Wet-like stains on the newly installed onyx mosaic walls
Comments (9)Looking just at the enhancer/sealer possibilities, did your contractor leave any of the enhancer/sealer with you? or, go out and get some. then, on a NON-wet-looking tile but NEAR the wet-looking tile, apply the enhancer/sealer to maybe one tile or so depending on size of tile. after it dries (the time it says to dry on the enhancer/sealer), does it look like the wet areas or the dry? I put tumbled onyx 4x4 honey and tumbled onyx 1x2 multi mosaic in our shower (and backsplash on vanity and kitchen too for that matter) and I liked the wet look better. I used the 501 enhancer/sealer before installation and some of the tiles did look different depending on whether they were darker or lighter stone naturally. However, looking at the tiles as a whole, they did not at all look like some were wet and some were dry. maybe the test above will help and maybe answering mongo's and pharaoh's questions will help determine the answer. hth...See MoreNewly installed doors

Comments (2)Usually with two different types of wood, you need to do two different stain matches or sometimes thinning the stain with paint thinner to lighten the color of the stain will work. To lighten it after the stain has dried you can dip a rag in paint thinner and try to pull some of the dark out but this may be hard to do after the stain has dried. You can use an oil primer over the stain and then paint with the topcoat of your choice....See MoreWarning against Corian Quartz - Don't do it!
Comments (26)The guys in the lab at DuPont are all saying "We told you so." to the marketing and design departments. The bald people at DuPont are all in the Public Relations department. They've pulled out all their hair. Swami Joe predicts they pull the plug on this; it's unsustainable because of the internet. I'd love to throw some Tenax Quartz Toner on that stuff just to see what happens....See Morenattles1983
