Losing sleep over mysterious sound - Boston Globe

PETER HOTTON | HANDYMAN ON CALL
The Boston Globe
By Peter Hotton
June 1, 2008



Q. My stone countertop has developed lots of tiny spots and cuts and scratches, and it is really not that old. I found out later that it is granite, and it is pitted. How can I restore it? The dealer said he cannot do anything because I didn't buy the granite from him, but from a third party.

RUINED MY GRANITE

A. You didn't necessarily ruin the granite, but you sure abused it by using it as a cutting board and banging on it and other naughty things. Call the man who sold it to grind it smooth again. Then apply a granite sealer. The dealer who refused to help you is rather selfish; he could have reground the top for a hefty fee. Find a dealer who can regrind it.

So was the mysterious sound the consumer banging his head on the granite top? There's a cure- look up an nsra guy.

Must be a matter of poor fabricator to comsumer education.
