Re Wet Look.
John,
I am a complete granite buffoon. We have a rosy pink
granite here when it is bushed. Purplish when honed, and
a leathery sienna when polished. How did you get to your
surface. Did you carve it or are you just polishing up.
If you carved it you could well have put some crazing
into it yourself.
I am a deceitful spirit who cares not for sincerity. I
have bought the bottle of elixar the which bestows deep
hue to even rough surfaces. It is a reversible spell and
will come out with a naptha wash. Yes it will require who
knows how much sporadic renewal: for all eternity. Is
your eternal soul at stake? Can you resist the
temptation?
With marble there is a great ethos of nudity of the stone,
quite as if our work were somehow paradisical removed from
all grip of earthly corrosion. We send our work out in
frocks as white as certain nuns, before they got the idea
that black is a more suitable color for the world. Are
our works unearthly, purely of the ideal? Unashamed?
Aquarian?
I say slather that baby up. Go whoring. Try everything.
The stone likes to suffer. Wet look indeed. You'll dry
out.
This product availible at your granite supplies dealer.
