hi all
ive put down some polished marble and tried HG basic impregnator,
it just sits on the surface and doesnt soak in, and leaves an oily rainbow residue, any ideas on what will soak in,
help greatly appreciated

cheers
 
so its normal to get the greasy effect intially, when you polish that off i assume the impregnator has still soaked in?
 
Different marbles have different surface tension (the final finish on the marble). Normally with a highly polished marble it will be more difficult to impregnate with the sealer. Different make sealers vary tremendously but in general they all need a carrier to take the sealer below the surface and that can either be a solvent, water or combination. As a rule of thumb polished marble accepts solvent or combination based sealers the best. However, the best way is to carry out a test on a spare piece with a couple of different sealers until you are satisfied with the result. Be patient when applying and most importantly follow the application directions. Good Luck:thumbsup:
