What do you think of this Carrara slab?
Comments (14)Amanda: thank you for sharing those images, they are night and day! The countertop turned out so beautiful. I can see why you love it. Mama goose: thanks for the comments. I think I am one of those people that is just OK with knowing marble will etch. It's still beautiful to me. That is interesting that you haven't sealed it and it isn't staining! They guys at the yard are trying to sell me a Dupont sealant that has a 15 year warranty. Idecor and others: thanks for your honest and optimism (Linelle!). I reached out to the owner of the fabrication shop that we are designated to use and told him I was worried I wouldn't like the color or size (its 9 ft prior to being cut and I have room for 10 ft). Up to this point, I had been using a salesperson that covers my builder's account but she just made it seem like 'it is what it is'. The owner said he would try to help me and has already 'found' some slabs in their personal inventory. I am going to go look at them tomorrow. They are supposed to be over 10 ft long so I am optimistic....See MoreQuartzite Taj Mahal: Hone or Leather?
Comments (19)Thank you all so much for posting your comments here, reading all your comments finally helped me make a decision! We decided to go for leathered Taj for our kitchen renovation. Bacskplash, countertops, island…We have dark, honed marble now and ceaserstone and the marble etched and stained horribly. We were thinking of dolomitic stone ( similar to marble, not as stain resistant as quartzite) but after reading comments here, I decided for leathered TM. I do not want to worry, we cook a lot and are not super careful….Thank you. I will Post photos when ready, but here is the slab for now. It is polished, the stone place gets it honed or leathered. I like the look and feel of leathered stone....See MoreTaj Mahal Slabs - Help!
Comments (11)Looks like some are honed and some polished? Might also have to consider preferred finish in making your choice. Prepare for some sticker shock! Taj is so hard that fabrication is pricier. Ask me how I know! My kitchen was 3 slabs, mitered edge. I love it and the Taj is bulletproof. Enjoy....See MoreTaj Mahal pits in slab
Comments (5)Hallett is correct. Overfill with super glue and scrape to flush with a razor blade. Maybe a little polish to get the scrape marks off the super glue and the gloss to match if you're fussy. No tints please. Clear super glue will be an excellent match on that stone. An inexpensive light-cure adhesive will work well also. After you overfill, set a piece of clear plastic over the adhesive, cure with the light, peel the plastic, and scrape and polish to flush....See Moreljwjbw
