Thanks. Will have to get some tomorrow as only have 96% acetone nail polish remover. I’m going to assume that’s a no no. After using it should I quickly dilute area with warm water? do you think it’ll remove the ghost stain? is the smoothness to it due to the silicone? and why didn’t my fabricators take care of this?!? Monsters.

All of you who are hating on the OP can just stop with that crap right now. The issue is that MSI are either liars, idiots or both. I live about 15 minutes from an MSI showroom/warehouse and we went over there twice (last month, March 2021) to pick out countertop slabs, and had the exact bar code and name on our pull sheet for the delivery to the fabricator that MSI uses. Which is Midnight Majesty - Concrete Finish, that's what we bought, the MSI website and the showroom and every person in there calls it that, and if you call MSI on the phone or walk into their shop, that's what it is. Nothing else, and nothing different. So the installers show up at my house yesterday and they have stuff that has "www.belenco.com" stamped all over the back. We looked at a LOT of slab options, manmade and natural, and we have a decent budget for the size of our project, and we're paying for multiple slabs to cover the space. I want what I paid for, that's all. I called MSI and the guy on the phone SWORE to me that this slab was NOT FROM MSI. No way, not possible. They don't even know who Belenco is, he tells me. Now the installers are freaking out, we are freaking out, the guy who owns the fabrication shop is not answering his phone and we have to choose whether or not we are going to let them install something that the freaking supplier says IS NOT WHAT WE PAID FOR at all. And now we see "Volcano Black" stamped on the back of the slabs as well. WTF is Volcano Black and what does it have to do with us? I called back to MSI - and on the second call, someone else tells me that they don't know Belenco, if that slab says "Volcano Black" on it, then it's NOT an MSI product. Installers take the whole mess and leave, our project manager is now freaking out, he goes over to the fabrication shop, finds the offcuts from our project, and says they have the same stamped on the back. I get in the car, go to MSI - boy were they surprised - and asked them to pull a slab and let me see the back. At this point they are freaking out since they've told me twice that it's not their product that's been delivered to my house. Anyone want to bet as to what I found on the back of that slab in their warehouse? And the back of a bunch more slabs? Funny how when you get into the guts of their warehouse you can see what's in there, but they don't allow you past the first couple rows when they are showing you pulled slabs. So now we are going to have to get our install next week, everyone in the project is pissed off, and all this could have been SO easily avoided if MSI had simply said, "yes, that's our product" instead of lying about it TWICE when I called them and had to make a snap decision. My only real regret at this point is that we didn't just pay the 25% more and get the Diresco from Stone Collection that we originally found, even though we'd have had to wait for a shipment to come in. If you Google around a bit, you can see that MSI and Belenco have been working together since 2015, and this is not the first - not even close - time that this has been an issue. It also turns out that MSI/Belenco/a couple other Turkish and Indian companies got popped by the US Dept of Commerce and fined for dumping and improper gov't subsidies in 2018 when Cambria Quartz went after them in court.

Curious - did your wrap/water make any changes to the slab? I just got soapstone installed in my kitchen redo and it had a chip. They came right out and took care of it with the crazy glue fix. They started with, "soapstone's going to chip", and I said that it was mine to chip, not theirs to chip, and they came right over and worked their magic. Yes, they need to fix! If Cambria doesn't give you any satisfaction, turn to their pages on Facebook and Twitter, and go after them. Believe me, it helps. They do not want bad publicity on those platforms. Good luck!

I am a fabricator. We have been doing a 1/16" (i.e. positive overhang) for 20+ years. We do it that way, even tho it requires some additional work in the office, because, in my opinion it looks better, is easier to clean (no sink ledge) and it masks the caulk joint between the countertop material and the sink. The cutout dimensions provided by the sink manufacturer invariably exposes the sink rim, sometimes as much as 3/4". An engineer at Kohler once explained to me that an overhang can theoretically be deemed unacceptable by an inspector since the applicable building code(s) usually has some language prohibiting "hidden" areas in the food prep area so the OEM's always have a negative reveal. In thousands of jobs over more than 2 decades we've never had an issue with our cutouts.
