies at Braxton Brag. Here is the link to their site if I did not give it to you before. www.bbindustriesllc.com/blog/post/braxton-bragg-changes-name-to-bbindustries You will also need a variable speed grinder like I used in the video. If you are using a drill you are not getting up to the 3000 rpms to polish. I have included 3 links to the supplies you will need. First one is the pads. It is only a 3 step process. It will save you a few bucks. The second link is for the grinder I use in the video and the third link is for the backing pad you will need.

@@designbuildandfix Thanks again for your detailed explanation and help. It turned out I was assuming the more water the better. I got the shine back as you said with 3000 but with no water. Thanks

@@spokeman I can see that. Sometimes too much water is not good because the pads will float above the surface if not enough pressure is applied. Also a dry pad can be used with water but only a little. Glad it worked out!! Nothing better then a project done by yourself!! Enjoy your work.

@@spokeman if you polishing without water... you just polishing the dirt... after you clean what you polish that will be again not polished to the best effect. always use water.... as it take the dust off...

I get all my equipment from BB Industries. They are great and have people who can answer many of your question. Here is the link to the site. www.bbindustriesllc.com/

Thanks for the comment. We all start at the beginning knowing nothing and learn along the way. I have never had that happen to me in the years that I have been fabricating. Maybe it is because I never over use my pads and replace the Velcro pads frequently. Thanks for the information!! I will start with it in contact with the granite>

I could see how that would work. You must have a steady hand. I would not recommend that for a beginner. Glad it works for you.

Yes, I know that is why I have up graded to a water fed grinder designed for water. I did however make sure I was plugged into a GFI receptacle. That will at least help!

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately there are many fabricators out there that are just trying to make as much money as possible and don’t care about the quality of product or don’t respect the customers property. Hope everything works out.

You make no sense

@@pedrosoliz7 What doesn't make sense about an inexperienced, incompetent contractor who completely screwed the job up? This nit-wit brought huge quartz slabs requiring four guys to move them and they were cut wrong, not polished, mismatched, and even screwed up the sink install. Why is that so hard to understand?

@@blaster-zy7xx you pay for what you get lol 😂

@@pedrosoliz7 Were you trying to say "You get what you pay for?" One of us doesn't make much sense and it isn't me.
