Q:
Stained stone
I had a visit from an old guy the other day who wanted advice about some staining on his stone - so I went to visit him this morning.
He has a lightly colored Juperana Indian Gold granite (very sandy, sedimentary stone) with what looks like typical cooking grease stains at his stove. He was told that the stone was sealed upon install but I have strong doubts about that because even at other areas you can see stains from simple hand oils at the edges and oily marks near eating areas on the island. He tried some poultice he bought at H.D. - it looked to him to have taken care of it. He placed tin foil over the poultice to hold the moisture in. When he applied aquamix sealer to it the oil spots returned.
I am not familiar with the poultice they sell at h.d. so I have no idea what it is. I have never used the aguamix sealer either. How tough will it be for a better poultice to get through the sealer.
Any suggestions? I would like to help the old guy out if I can.
I was thinking an acetone based poultice covered with plastic wrap to remove the stains and maybe enhance the color with ager after if some remain. I would hate to darken the kitchen on the guy unless I need to.
A: All you have to do is use a degrease, floor, plastic wrap and ducked tape to remove that stain, do not forget to cut small holes in the plastic.
