    Polishing glass mosaic, advice needed please.

    I want to change the shape of some glass mosaic and I've been using 60 grit stone polishing paper. It's working but it's quite slow and destroys the pads fairly quickly. Is there a specific polishing pad out there for this purpose does anyone know? It's not to polish the face, but the sides, so...

    Polishing cloths

    Just wondered what everyone used for the final buff after grouting. Do you use a specific type of cloth or just an old t-shirt? I've been using microfibre cloths recently and find them to be very effective, also lint free car polishing cloths do a top job.

    Travertine - Re-sealing and 'polishing'

    Just been asked to re-seal a travertine tiled bathroom - I tend to avoid this sort of job like the plague but with the way things are at the moment I don't think its commercially wise to turn anything down. Anyway I've never done any resealing so am a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm assuming...
