TO REMOVE SCRATCHES OR CHIPS
CLEANING: Clean abrasives with damp cloth for longer life & performance.
Repairing scratched or chipped stones is similar to working on rough stones.
For DEEP Scratches: Start at Step 2c, then continue up to FINAL STEP.
For LIGHT scratches: Often, the FINAL STEP is enough to get rid of light scratches. Also try ALTERNATE FINAL STEP.
ANIE’S TIP: To avoid scratches on nished piece, follow ALL steps THOROUGHLY & inspect your piece after each step.
