Antique Finish Process in Granite
Antique process uses brushes that move across the stone surface removing the softer stone material while leaving the harder more dense material behind. This produces a unique, matte texture. If we start from an unpolished or honed surface to achieve antique, make sure all of the heavy scratches are removed. If we begin with a polished surface, then remove the polish down to a 120 grit level. Stones that have a tight grain like absolute black may need to be flamed to open the grain and allow the antiquing process to occur.
Antiquing brushes, must run at a slow speed and with very light pressure. Increased pressure does not speed the process; it only wears the brushes faster. Start the process with the 36 grit brushes; run as many passes as necessary to achieve the desired look. Then follow up with the remaining grits to the 300 grit level. At this point apply an enhancer such as Ager to the surface for a finished look or continue to the 600 grit level.
