Wet Sanding Cultured Marble

With a little elbow grease.

Wet sanding cultured marble.

Sanding marble is a time consuming process. While this method will work fine for statues tile and marble countertops sanding large areas of marble like marble floors requires a completely different process and technique. This diy project shows how we saved all the cultured marble countertops in our project house by polishing polishing polishing. Before sanding or grinding any marble surface it is important to clean the area thoroughly.

Change your damp pieces of sandpaper as required. I was disappointed by how quickly my cultured marble countertop lost its shine so one day i took out my auto polisher and went at it. Wipe your vanity surface again with a clean soft cloth. Dirt and dust will compress into the marble further scarring or discoloring the surface.

Cultured tops are made of polyester resin with a clear topcoat called the gel coat. This is the same material that s used with fiberglass and it buffs out. This will require using a wet sanding process to achieve the desired results.
