I do not understand.

Why are you using pure tin oxide on a marble floor?

Re: Joints of White Marble

Jo, Is tin oxcide for granite only ? I would think x5 would be a better choice then seal it afterward....

Re: Joints of White Marble

I have heard of people using tin to polish marble seen that it is a fine abrasive. 5X would be the way to go if you ask me.

Re: Joints of White Marble

the tin oxide is what is causing it to turn black. i dont understand why you would use it on marble.

Re: Joints of White Marble

In India tin oxide is usually used to give the marble the final lusture, it really works well

Try some 5x it works much better and faster and it does not turn the grout black.
